It is possible that the car thieves placed the classic car in a vehicle transporter and removed it from the Feeny area, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said.

DS Gardiner said: “We are investigating a number of lines of enquiry, one of which is that the vehicle was removed and possibly put onto a car transporter to be moved elsewhere.
