Include details of distinctive marks and a complete vin number.
Colour, too, though bear in mind it will probably have the chassis plate damaged, doors welded shut so the VIN on the A post is unreachable, a spray job, and a different engine.
Keep on at your local police, if 240s are vanishing locally there is a pattern.
Don't be fobbed off with the " someone has nicked it to get home/going to use it for a ram raid/ gone abroad for parts"- it has been stolen , possibly to order, for racing.
Contact any racers you may know locally.
MP? they keep on about falling crime, make em work for their money.

Sadly, the penalties for stealing a car, or receiving a stolen car, are not very robust.
I had this happen to me years ago, and got the car back. It was beyond repair though.At least I could sell some mechanical bits.

Best of luck with your search, keep everyone informed if it turns up.
