Richard Matthews, 37, stole the distinctive pale blue Ford Anglia 105E from a garage in Kent on October 17, 2019
A burglar who stole an immaculately restored replica of an iconic Harry Potter car has been jailed for one year and ten months.
Richard Matthews, 37, stole the distinctive pale blue Ford Anglia 105E from a garage and sped off just three months after owner Steven Wickenden, 49, had spent £17,000 kitting it out.
The 1965 classic had been specially customised to look like the magical vehicle Ron Weasley uses to fly Potter to Hogwarts in the Chamber of Secrets before it is trashed by the Whomping Willow tree.
