I own a Series 3 E Type, 2+@ V12 and considering having a tracker fitted, ant thoughts or recommendations out there?

The search engine is your friend. Try “tracker”, “security” and similar words. You should be able to find some ideas to start you off.
Also, you can fit cut off/battery isolator switches so no power to the fuel pump or starter. A steering wheel lock is a visible deterrent.

Apple Air Tag(s) with the loudspeaker disconnected is the most cost effective way to go.

Have a look at “CarLock”, available on Amazon for around £35 and an annual subscription of £70. Works for me. Its operates on the mobile network monitoring the vehicle’s location and route via its GPS at all times, senses movement, change in battery load and even disconnection. Installs directly to the battery.

Danny,

That looks like a good option you’ve identified.

I can’t see this info anywhere on the site, so maybe you would oblige ?

What are the physical dimensions of the CarLock, please ?

Many thanks,

Rory

What is wrong with a £20 Tescos Pay as You Go phone.

If you put the IMEI number into free IMEI tracker, surely that is job done?

No yearly subscription.

The basic hand sets are tiny, can be wired in and hidden anywhere in the car.

Hi, the car lock is about the size of a cigarette pack and a half.
