Police are investigating after a classic car believed to be worth more than £40,000 was reported stolen.

Burglars are thought to have forced the garage door open and taken the red Jaguar E-Type from a home in Shorne.

The car may have been towed away from the scene.

Officers are now appealing for help from the public.

PC James Davey said: "This 44-year-old car is in very good condition. The owner has spent a lot of time and money maintaining it and I would be really keen to help him get it back."

The theft happened between 12.30am and 12.51am on Tuesday, September 20 - the same day an E-Type Jaguar worth £200,000 was stolen from outside a Dover hotel.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 01474 366 149 quoting reference XY/037161/16, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
