What a disaster! Looks like the one on the trailer had just finished a major restoration. Owner will be gutted.

Oh dear what a shame on all counts, we don't know the circumstances but not good for the landrover peeps

 

[doriz]

Yep, damn shame. No one wants to see this.

The FB link states the 130 was straight out of restoration and en route to being delivered to the new owner in the US. Can't help but think wrong 130 on the wrong trailer being towed by the wrong car. Really do feel for the driver/restoration company. But whoever did the strapping down did a great job

Looking at the roof of the 90, how the hell did that happen?

Looks like trailer got a wobble-on, perhaps under braking, tried to overtake...driver corrected, trailer went to overturn and took the 90 with it. The driver was lucky the roof didn't collapse

Always the danger with using a flat bed trailer rather than a vehicle trailer. You would think a resto company would have the right type as they obviously transport vehicles regularly.

Those pictures make me sad. Words fail me!

Ah now! tis but a scratch begorrah begorrah begorrah. diddly diddly doo. listen ere ye bleedy leprechaun that aint goin to buff out. If this such a valuable prize going to usa surely a better vehicle to tow with say a evoque

We have same trailer (if it is the 14 foot one which it looks like) and it is good for the mini digger sand and general work but do not like moving cars on it as if you load engine first there is too much weight on the front and other way around too much weight at the back, my son had a toyota pick up on it for about a km and said he did not dare go above 20 mph

Well fortunately the damage to the 130 shouldn't be TOO much of a disaster to put right, back to the restoration company for a few more weeks though.

 

[Beneagles]

No airbags to cushion the trailer once righted - nothing like making life difficult for yourselves!

The doors are bent out of perpendicular, the bulkhead is bent out of perpendicular, so the outriggers will be twisted meaning the chassis is probably carped. Very fubared I reckon

Ouch!

All involved must be absolutely gutted. If the insurance don’t pay out, this is the sort of situation that can end people’s businesses and livelihoods. I hope there is some sort of positive outcome.

If they had the right insurance there shouldn't be an issue, 750Kg for trailer and even if you say 2 tonne for the 130 its still within limits of 3.5 tonnes. Not sure if normal insurance would cover things you are towing. Heaven forbid if they have personal insurance as well as they will seek every get out.

Such a shame I love 130's.

Then there is the issue of having the right licence, and being on tacho etc.

Wrong trailer for the load, but the load strapping is on point....

the police report would be interesting reading

as to insurance, theres so many fb etc. posts related to this that any investigator will 'know' what happend before the claim paperwork lands on their desk

personally I think a 90 is too short to tow a 130 and that trailer also contributed to the incident

ultimately it's the driver that is responsible.................


Rich. (hope the straps have been cut & binned, they have definately lived their 'lives')
