The Insurance Claim will be interesting on this one...

and then there is the slight point of interest regarding the towing vehicle being sorned! Might change the insurance aspects somewhat...and also the level of Police interest.

That was a very good spot, i have just double checked...yep it is Sorn does have an MOT though...Wonder if it was insurred ?

It might have BEEN insured...but I doubt the insurance company would pay out when they are gifted a get-out like that!

Do the plates show up on dvla as I thought he incident was over the water in Ireland?

@zeaphod any ideas
Does your number plate show on the dvla website(if it’s a Uk plate)

Was in MOT until the 5th March so tax may have been due 1st March and therefore sorned a couple of days ago.

When was the picture taken?....doesnt mean it was this week

could be they SORN it after the accident as lets face it it isnt going to be needing tax for a month or 2..

The post was put up on FB 01March2021 but the pics could have been taken before this. Someone else has noted the following:

Hopefully they were fully insured, taxed and tested...

There's a guy over here in the south who does regular trips to Europe, the UK and all over Ireland picking up and delivering classic cars and motorbikes. In in a classic car forum over here and he gets a fair bit of business and recommendations from members. He pulls an open trailer with a 4x4. This trailer has a lift at the front so he can tow 2 cars, a few bikes and even tows a car aswell. Everyone raves about him. Personally I wouldn't let him pick up flat pack furniture from IKEA for me. God knows what insurer would the set up he has.

Yes, Northern Irish regs show up on the system. If these are vehicles are owned by Trevor, I think this accident happened quite a long time ago. Funny the photos popped up on facebook recently too.

reckon he must be close or over his weight with the two cars on it.

And nose wheel weight...well..

I have seen worse at Farm Sales ..... but man that is someone else's kit, i am with @mick the builder, wouldn't use him..
