Adding insult to injury...

Some poor soul had their 90 nicked in Cambs last night which was used to go shopping in Aldi....
Bad enough having it nicked, let alone practically totalled.
Bet it's repairable though.....I remember years ago a Coast Guard 90 rolled off a cliff, someone bought it as a write off and got it back on the road.
Condolences to the owner of this 90.

indeed, feel sorry for the owner ,

seems it’s not too uncommon these days with the amount of fenders getting nicked for this reason

ref the coast guard, shame they didn’t advertise there repair skills, lol

must have been fake news , as i can’t see how on earth it would have been drivable after such a fall, but maybe they managed to salvage the ashtray

I'm sure there was a write up in one of the mags, LRO, LRM? It's also here http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Wrecks_Cliff_jumper.htm
LR used a clipping for an ad too but could be good advertising....an enthusiast named Jim Nelson bought it and restored it, apparently.

I thought owning older Landys would make them less desirable, mine is tatty looking but runs well, 'stealth/sleeper' approach (@KISSMYAURA) so I doubt anyone would want the doors, bonnet, chassis...but it would be a useful ram-raider
Slowly increasing the security layers on mine...

thks for the link and very interesting , know they throw the 1/2 ton landies out of planes , but that’s impressive for the chassis to survive with minimal damage without a parachute , lol

maybe for ram raiding fill the front bumper with concrete
