Was that a Velar?

EDIT - It’s got the stick on bonnet vents, and grill too large for the Sport. So must be a Velar. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

New owner would likely have been offered it at a cut-down price now?

Well, they could have put that protective film on the bonnet to prevent stone chips. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Look on the bright side........... at least the Highways maintenance guys can bag lots of overtime examining and repairing the overhead gantry and then bill it to the transporter company

That's the M61 shut down overnight then for the next 6 weeks whilst they conduct safety inspections . . . and then through the summer rush as they repair it.

Tiz but a scratch ! Laughing
Clearly hit the concrete bridge down the road not the gantry looking at those scratched, Thought all motorway bridges were high enough for fully ladedn car transporters. If not it must be a nightmare for car transporter deliveries. FL2 Ex D2, D3, RRS, etc. now all gone.
