Don't worry, this is a Dolomite after a 30mph smack into a stationary car.

Chap walked away, albeit with neck injuries and broken legs... On second thoughts he probably didn't walk...

Not sure quite how this was managed but all three occupants were mullered, none over the age of 14...

That'll be kid's blood on the seat and headrest then.
Unpleasant.

I can't help wondering why someone would do that.

Certainly not the least grim scene, I'd not have wanted to have been a first responder to that...

The owner claimed a car pulled out in front of him from a junction and then stopped. Although the guy was a total bullshitter and I could well believe he either wasn't paying attention or was just driving too fast for the road. He had 4 Triumph saloons over a few years and not one managed to exit his ownership in salvageable condition...

Look on the bright side, it's 3 fewer scumbags in the world.

The guy who bought this did a video of the underneath today. Reminded me how much still there was to do, despite spending a year on, in and under it!

Which reminds me, I still have the closing panels to give to him. Also the nearside rear mount that I fabricated to replace the poor effort currently there! I fabricated and attached the offside but never got around to the nearside.
Glad it's going to get finished. The guy also has way more spare 1100 parts to get it finished without spending big bucks like I would have had to.
