Towing Advice from MCA - oops

[Jono Garton]

Anyone know anything about this?

[Phil Davies]

Jono, surely that's got to be the rolled RIB/Land Rover incident that the Holyhead Coastguard told me and you about at the Open Day this summer? Both were written off if I remember correctly!

[Rogue Wave]

I have heard those humbers areent good in the wet!

easily done I am afraid. I can't see why the landrover was a write off and the Hull looks fairly intact to me.

[Jono]

... and the Land Rover is fitted with Sherpa van mirror arms. Interchangeable with and longer than standard LR arms and great for towing puposes... If someone knows were the wreck is........

Please note, too, that in addition to 4WD this particular model features a four wheel steer configuration, similar in concept to the JCB 4CX backhoe loader. This is immediately recognisable from the angle of the rear wheels and is particularly advantageous in close quarter manoeuvring situations when a tight turning circle may be preferable. Jono will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this feature was confined to a limited production run at Solihull in the late 1980s and was available on all models with an 'ST' serial number suffix.

The tubes look like they may have suffered from this accident but the hull looks ok??? I don't see why it would have been written off..... oh and the landy techy stuff is getting out of hand
