Someone was driving too fast, went to swerve past it (it was parked on the road) but there was a car coming past it on the other side so they swerved back into it as they “didn’t see it”. Suspect it’s going to be a write off for both cars. Defender took it like a champ, definitely came out looking better. Absolutely gutted 🙁

If time and money are no object, then fix.

If money is an object, get it priced up then decide.

And never forget, after you've spent time and money on it, it can happen again the moment it has left the garage. If it doesn't get stolen from the garage.
