Fire crews were forced to cut the roof off a new Land Rover to free its driver after the vehicle slipped off the upper deck of a car transporter. The unusual rescue was carried out at Land Rover's plant in Damson Lane, Solihull, amid fears that the trapped driver had suffered back injuries.

I can imagine the first words he will hear when he gets back to work are "Mr. Xxxx, would you please come to my office?" :-)
Expect a product announcement shortly for the Range Rover convertible

Was it driver error or a handbrake failure before even leaving the factory?!
Or watch forthcoming LR brochures for overhead/cutaway shots showing interior features.
Possibly it was a rover-built car transporter, and the top deck had rusted away? :)
Apparently it was the top of the range model with the TLS upgrade (twin leaking seal) on the handbrake mech.
I can only ever dream of owning one with two leaks on the same seal.
If fact, one day I may even be able to get a seal which would be nice....but I'm easily pleased.

Must be difficult keeping track of what your driving in this mans position.....nobody told him it was a 130, no doubt the rest loaded on were
90's.:-)

One of the Silver Arrow drivers at Portbury drove a brand new Mercedes
320SLC off the front of his transporter one night. He complained of back ache afterwards ... nothing compared to the moans from the body shop that had to touch up the panels before they could load it again :-)
What a wimpy driver, obviously doesn't do much off road stuff, at least not intentionally. What a waste of a landi.
