Hard hit for a 2007 Defender :(

Big tree, dead centre at what looks like high speed is not a pretty sight.

ManheimFowles - Vehicle Details - Salvage

It reminds me of a similar hit I saw years ago on a LR Aust 130 crew cab.

Anyone want to guess what the speed at impact was?


I'll say 40km/hr.

I thought the same. The only thing that is probably still good in that is the wheels. Even the rear pinion has probably been smashed through.

I think it depends on who you're insured with

Going by the oil stains on the concrete, it appears to still be mechanically sound. Just needs a bit of cut and polish on the front end.
But seriously, whose was it? Somebody from here?
