Fire at Range Rover Classic restorer in Redditch
Discussion
The picture would show otherwise. Its twentyten engineering - bit of a giveaway with the 12 or so RRC's you can see. I've been there and that is exactly what it looks like, except it wasn't on fire when I saw it as wanted some work on the Series 3 but he only does RRC's. Live less than a mile away.

Doesn’t seem likely. In my experience it’s the locals who go on a robbing rampage when the gypsies turn up as they know where everything not bolted down is and knownthat gypsies will get the blame. What’s weird is that there wouldn’t really have been any cats in that building and the people who go out to nick cats know what they are looking for.
I hope Phil can get his business back up and running quickly at can get fair value for all the parts he was storing. And I just hope there’s cover for the customers.
My car is up there at the moment at the trimmers and the news first thing in the morning was that it was Trevor’s unit, not Phil’s, that had burnt. That would have been 9 years of work and about £100k gone.

There are lots of people within 30 minutes' drive. Implicitly blaming, or at least suggesting, one group of people, with no other evidence than they are within 30 minutes' drive bit ridiculous, to be honest. FlipFlopGriff said:
Don't know the difference in the units but I did see one mid blue RRC is exceptional condition parked in a car park very close to the yard so maybe yours? I din't go through the gates but could see the top of the unit and all the metal cladding had melted and distorted.

Thanks. Mine is green and over at Nationwide Trim. FFG

I spoke to them yesterday, they are looking to be up and running on a much smaller scale in the next week or so. They will be rebuilding the shop but that will take a while.
They have lost a lot, a number cars that can't be replaced. We should give them all the support we can to get them up and trading again.
