A total loss if a claim is made.
Been quiet a few flood damaged ones through the local salvage yard in the past few months due the heavy rain a few months back.

Such a shame.

Looks like a Mk2 Tourer too!

We had a 12month old Mondeo pool car ( no pun intended ) that got stuck in a flood a couple of years ago and that was written off so a 10+ year old Rover has got no chance !

I hope it survived.

I think there are people still in it; the lights are on and most people would switch them off when abandoning a car in water that doesn’t look too deep. So it could still be moving when the picture was taken. Let’s hope its ok.

Have you noticed the sign on the left "Boat Museum" !
