As I was on my way to Masham yesterday afternoon, I was on the B6267, which runs between the A1 & Masham, I started making ground on a 90 Pick-Up.
Nothing unusual about seeing a Pick-Up around there, after all it is very rich farming country (soil-wise, not the money!)
On getting closer, I noticed the owner must have been using it as a step-ladder.
The roof panel was rather crumpled & subsiding.
I wonder what the bonnet & wings were like?
Yes, I realise that it's just a tool like a spade to a farmer. I just hope he doesn't have a 6'4" passenger, he'll suffer :lol:
Sorry, for the quality, but it was a 'grab-shot'

Nah. Expect he left it in a field and the yorkshire mountain goats had been playing on it
:lol:

You will often see me climbing on my90 on the bonnet and wings and occasionaly on the roof depending how deep the water, or if I'm washing it.
Got check plate on bonnet and wings though that were placed on there following its BT days when they also climbed all over the car. In fact the BT driver was from up north also, hmm common theme here.
Never damaged it myself however when climbing all over it, neither have the kids who treat it all the time as a climbing frame.
The dented roof could always have been caused by a cow being dropped out of a space ship having been abducted for experiments and landing on the only land rover for 50 miles.
One never knows....... They could be watching .........

I too used to clamber all over the 110, it too had checker-plated wing-tops & bonnet. But as for washing it :shock: ?
My old Light-Weight had a truck-cab when I bought it, & that was practically caved in on the passenger side (it was almost level with the windscreen top-rail)

Sorry... I don't understand... it looks like a perfectly normal 90 to me... they certainly all look like that round here !

Sorry Tim, the photo isn't too clear, the near-side of the roof was all bashed in presumably from being stood on.
On cresting brows in the road, the dent could be seen silhouetted against the screen, so it was fairly low!

LOL....
Washing it, yes I'm afraid once or twice a year he gets a wash and it is so handy standing on the roof with a yard broom.
Found recently that its better to just get a brush and paint over the dirt.

yes that roof looks just like mine :!:

good solid roofs on Landies
NOT
:lol:

My roof is like that.
Pesky (sorry delightful little darlings) kids in the club saw my external roll cage as a climbing frame.
Then of course there is always the slightly "overfed salad dodger" child that sat right on the roof and now its more rippled than peter andres stomach.
Oh well, its only a roof....
