World's First Convertible Range Rover Velar Created By Transporter Mishap

A transporter driver in the north west of England accidentally made a Velar convertible via a collision with a bridge

Does the Range Rover Evoque convertible fail to meet your needs? Would it be the weird niche vehicle for you, if it was just a bit bigger and a bit posher? Then step right this way, as we have a car you’re bound to be interested in.

It’s the world’s first Range Rover Velar convertible, created by an intrepid transporter lorry driver who forgot to lower the top deck of his vehicle before driving on the M61 motorway in the north west of England.

This unconventional approach to vehicle customisation (smashing the top end of an expensive, brand-new car into a bridge) has resulted in quite a bit of glass and general debris littering the cabin, so the owner will need to do some pretty intensive vacuum cleaning. But that’s surely a price worth paying for this level of style.

Unfortunately, North West Motorway Police didn’t take too kindly to this vehicular creativity, reporting the driver for driving without due care and attention.

I am actually driving this part of the M61 quite commonly and I’ve honestly no idea how he’s actually managed this. The tunnel in the image is where the impact will have happened (only place for it) but many, many lorries use it so it’s quite surprising he managed to do this.

I think he forgot to lower the upper deck of the trailer, so he actually wasn’t allowed to drive like this because the cars on the top were to high for bridges.

It was a under pass from a busy roundabout at the kearsley interchange so as it becomes the m61 from St. Peter’s way in bolton, my other comment has the interior damage but it caused problems for miles and only reason he did this cos he didn’t reposition his load before driving after loading all the vehicles on so it was above the 5M bridge height
