72-4 Challenger Rallye badly damaged

Post by shovelheadrob »

My son in law posted a couple of pics of a late Challenger on it's roof yesterday in Kent. It didn't look too good, hope the driver/passengers are ok.

Nasty, looks to have gone down a ditch and turned over. Hope no one was seriously hurt, Don't think I recognise the car.

Apparently it is near Eynsford, the driver was seen walking wounded, as Blue said British registration. Looks like it was a pretty sound car before.

From the frost on the car it looks like it's recent. Hope nobody hurt.

challenger crash

Post by TonyO »

Wow, lets hope no one is seriously injured. Not sure but that Challenger could be Pete Webb's new ride he brought in from America around Autumn time. He showed me a bunch of photos at this years MoparEuoNats and that looks like the same car and the incident took place near to Bromley where he lives.

Same thoughts here Tony hoping no one is seriously injured. The DVLA website shows the car as first registered October 2016 which would tie in with what you are saying. What a shame :(
