I seen that MINI on the back of the transporter aswell (much to the annoyance of the gf cos I spotted it at neat a 1/2 mile away from it and she couldn't even see it!)

The front drivers wing looked panned in:(, and the rear plate was missing:(, but didn't look like it had been on fire, but I may have been mistaken

I was sure that the paint had been scorched off the front drivers wing - it looked like it was down to bare metal with the type of rust / burnt metal look from what i saw at the engine bay area - it had not spread much further back than the wheel arch tho from what i saw, but as i said, i kind of passed it before i managed a good look, so i maybe mistaken, but a crash, with a fire in the engine bay was my initial assessment.gerry
