Scroll down the page to 11.55 am for a very sad sight. Is this brown Dart known to the club? An unusual colour. Unfortunately no reg visible. Let’s hope it was safely retrieved and sorted out.
Just joined the new forum. Long may it continue.

Dart in Distress - lost wheel
Re: Dart in Distress - lost wheel
Not an unusual colour, just a dirty standard Daimler maroon, just like mine was in 1968 although now it's a Fiat maroon.
From BBC News 19th April 2018, luckily not my car, but similar! Mine doesn't have a rear bumper.

Re: Dart in Distress - lost wheel
Anything more to the story, such as cause and effect ? Im assuming form memory it should have studs.. since they are absent, perhaps the wheel nuts were done up with a powerful air wrench and overtightened, (rather then carefully torqued to spec) weakening the studs and causing them to break off.. not an uncommon scenario stateside..
