Flames had also spread to a nearby fence.
Ms Webster, from Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, said her vehicle has been damaged during previous visits to her friend’s Denaby home, with a number of windows smashed during an attack in February.
She urged local residents with CCTV cameras to check their footage for signs of the culprit or group responsible.
The Freelander was destroyed in the arson attack.
Ms Webster said: “The fire could have endangered lives.

“If anyone in the area has CCTV cameras can they please pass on any footage they have to help the police get to the bottom of this.
“The alarm sounded just before the fire so chances are residents might have been disturbed and looked outside and seen something.”
