Does this count? No rain for weeks and so the river reveals this:-

Golf?

Honda Jazz?

[High Jetter]

I think it's an estate, of some flavour. Astra?

[richbraith]

My old manor is a resting place for Land Rovers of all ages it seems...it's always been so.  Quite shocker to see local giffer piloted Defender has now bitten the dust...isn't that practically a new one? 

[Asimo]

I went back with a camera and a 200mm lens. Still no idea what it is.

Honda Jazz, knew it as soon as I saw the rear headrest

Just seen you already said that, I think that's definitely a Honda Jazz too

[Asimo]

Doesn't a Jazz have a bigger window between door and screen-pillar?

 Edit - not the older models. The Jazz has it.

[High Jetter]

Not a Scenic view, then?

Next to a footpath in Mickleham Downs near Box Hill, Surrey.  I have no idea how they got up there but the older one is quite a well known local landmark and has apparently been there for many years.

Is that a Hyundai Santa Fe trying to make friends with a Discovery 2?

I think the back one is a Subaru, perhaps a very aptly named ‘Forester’?

Front one - my guess is a two door early 1990s thing like a Shogun/Pajero or Frontera.

A 2004/5 example  is unlikely to be ‘dead’ in Defender terms, even with a stuffed TDi or rotted chassis it’s still worth a few grand.

Suspect it will get back on the road. The others….less so.

No cart springs, so a Fronterror it ain't.  Looking at the wheels, I'd go with Shogun.

Whatever it was, it is VERY DEAD!

I think this is somewhere in Italy; not quite my area.

If you have a snorkel and a hacksaw there should be a £400 catalytic converter attached to that

I can't quite believe my eyes. This is in Ernest Street in the centre of Birmingham 

Other than the front number plate and the bits that have dropped off, it's complete, interior was in good shape and the running gear appears to be there. Who the hell has dumped this in 2022?

What a find! Last on the road in 1996. Barmy how someone would dump it rather than sell for spares, which it clearly has plenty of. Will it survive the night? I guess not...

I think it might have been there a while - hard to tell with all the rust falling off anyway. Someone really needs to grab it as a spares car I think.

Looking at street view there's a building being demolished - could it have been inside?

Not dumped technically, it's on someones drive. It's been there years now. The owners seem to get a luxo barge every once in a while, drive it a bit then park it.

Nail, head I reckon. 

[CaptainBoom]

I used to walk past this house every day, loved looking at the old barges.  All gone now, I suspect giffer owner died/moved out

Almost certainly. The old building looks exactly the sort of place to have old cars hidden away inside!

It’s probably been dragged out for a scrapyard to collect, or maybe the site owners are trying to establish ownership. Either way, I’m sure its days are numbered. There’s a great source of spares there. @captain_70s @SiC @purplebargeken

Very strangely someone appears to have abandoned an electric VW ID thingy near ours.  It's almost brand new and has been there for months, parked in a position significantly remote from any sort of electricity supply.  I do wonder if the two things are linked...

It’s from the garage at the top of the street, a lad told me they had a clear out earlier in the week

other side actually ain’t as bad, the bonnet was open when I got there and yes I did close it

So what's the plan for it, hope it gets towed or are they trying to sell it?

Glad you tracked the owners down 

[goosey]

As I was taking pics the lad I spoke to just happened to be walking past, he lives up the road and is not the owner. He saw the guys from the garage move the triumph and some other cars out the garage at the top of the street last week he was also quite surprised it was still there and in one piece 

[bunglebus]

This has been parked at a jaunty angle for at least a month now

The Dolly had a last change of keeper in March 1995 and was also originally Brown, repainted in Feb/March 1993.
