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?

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?

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.

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

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 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?

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

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

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
