There is a small car park I use now and again, when I go walking in a particular area nearby. It's in a rural area, and very secluded, although usually it's reasonably busy, as it's next to an old priory remains, and is used by ramblers.
I've used the car park for the past three or four years now, and ever since I started using it, I've seen an old land rover parked there, very rusty, and slowly decaying.
I, (like most people I suppose), never payed it any attention. I did once park my old mini next to it and take a few pictures of them together, but that's about it.
Since I was last there a few months ago, I've become interested in series landys, and now finally own one. Using my new found judgement, I can say from memory, that it's either a series 2 or 2a.
I really cannot understand why anybody would park their series (with a canvas tilt and unlocked doors), in a national trust car park, and leave it to rot for years. The only possibilities I can see are that it was nicked and dumped there, and everyone passing has been too ignorant to report it to the police, or that somebody left it there because they couldn't be bothered to scrap it.
It would certainly make a tidy little project for somebody, and I have every intention of sorting this conundrum out. If it has no rightful owner to be re-united with, perhaps a good outcome would be to put it on ebay as a project and then donate the proceeds to H4H or something.
