So just outside our compound on waste ground is a abandoned Land Rover Discovery, shabby looking but still together. It's been there over a year now and no one has touched it. We've looked inside and there's medical paperwork and old compound passes. This compound used to house nurses/doctors two years ago.
Does anyone know how we could go about finding who it belongs to and if we could adopt it KSA style? It does have number plates.
Thanks

I used to have one and I can entirely understand why someone might leave one in a car park.

I second that. They are temperamental beasts even if you use one every day. After a year sitting doing nothing, it will probably cost far more than it's worth to get working properly again,even if it ever did in the first place.

I sold mine for 500 pounds to somebody I've held a grudge against for years.

Nearly drove it into the nearest lake but didn't want to be fined for polluting a beauty spot to so traded it in for a Pajero and have never looked back. Apart from the first car we ever bought, a Mini, when they were still built in the UK, we've never owned a British car since.
It's a shame, but there it is ... and before anyone mentions Range Rovers - wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. Apart from Jeremy Clarkson we've yet to find anybody who bought one and who is happy with it (on a performance basis rather than a status basis) either here or in the UK.

We had one, too, about 15 years ago - worst buy we ever made. About as interesting as a brick on skates - especially embarrassing when being overtaken by a JCB FastTrack. At three yrs old it had to be MOT'd (in the UK) and serviced. Bill? GBP1600! And that was after LandRover had agreed to pay about GBP1000 of the cost.

My uncle and cousin both have Defenders, they have been faultless (not that there is much to go wrong).
