Ah, I had no idea. I think I drove down there in my XJS when I first moved out this way. A few places you can scrape down there for sure.

Trying to avoid traffic on the way back from Goodwood FOS years ago my dad (with me) managed to take his XJ-S through a very flooded road/farm track. For a relatively low car it copped surprisingly well, although my dad did look rather uncomfortable having committed to the route when it became clear just how flooded & how long the detour was going to be (and there was no possibility of turning round).

I once almost drove down Violets Lane near Furneaux Pelham in not-a-4x4, with no idea what it could be like, but fortunately changed my mind before committing to it!

That road/track looks like submerged Defender territory.

I was driving so couldn't get a better pic today (it was facing the opposite direction as well) but it looks like a Silver Spirit/Bentley Mulsanne/Turbo body that's had some Phantom style bits added, all of which looked out of scale. Assume it must've been done for weddings.
