Watching some chaps on Youtube exploring an old flooded prison in Estonia and at 2 mins 48 seconds into the video there is a upside down car sunk on the bottom of the lake.

I cannot ID it, so, anyone else got any ideas ?

Link to video:

Anyone know how to make the link pop the video into the post ?

Thats is incredible undercarriage recognition!

PH at its finest.

How curious that a jaguar ended up in the water in an Estonian flooded prison.

I have friends in Estonia, near Tartu. Videos always show happy smiling people.
Military service is mandatory, and when I google mapsed their address I saw they were only 30 km from the Russian border.

chat gpt = beetle

gemini pro = mini

co pilot = wouldnt pick a car and made these suggestions

A classic Jeep (CJ series or similar),
A Land Rover Series II/III,
A Suzuki Samurai / SJ,
Or another older compact 4×4 with a flat-sided design.


I am so glad we are paying 300% price increases for memory etc. so worth it

Amazing by RetroWheels-like you say PH at it's best.

I guess nothing remains but for the rest of us to demand whether it has clear rear glass or tints, silver wheels rather than black, and prefer a green over tan colour scheme. Plus something about Bradford.

I dodnt wk about with the Ai toss but instead spent ages on google looking at suitably eastern European cars and also some Russian stuff to try and see if anything looked like it might be a match.

Never crossed my mind it mignt be a Jaaag.
