Easy, that's a Landrover Defender.....
🙂
The “meteorites” are probably conglomerated mass from self combustion within the bing.
Ah that would make sense, The only similar 'stuff' I've seen is the remains of old 'Vitrified Forts' - fortifications where the stone is fused together by heat (of which there are also examples in Ayrshire,
For Welsh Farmer's find...
Left hand drive points towards something European maybe? You see similar wheels on Daimler / Merc Benz trucks although finding a truck with a matching grill is more of a challenge
heres a L 4500
Left hand drive, conventional pedal layout (clutch->Brake-> Accel) Art-deco "dash" embossing, Flat style pressed wheels, i'm thinking 1930's small truck, maybe from the USA? International Harvester or something - looks to be a diamond shaped badge embossed on the radiator surround. It's not a V8 though, so perhaps not......
Vertical radiator, set back from front of vehicle, suggests earlier 1930's, as by the end of the 1930's cars started to get sloped back radiators as the "aerodynamics" of aircraft started to creap into their styling.
Top of the rad surround also sloped upwards in the middle, suggests a bonnet that wasn't flat that mirrored those lines, also seen in the line of the top of the firewall bulkhead. Perhaps suggests "Car" rather than "truck" in terms of coachwork?
The only clues I can offer are that it is definitely more truck size than car, and it is on Corsica so very high chance it is French (or German from WW2). Diamond badge could point towards Renault?
Edit. The lack of surviving bodywork and the remains of some wooden paneling on the left of the bulkhead, may suggest that large parts of the cab were wooden rather than metal??
Actually the lighter duty Daimler / Merc L2500 is a closer match for the wheel but this one wouidn't be a match for the grill. Maybe someone who shared a parts bin with Daimler though?
With mention of Corsica (and hence France) I was thinking Berliet. Then searching Berliet museum I found this Renault. Wheels and hub centre nut look the same. Grille is closer than anything else I found. So something along these lines I think.

That is close. Wheels certainly match and the cab construction is similar.
The diamond grill badge dates it from 1925 - 1946.
I think the pressings of the steel on the grill match that yellow one pretty much exactly. I reckon Mick_r has it you know.
It's the Renault 5 tonnes made from the 30s to the 40s.
OK my go with another truck.
This isn't a wreck, more a snap from the brochure. 1 point for what it is, another for recognising what is special about this one.

Nothing as exotic as some so far but here are a couple from today's ride.
Easy:
Pro:
Mick_r is yours an autonomous ISO container drone for use in ports, dockside? Wait, no, the distribution is wrong. It has got ISO locks though...
Nope. Think the locks are just for a removable body. It has a cab - I just cropped it off to make it more fun. It was a mass production UK road vehicle - just they didn't make many of this particular version.
Squirrel King - is your pro one a Range Rover Sport?
Mick_r. I would say the truck has been converted to electric power. No idea of make/model though
I like your thinking on the pro one above. Definitely something with a very beefy active antiroll system.
I had a small involvement in the hydraulic arc system hence the recognition........
Truck is electric. Wasn't an aftermarket conversion.
On my way home from town the other day I took a different route to the one I normally use, one I haven’t walked along for years, and I came on this dumped by the footpath. It’s within sight of a road, at the bottom of a field, almost certainly stolen and torched by someone who knew how to get there, it’s some way from any main roads, off of a private access road.
Could make a decent doer-upper...
That's a BMW 3 series
BMW 3 Series, 3rd gen.

You're only meant to blow the bloody doors off...... 😉
Looks like a Mini?
Didn’t think it would take anyone long to identify the beemer, I’ve got another photo with the bootlid lifted up to show the circular badge recess, but I thought that would be just too obvious.
I don’t like beemers particularly, but that does seem to be a waste.
Looks like a Mini?
What I was thinking, the circular hole in the centre of the dash for the speedo is a clue - a design feature sadly used in current BMW Minis, some retro features should be just left to die.
