There are at least three more cars in this deep lake but at a greater depth.

No. Water refraction, plus whatever is leaning up the side is doing it. You can see where the boot is open, and where it goes down. I still stick with MK2 cavalier saloon.

It's not a Morris Miner is it? 😉

My guess is Rover 800.

Some one will have to go back there and put us all straight.lol

I'm with Clunk on this. Definitely looks like a saloon Vauxhall Cavalier, although as Redlion says, profile is right for a Rover 800 🙂
my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Refraction makes it hard to tell.
But the front wheelarch shape, width of the C-pillar and back bumper shape don't quite fit with the Cavalier.
I would reckon on a Mk1 Rover 820 or possibly the equivlent Honda Legend

I think it is a Volvo 740/760 as the rear window is vertical and some had an aerofoil on the boot lit.

I think that maybe I should go back there at some point, and take some underwater photos of the car so we can be certain...
