    Fancy the keys to a brand-new VW Golf? Join the first nationwide treasure hunt for a car and it could be yours.

    Recognise where this car is parked? If so you could be driving it away. If not – keep watching the live stream for more clues. Click play to start the live video feed to see more clues as they arrive.At the time of writing there’s a trumpet and ‘black dog’ to help.

    Former supermodel and petrolhead Jodie Kidd launched the competition earlier today.

    The TV presenter was on hand to provide the first clue to the car’s secret location – the trumpet.

    Those who correctly guess the iconic location of the VW Golf, hidden in plain sight somewhere in the UK, could be rewarded with the keys.

    You’ve got just a few hours to find the location of the car, so check out the live stream, above, then head to the Comparethemarket.com website to log where you think it is.

    Clues will be added to the picture throughout the two days, helping to reveal the vehicle’s whereabouts before entries close at 17:00hrs on Friday 22 September.

    Jodie Kidd said: “It’s been a lot of fun shooting in our secret setting this morning.

    “I don’t want to give the game away, but I will say it’s a truly iconic location.

    “I’ll be staying tuned to the live stream to see what other clues pop up throughout the next couple of days.

    To enter, head to comparethemarket.com where you can read the T&Cs and enter your guess.

    Well done Comping Rich, I agree. The two textured manhole covers match.

    See also buildings across the canal in this photo https://twitter.com/comparethemkt/status/910928445328248832

    The Great Dane in a 92-94 Manchester United Shirt probably refers to Peter Schmeichel. Can't work out what the trumpet is.

    Ronnie Hunt the cornet player, played the trumpet in the Coronation Street theme tune according to wiki.

    The moon has the characters M17 on it (or possibly W17) which I think refers to the postcode for the ITV studios M17 1AB. or the Street itself, M17 1AU.

    Any thoughts as to whether the location should be 'Coronation Street' or 'ITV studios'?
    The Street would be the obvious answer, fitting in the the trumpet clue, but the car isn't parked in the actual street.
  • From the competition blurb -

    “I don’t want to give the game away, but I will say it’s a truly iconic location."

    With the use of 'iconic' I'm going for Coronation Street.
  • Schmeichel was a great dane dog in CORONATION STREET.

    It's got to be Coronation Street...

    Coronation Street is sponsored by Compare the Market (Compare the Meerkat)
