In this video we REVEAL THE IDENTITIES OF some of the most incredible and mysterious British Leyland and BMC prototypes ever made but with a twist, these cars were stored in the Longbridge tunnels and after a disaster in the late 70s these cars were destroyed.

With the help of the workers at the time from Austin, BMC and British Leyland we uncover these incredible lost cars

We also explore the Longbridge tunnel Minis and the greatest barnfind this country and maybe even the world has ever seen.

PLEASE NOTE: This site is an active construction site with the tunnels in a dangerous state. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO “EXPLORE” OR INFILTRATE THE COMPLEX IT IS NOT SAFE.

The thumbnail photo is not of the tunnels as there are no suitable images that exist.

I have credited where possible these works are transformative.
