YouTuber discovers a mystery car from decades ago that's hidden in his neighbor's hedge

This excited British YouTuber discovered a mystery car from decades ago that’s hidden in his neighbor’s hedge, and it was so buried, it’s actually become part of the hedge.

He had actually come to discover and film a different car, a rare Bristol 408 that had been hidden away in a garage for over 40 years, but was sidetracked by this discovery.

The 408 was certainly salvageable, and the YouTuber got it back up, and not just driving, but roaring after its decades of neglect – sadly, the hedge car seemed too far gone.

The car buried in the hedge had become part of nature, with its rusted-out out ancient pre-war shell actually growing into the hedge, like a scene from an apocalypse movie.

He went to see a discover a different car when he got sidetracked

Sometimes the discoveries we make along the way are even more exciting than the ones you actually set out to find, and in the case of this YouTuber who had headed off to see a rare car, this could not be truer.

Being informed that his neighbor had a rare car that had been neglected and rusting away in his garage for 40 years, the Late Brake Show headed over to check it out and see what they could do about it.

When they arrived, they found a Bristol 408, and although it was in rough condition, it still had its powerful Chrysler 5.2-liter V8 engine, and as a hand-built British GT, this was a truly rare find with very few left on the road.

This was not the only exciting discovery, though, because the British man was informed that there was, in fact, a surprise hidden in the hedge that he might want to take a look at.

Mystery car from decades ago in his neighbor’s hedge

There was a strange outline in the hedge by the garage where his neighbor’s car was, and upon further inspection, it revealed a scene that wouldn’t be out of place in an apocalypse movie.

In the hedge, he found a pre-war mystery car, which looked like a rusted-out Austin, but was so far gone, it was hard to tell.

The car had become part of the neighbor’s hedge at this point, with the hedge growing out of the rusted-out shell. Unlike the Bristol 408, this car was too far gone to have any hope of being saved.

Although there was nothing he could do about the potential Austin, the YouTuber said it was a stark reminder to always check your hedges, because you never know what’s lurking within.
