A remote British farm hides long-abandoned Hillman Imp, Austin A30, and VW Beetle, slowly being reclaimed by nature.
Deep in the British countryside, a long-forgotten farm has revealed a remarkable trio of classic vehicles hidden beneath decades of overgrowth and decay. Captured on camera by urban explorer “Exploring With Boss,” the site appears untouched since the late 20th century and is home to a Hillman Imp, an Austin A30, and a Volkswagen Beetle.
The first vehicle spotted is a green Hillman Imp, partially protected under a barn’s collapsed roof. A product of the Rootes Group, the Imp was the first British mass-production car with an aluminum engine block and head. Launched in 1963, it struggled with early reliability issues but remained in production until 1976. Around 440,000 units were built, and while not highly collectible today, surviving examples in solid condition are increasingly rare.
Next is what appears to be an Austin A30, nearly indistinguishable beneath thick brush. Produced from 1951 to 1956, the A30 was Austin’s answer to the Morris Minor. Powered by a modest 803cc inline-four, it offered frugal motoring for postwar Britain. Fewer than a quarter-million were made, and rust claimed many of them decades ago.
Finally, partially obscured in the dense foliage, a Volkswagen Beetle can be seen — the world’s most produced car of the 20th century. Though details are scarce due to its position, the rounded fenders and sloping roofline are unmistakable.
The vehicles’ exact location has not been disclosed, likely to protect them from looters or vandalism. Yet without intervention, the odds of their survival are slim.
“These cars are history, frozen in time,” the host says in the video. “It’s a shame they’ll probably never move again.”
Their fate, like that of many rural relics, remains uncertain — slowly surrendered to rust and roots.
