Was reading about this on 28 days later. Apparently the mini is parked pretty much smack bang where the tunnel fell in. Shame really.


It can be fixed :) Seriously if no ones having it I'll email DVLA for them and then someone can have it for grabs?

where is this meant to be? saying 'the liverpool tunnel' is a bit vague.

It is at Roscoe's garage not sure exactly but the entrance is used as a garage! Apparently they has a collapse 2 months ago near the mini so it could be history now they are going to put a wall up to block it off so they will soon be lost forever!


cheers, it's roscoe engineering, they use one of the old underground stations. twisty slope to get into it, they used to have some serious rally cars in there years ago.

could well of been a car in storage, although it's damp down there so looking at the pics i doubt the mini was there for long?

not heard about the collapse though, will have to stick my head in.

Seeing as its been kept it a nice damn moist tunnel for a good few years they could probably Hoover it up!! Looks ok from a distance, but I bet you anything that car is horiffically rusty!

Rip out the 1275 motor and run!

It was last on the road in 1992 so i think it may have been down there since then most have been there a lot longer and look in amazing condition.

might look ok but trust me it's damp down there. i asked them about storage years ago and they said they don't like leaving stuff in there for long as the damp gets to it.

for the size of the place they could store loads of cars but only had a handful there.

Hence the VW T5 Transporter?

So what is this place, Roscoe engineering use the entrance to the tunnel as a garage and then through the back of their shop the tunnel continues and theres all these cars down there?
