The latest sighting of the updated Hyundai Tucson during its development shows the SUV towing a trailer on a winding road. We anticipate its release in South Korea first, with a premiere in the US expected to take place early next year.
The Hyundai engineering team has covered the Tucson with a combination of camouflage wrap and black fabric, concealing blocky sections underneath. Furthermore, a large panel on the hatchback obscures the appearance of the rear of the vehicle.
Friends, get ready for some exciting news. While we’ve come across our fair share of barn finds, this one is truly exceptional. Recently posted on the Classic Car Rescue YouTube channel, we have stumbled upon a collection of cars, possibly worth millions, gathering dust in an old warehouse. Two cars alone in this vast collection could easily fetch over $1 million. Let’s dive into the details.
Before we proceed, let’s clear something up – this isn’t technically a barn. The term “barn find” has evolved to encompass any discovery of abandoned or forgotten cars, and in this case, it includes a collection of over 200 cars stored in an old warehouse. The video refers to it as an old museum, but regardless of the classification, this is home to an impressive array of classic automobiles.
Let’s begin with the highlights. The video starts by showcasing classic American muscle in the form of two first-generation Camaros with a red Shelby Mustang, potentially a 1969 GT500, parked in between. Throughout the nine-minute video, we catch glimpses of numerous Mustangs, including a rare 1968 Shelby GT500KR convertible. If it’s an authentic model, rather than a clone or replica, it holds significant value as one of just 518 ever produced. A recently sold red 1968 KR fetched $205,000 at Barrett-Jackson.
But that’s just scratching the surface. The video takes us on a tour of numerous American classics from the 1950s and 1960s, including a fleet of big-fin-era Cadillacs. Additionally, there are several sedans and coupes from the 1920s and 1930s, and the collection isn’t limited to American cars alone. The video also features glimpses of a classic Rolls-Royce and a Volvo P1800. For those seeking a more modern touch, there’s a partially covered Mercedes G-Class and even a Dodge Dakota convertible pickup truck from the late 1980s.
Now, let’s talk about the Auburns. Yes, you read that right!
Believe it or not, there might be a pair of Auburn Boattail Speedsters tucked away in a corner of the warehouse, right next to the Camaros we mentioned earlier. Although we can’t say for sure without a closer look, these cars are extremely rare and valuable. It’s worth noting that replicas of these cars do exist. Unfortunately, the video footage doesn’t provide enough detail, and we don’t get to examine them closely. However, the light blue model bears similarities to a supercharged Boattail. To put things into perspective, a 1935 851 SC Speedster was sold at auction earlier this year for $747,500, highlighting the significance of finding one hidden away in an old warehouse.
The video doesn’t provide any information about the history of these cars, their owner, or the location of the warehouse. Given the valuables inside, it’s best to keep the location a secret. Hopefully, someone will step in soon to revive these timeless classics.

Exclusive research by Citroën UK reveals that nearly 75% of UK drivers believe that the condition of the country’s roads poses a danger to motorists and other road users.
According to Citroën UK’s latest survey, 75% of respondents reported that their cars had sustained damage from potholes, requiring vehicle repairs. However, drivers lack knowledge on how to seek support after experiencing pothole damage, as 42% of those affected stated that they were unaware of the possibility of claiming compensation from the relevant local authority. Only 14% of those surveyed said they had previously claimed compensation from their local authority.
This recent research follows Citroën’s findings in May, which revealed that the total cost of compensation claims paid out last year due to pothole damage amounted to £22.7 million, equivalent to the average cost of filling 340,000 potholes.
Citroën UK compared figures from the Asphalt Industry Alliance over the past six years and discovered that £139.9 million had been spent on damage compensation since 2017. This amount could have filled an additional 2.3 million potholes**.
In the new study, Citroën asked drivers about their perception of the condition of UK roads over the past six years. Notably, 68% of respondents felt that the roads in the UK had worsened, while only 15% believed that the condition had improved since 2017. Almost half of all drivers (46%) stated that they avoid certain roads entirely due to the fear and risk of damage.
The East Midlands was identified as the region where drivers expressed the most concern about road conditions, with 56% of respondents stating that the roads in their area had deteriorated. In contrast, only 18% of drivers in London reported a decline in road conditions in their local area.
Greg Taylor, Managing Director of Citroën UK, commented, “The people of the UK are clearly concerned about the state of our roads. The Citroën Advanced Comfort Programme helps alleviate the discomfort of driving on damaged road surfaces and reduces the impact of hitting potholes for drivers. However, it is evident that more work needs to be done to improve road conditions nationwide and restore public confidence.”
Many Citroën models, such as the New C5 X, benefit from the Advanced Comfort® Programme, which includes enhanced suspension and supportive seating for a smoother ride. All versions of the New C5 X feature Citroën’s Progressive Hydraulic Cushion® technology, which incorporates hydraulic bump stops into the suspension system to better control compression and rebound on damaged surfaces.
The New C5 X also comes with Advanced Comfort® seats as standard, which feature broad cushions and seat backs. These seats combine high-density foam at the core and a 15mm thick layer of extra textured foam on the surface to provide comfort and relaxation for occupants traveling on the challenging road network in Britain.
Episode 44 of the Autocar motoring podcast My Week In Cars features discussions by our experts Steve Cropley and Matt Prior on reviews of the Rolls-Royce Spectre, Lotus Eletre, and Prodrive P25. Cropley also explores hydrogen vehicles with Riversimple and BMW. The podcast includes listener correspondence and much more.
