The Austin 3 Litre's UNTOLD History - BMCs BIGGEST FAILURE GOES RACING!

Описание: In this video we cover one of the most mysterious topics, where did all all the Austin 3 Litres go and show how cars can go extinct and vanish from the roads, we also look at it's unknown history in racing and how the 3 litre failed BMC and later British Leyland to later prove itself in an unlikely sport.

The 3 Litre isn't a bad car, it proved itself against all odds to be a mainstay of British cars, we cover long forgotten stories from Cowley and analyse the anatomy of what some have called a failure of one of Austin's most misunderstood and genius cars.

Just a note; not all was bad with British leyland and the British car industry isn’t dead it is very much alive. Regarding MG Rover and the many other eras I covered as much as I could in the small recap but longer videos will be produced covering these eras.
