    A Vauxhall Victor 101 resurfaces after 36 years under mud.

    The Vauxhall Victor 101 was lost in the mudflats of Brean Beach, Somerset, in 1973.
    Beach wardens Dave Furber and Pete Williams discovered the car, owned by fishermen Terry Hart, half-a-mile from the shore.
    Mr Hart said: ''I'm convinced it's my car which I lost in 1973. We were out fishing and the tide caught us. We tried to reverse the car out but the clutch went and it was goodbye car. It's so nice to see it back.''
    Beach wardens have been recovering rusted parts of the car all week.
    Warden Dave Fuber said: "Now the mud's just moved because of the storms whipping the mud around, the car's shown its face once again.
    "It's quite easy to recognise. You can see the front of it, where the engine is, the back, the wheels etc and we found out it's a Vauxhall Victor 101."
    Mr Furber said: ''We first noticed the vehicle at the weekend and several other parts have emerged nearby during recent days, including a steering wheel and door panels.''
    It is thought that the heavily corroded remains of the vehicle have probably been uncovered due to recent rough weather and choppy waters.
    Theres a short video here too..
