A Ferrari Enzo sliding through a muddy field in England is getting fresh attention more than a decade after the wild stunt first appeared online. The rare supercar was driven like a rally car, sending dirt flying as it raced past farm buildings.

The footage came from TaxTheRich100, a mystery YouTube crew known for doing things most supercar owners would never dream of. Their videos featured some of the world’s most valuable cars being pushed hard on dirt roads and around farmyards.

Among the stunts were two Ferrari F50s playing tug-of-war and a Rolls-Royce Phantom drifting across wet grass. The videos drew millions of views, but the people behind the cameras kept their names hidden.

Now, an October 2026 video from Speed Cartel is revisiting the mystery. The new documentary examines how car fans traced the filming location to a wealthy family’s estate, even as questions remained about who was driving.

Cars Gone Wild

The original videos began drawing attention in late 2012. Instead of keeping expensive cars spotless, the crew took them onto muddy fields and gravel roads.

One video showed the Ferrari Enzo sliding around farm buildings. Another featured a red and yellow Ferrari F50 pulling against another in a courtyard, their engines screaming.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom also got a rough ride. Its driver sent the luxury sedan sideways across the grounds of a large country estate.

Those stunts soon raised an obvious question. Who had access to so many rare cars, and where were the videos being filmed?

Following The Clues

In December 2012, Jalopnik explored a possible link to British property businessman Jon Hunt and his son Harry, a successful rally driver.

The theory focused partly on the Rolls-Royce. Earlier reporting had linked the car to a press loan and suggested Jon Hunt had access to it before the video was filmed.

But the crew disputed the connection. In an email published by Jalopnik, a representative denied that the people named in the article were involved.

The mystery took another turn in October 2013. Automotive blogger Matt Hubbard, writing for Speedmonkey, compared scenes from three videos with Google Earth images.

He matched the estate gates, farm buildings, and a distinct pattern in the courtyard’s cobblestones. The locations pointed to Heveningham Hall in Suffolk, England, an estate owned by Jon Hunt.

Still A Mystery

Finding the estate did not settle who was behind the wheel. The property matched the footage, but those clues alone could not identify a driver.

In 2014, Top Gear met the TaxTheRich crew while they filmed a Ferrari F40. The magazine agreed to keep their identities secret.

According to that firsthand account, the operation involved a cameraman and a driver who was not a professional racer. The crew also explained that most of the cars were borrowed from a trusted associate.

Top Gear reported that the driver and cameraman had known each other since school. They preferred to keep the focus on the cars rather than become famous themselves.

The crew also claimed they had never damaged a car during filming, despite the hard driving. Even the two F50s survived their tug-of-war without clutch damage, according to their account.
