- čas přidán 3. 12. 2021
- This was one of those places where you question yourself how is this even possible?... x2 Audi Coupe’s, x3 VW Campers, a super rare Auto Union 1000, Manta GTE and many more all left at the same place just rotting away... now obviously something terrible happened here, sadly I can’t tell you exactly as requested by the current owner but you can clearly see there was a huge fire. He is now in his 80’s and is a massive car enthusiast! He showed me some of his old collection from around 30 years ago and I can honestly say I’ve never met anyone who has had such an incredible collection of very strange, unusual & very rare cars! Sadly none of the cars are for sale and as always the location will Not be shared with anyone. Hope you enjoy the video guys, see you again next week 🙂

The grey Audi was last taxed in 1992 - manufactured in 1984 👍 what a fantastic place - great video, thank you 🙌🏻
Great video, and the spider in the Auto Union looks to be a Misumena Vatia, the common crab spider 👍🏻👍🏻
Phwoar! The Manta, Alfa and 2 Audi’s were the standout cars for me. Can’t believe they are just sitting there.
Tell Scotto from Hoonigan about those Audi’s and he’ll move heaven and earth to get them out I bet 😂.
The extra keyhole in the MG was an early alarm, the key armed and disarmed the alarm, l had one on my 1970 Triumph Vitesse.
I had one in the early 70s on my 1275 GT Mini Clubman , 1969 model, put there by previous owner at the back of the car. It operated a sort of oscillating arm located in the boot.
This video is v poignant for me, I have just sent my 1995 MGF...a goodish runner till its fail....for scrap because of subframe rot, despite outwardly looking quite good! 'Midships' engine, as these MR2s are described here.....
There is a circa
1996 N reg wreck here somewhere early in the vid, my MGF was N175AOL......😭😭😭😭😭
A now deceased Jamaican magician, the great Bunny Neill, lived in the mews flat behind our first married home, in Didsbury, Manchester, when I had the 1275GT, and he had a yellow Opel Manta.
Very rare cars here. Sad to see them just rotting here especially that Manta and the Auto Union 1000. All these cars are worth money when restored. Great video as always 👍.
When are we going to see a upload on the BMW 7 series you rescued ??? Looking forward to that great video by the way keep up the good work
The soft top in the garage is a Dkw with the 3 cylinder 2 stroke engine so too is the Auto Union .
This was an amazing explore. The burned out vehicles were way creepy looking. That fire must have been hellish hot. I love the interaction with Stu. Great vid.
Amazing find and great vid! The third car in the garage looks like it is a Ford Thunderbird ;)
Amazed that you keep finding these places, well done.
Hell yes, the old intro music is back, you and Stokze hold a special place in my heart!!
Thanks brother!
All those front ends and accident damaged cars. Looks like an old cut and shut rackets been going on there. Great video as per Colin.
What a shame. Nice cars. That house is gone. Wonder what happened there. Poor old cars just rotting away here. Wonder why nobody did anything. Thanks for the overgrown and burnt explore and stay safe.
" oh " wow big thanks for sharing this video you do get too go to some interesting place's and see some cool cars l👀king forward to the next vid catch you on the next one stay safe my friend 😀
So cool to see all these old cars. Hopefully some of them can be saved. That Audi GT has been untaxed since 1993.
Absolutely legend of a video brother, This was an awesome explore as always, can't wait for the next one!!!
The next one will blow everyone away!.... can’t wait 😉
@@TheBeardedExplorer if you put bbs gti in the video title you will triple your views
One of your best finds yet, such an interesting place well done guys 👌
Can't believe places like this they make me cry inside 😭 thanks for the great videos bud
Another great 👍 explore shame the cars have been left to rot take care my friend ❤ xx
How ya Colin
As always another fantastic video - very sad to see all the cars just left to rot & with the house burnt out - a person or family lost there lives R.I.P
Lookin forward to your next vid - keep up the good work my friend
Amazing place, thank you for this awesome video 👍💖
What a heartwrenching vocation Colin. To see all these classics, just left to the elements, and a certain death. The Escort "xr3i" seems to have been a family diesel, by the way
Yeah I thought that as Ford never made an XR3 in a 5 door! 🤣
Definitely not an XR3i but what a lovely hoard of classics
Hi, been watching your videos for a while now, great videos pal. Just subscribed as well. That long green box underneath the car, that is a torque wrench, we used them on ship diesel engines. 👍 O, yes, i would not trust them spiders..😬😬
Collin you have become my favorite explorer, the only one I look forward to new videos.
Awesome explore fellas great old cars sadly some too far gone but some rareities there 🤘
Another incredible find and video
How can so many cars and vans be left abandoned like that ? Again would love to know the history behind this place fascinating
That small cabrio in 13:00 seems to be Auto Union 1000 SP - the same mechanic as 1000 S but with "americanized" design and even more rare than 1000 S.
27:58 wheel is from Lancia HPE or Beta Coupe which is probably under the bush, also rare cars.
Very good video, you bring a lot of emotion in every video and I like that. Also very rare cars. I like abandoned places with no graphiti all around.
Great explor Colin some lovely old cars,shame the way they are rotting away
This is Amaizing! Keep up the good work!
I applaud you for the the great pain you go through to bring this video to us, thanks guys 😉😉
Fantastic Video. Some cars from my dreams again. I wish I knew how to find these places.
Hello Colin,
The rare dkw auto union roadster1000SP ,the1000S and this immaculate mg MGB GT escaped the flames of hell.
Let's hope someone can get them
out of this shelter where they are
before it collapses...
Congratulations on the successful guided tour of this site. I wish that the coming year
2022 provides you with many
journeys on the roads of memory.
What a car manta gte and the audi.s I have owned 2 manta gte.s an 1 Audi qr replica great work lads keep it up loving it
Thanks for an amazing video of a rare, strange that their are so many abandoned cars everywhere ✌️✌️✌️
That poor Merc, crushed under all those parts. A really interesting place. Shame that fire destroyed the house.
Shat myself when u touched that jaggy nettle 😂
This breaks my heart seeing all these cars just left to rot😢 also the escort is a diesel👍
Great shame about the house, it must have been a nice place in its day. Sad to see the cars are also going to be left to rot as well.
Nice explore as always T. B. E 👍🏻
How sad they just rotting - great explore 🌹
Wow all those beautiful classic cars rotting away they would be worth a lot of money so sad that there was a fire. Thank you
Great video.. new subsceiber.. Tahoma California
Its a real shame that they just rotting there specially the calibra and audis and the manta gte the fire damaged ones just scrap
great find guys
Auto Union was a group of four companies, (hence the four joined rings) before becoming AUDI.
Escort is a 1.6D, registered 31 March 1988 and last taxed in 1996.
That red Audi registered in 1983 was a Coupe, not a Quattro. The Coupe was made as a cheaper version of the Quattro, without its turbo or permanent 4WD. Although quattro was later added as an option to the Coupe.
RKN 16R is on the DVLA database as "Volkswagen Delivery Van"!
The Alfa is a 75, registered 1991.
I'd also hazard a guess that the calibra was a special edition model called the, DTM due to the white multi spoke alloys.
Wow ! These cars must be worth a fortune… such a shame they are left to rot … 😢😢
Brilliant explore guys manta gte wow
Those 2 audi coupes like 86 or 87 are so worth saving. Full ur quattro tribute cars would be a proper way to honor them . ACES video gents
Great video as always. It's so sad to see these old wrecks just returning to mother earth. I'm convinced that, as EV's take over, the value of the old cars is going to rocket. Anyone up for renting a massive unit and rescuing them all? We'll be rolling in cash in 20 years time!!!!
Another amazing video you guys work well together 👌
Nice exploring! Such a shame🔥🔥 So apocalyptic.
It’s sad that these old burned out old cars have met such a bad end. The VW splitty under the tarpaulin would be worth a lot of money in restored condition. It deserves to be saved.The Auto Union 1000 is a very rare and beautiful car. It also deserves to be saved and restored. It deserves far better than being left abandoned in a garage. What great finds, and a great video guys.
Not a splitty
The MG with 2 locks: the second is an early alarm.
Those half cars: cut 'n' shut operation?
Amazing found. Great vídeo
Wow what a place . I had a Audi GT coupe a long time ago.
It's Lauren's Birthday today and she wanted to wait to watch your new episode ton her Birthday, and was even more excited as it was cars 🚗 🙃 😄 🥰
Awww wish her happy birthday for me! 🎂 🎁 🎉 🥳
@@TheBeardedExplorer just showed her your message she is buzzing even more fella🤙
Don't know for certain but unrecognizable one going by alloy possibly a lancia beta. Great work to find these places.
You guy's are like kids in a candy shop. Love it all
Greetings from Brazil, enthusiasts! You know, what makes me indignant is that this gentleman claims to be a great automotive enthusiast, but he prefers to let the cars that still have salvation rot! It's crying to see so many rarities being corroded by time! Then the owner dies, and the first thing the family does is sell everything for scrap.
Awesome . Still sad to see those wracks ...
Top job as always guys
Amazing video mate
Those spiders maybe white crab spiders , very cool Colin 👍🙂
Awesome video!!!
Great video mate
I just read the description. How crazy is it that this old guy does not want to sell these cars but will let them just rot as they are and allow everything to just grow on top of them. So sad!
I will never understand people with that mentality. If he’d had any sense after the fire, he would have saved the cars that escaped the fire and scrapped the rest instead of leaving perfectly good cars to rot and get smothered by brambles and weeds. Even all those tools would of been worth loads.
What an idiot!
The MGB with what looked like it has two locks. Back in the Day a lot of car alarms had a key to turn them on & off. The Auto Union 1000 was a 3 cylinder Two stroke engine the same engine that was in the Rally winning Saab 96 from 1962. Happy Days.
The convertible un the garage is a Peugeot 403 Grande luxe cabriolet as driven by Columbo in the tv series
That one didn't have thins though...
Someone else suggested it was a Lloyd Arabella, a West German car that went bankrupt...
Love the cars you guys have over in Europe.
Kinda sad they glossed over the 2CV, its a bamboo green special spec kinda thing only 80-90 registered on uk roads, very rare find
Great video, new subscriber here. I believe the other car in the garage is an Auto Union SP Coupe. They look like a mini version of a Ford Thunderbird. It would make sense that he already had the 1000 sedan. They did sell those in UK, AUS and NZ, so not unusual that it was right hand drive, however the SP coupe is much rarer so LHD.
I think that might shed some light. Don
FYI the tool in the long green box looks like the biggest torque wrench I've ever seen.
That torque wrench is a 3/4 drive torque wrench primarily used on large vehicles, trucks and busses
Yep
I love your channel u have "AWESOME " videos . I love you guys and have fun and be safe
The Autounion 1000 is like my dad's old one with the same vertical Speedo.
crikey guys you 2 do some great videos. top stuff mates
Another great video.
The Auto Union 1000 S Coupé in the garage certainly looked like it could be saved, maybe the two others in the garage as well (we didn't really see much of them) The Rover looked reasonable too, despite of the slight heat damage, The bottom part of the VW T1 looked pretty rotten, but having been covered, the upper parts may be ok? Possible one or two others that could turn out to be in better condition than expected.
For certain, there are a lot of really rare spare parts that could be salvaged, especially all the stuff in the garage.
It should be possible to learn the history of the place and also who is currently listed owner. It seems to have been an extremely massive fire, so there must have been news reports made at the time. Contacting the local heritage foundation would be a good place to start.
To me it seems to have been the home of a car hoarder, hoping to "one day" be able to restore the cars - the typical way, that hoarders often do: collect a lot of damaged and broken cars, one after another, but never get around to actually fixing them, so they just pile up, creating a big junkyard of broken dreams.
The fire may well have been fatal, and if the owner had no family or just lived like a hermit, nobody has ever bothered to do a cleanup, thinking everything was just "old junk"
Who would inherit the place if there were no next of kin? The state? The county? A bank? Wouldn't it be in the best interest of everybody, if this place was finally cleaned up? So it may be possible to make some sort of deal with whoever is in charge.
My friends parents live just along the road from this place, apparently it was an arson attack on one of the cars at the front of the house that then spread. The occupant of the house still lives nearby.
@@jeffdowrick1738 are your parents in contact with the owner as I would be interested in possibly buying one of the vehicles if possible
@@paullawrence-wyatt7960 It’s my friends parents, I don’t think they are in contact with the previous occupier. They just knew at the time that the occupier was ok.
Amazing find.
Hello! I'm sure more astute viewers have pointed out the gold looking car with the little fins, I believe, is a sunbeam. Maybe a tiger, but not sure. If so, at least here in the States worth a bit.
Nice vid, great guys and very knowledgeable! New sub and a very well earned like.
30 years ago I was driving around in an extremely rare Davrian mk5 1973. I paid 150 quid for it .Prices these days are insane ! Sadly my ex wife got pregnant with our 2nd child and I had to sell it because we couldn't get 2 kids in it.
I love this intro it reminds me of a ps1 startup
Hey buddy in the 80 zanusi delivery was an organisation that delivered on your drive an engine and box if needed, I heard on your drive front ends and interiors they were busted of course, Keep em coming glad there wasn’t shorts 🩳 on today 🤣
I'm currently restoring an Audi Coupe GT, also an A reg. Last on the road in 1996 so about the same time as the ones in the video!
The Audi was the best find great vid 👍🏻
That cabriolet in the shed is also a DKW, a 1000 spider. It looks a lot like a 1955 Thunderbird
@@edwinthompson6510 the Taunus was never offered in an open version. I'm pretty sure it's a DKW 1000 SP Spider. Google some pictures and you'll see it
@@fhwolthuis Yes, it is indeed an Auto Union 1000 SP Spider/Roadster.
1.640 units made
The Auto Union 1000SP in the shed, restored is probably worth 50,000 pound.
Auto Union 1000 SP - very rare and expencive car nowdays
i had 2 of the audi gt coupe cars .. like the advertisement at the time it's a 5 cylinder ... cause 4 is too few and 6 is too many. it was a great car
Doubt many of the cars are worth recovering, but the house and land would be well worth buying, if anywhere in the South of England. Big plot, no traffic noise, existing planning for a dwelling!
What a great find. No idea what the convertible in the garage is but the Merc is a W116 S class. I think all the Audi coupes you find are standard(ish) coupes. The real money makers are the turbocharged ones, easily identifiable by wide boxed wheel arches. Only ever seen a couple of short-wheel based originals and they are super rare, even wider arches and they only built 214.
27.57 is some sort of Lancia.
I mean a rare and exciting place, go on with your excellent search for cars!!
From the quick glimpse you gave the tool in the green tin could be a torque wrench
love it lads
Auto union was before Audi I think , what a place great find guys some right gems especially the Audi coupes
Nope. Auto Union was the union of 4 german car brands: Audi, Horch, DKW and Wanderer. So the Audi brand existed before Auto Union did. The 80's models were still Auto Unions, but the badges already said "Audi"
Auto Union is what we know as AUDI today and nice to see an Original pre AUDI car
The xr3i escort coming back as a 1.6 diesel
That is one cool video.
You need to take a battery powered hedge trimmer on explores like that one. Trim a pathway as you go.
These car finds are forever breaking my heart😂
Maybe the cavalier bumper and skirt was off a cavalier calibra body kit?
Its midship runabout.interesting upload.
Damn was the house blown up. Who would leave all those cars like that.
The red Audi Coupe GT is a 1987(or there abouts). In the late 1980's I was an apprentice auto mechanic at Moore Motors VW/Porsche/Audi dealership in Philadelphia, PA. A customer ordered a red Audi GT and I got a ride to the port in Delaware to pick it up. I forgot a dealer tag but still drove the car back to the dealership in Philadelphia on route 95 doing 110mph at one point. The car was an automatic and had the 5 cylinder engine. The car in your video looks very similar. A coworker mechanic at the dealership owned a Audi Quattro Coupe but with the long wheelbase. The short wheel base vehicles are VERY rare. I wonder what could be done to save these vehicles in your video. Will you look into it? By the way I am a VW nut.
The gold - brown car near the MG is a Auto Union 1000 SP , very rare and expensive two Seat Roadster
Red (cavalier) front spoiler and rear bumper are from the opel manta 83 to 88. Same platform as mk1 cavalier, great searching really enjoy your videos, what do you do with your photos, you always mention?
DKW. 2 stroke. That's quite a find.
