  • 100's of cars have been abandoned on this plot, from old classics to new cars. We also found excavators and cement mixers! Parts and cars scattered everywhere. This is an abandoned barnfind heaven and we may have just bought an old rusty Mazda.
    From Ford Sierra 4x4's to abandoned Porsches and all sat rotting on an old Farm.

      Well given scrap metal prices at the moment, it would pay the farmer to dispose of all the rubbish vehicles, and the tonnes of scrap metal lying about, it would probably make him a millionaire, and give him room to store the cars he wishes to keep inside in the dry

      Not to be overly harsh, but have you seen the backyard of YCR's shop? :)
      Nobody wants these cars because of the price they command and the work needed to restore them, we're talking anywhere from 5-30k just on the metal side of things (the bit that this channel does) depending what needs to be done.
      Just sourcing parts is a headache most people don't want to go through. Not to speak of getting the tools and get good with said tools (sheet metal shaping, welding, etc)
      From the looks of these cars, they were rotted already when he bought them.
      Sitting outside in countryside like this the only danger is sun cracking dashboards and fading the paint, fresh rain water doesn't rot them nearly as much or fast as you'd think.
      Rust develops on them a heck of a lot less than if they were in sheds in coastal cities or running on salted roads, the only better environment is hermetically sealed until restoration work starts.

      Yeah the MR2s that sit there are worth something / the Mazda Mark 1 and 2 are worth something / Ford Sierra cars / some Mini cooper but thats mostly parts value not old enough some of them. then he had a landrover worth more in parts probaly unless the body is good. I mean to say it blunt for serten cars he has there car lovers / fans for them. I sadly wont have the money to fix 1 up but even if i had i would need to inspect the living hell out of what i would buy because some of those cars been sitting on the grass and weeds + they sit near metal and have moisture on them when it rains. So yeah not always good to buy something sitting in a field for to long. I think the better qeustion is what can you stil safe from his collection?

    An older man I’ve known for years has a similar situation on his property. I used to think it was such a waste to have so many cool cars just rotting away. Seeing how he lights up when he gets to talking about them helped me understand his mindset. It’s really no different than any other collection, and if you enjoy it and it’s not hurting anyone, go for it.
    If he knows you or sees you need something he has, he’s more than willing to part with anything he has. He doesn’t advertise, but he does frequent different groups for cars he likes and offers help where he can.

    Impressive collection, I see a lot of angry people in the comments but anyone with experience can tell he got these things for dirt cheap, as most collectors do, and he's doing the right thing, selling when it pays off. Brave of him to go on camera too, not many in his field willing to do that in this day and age.
    There's something to be said for people more busy with appearing picture perfect and all that instead of getting the cars they want, then they get angry, well, it's an issue of their own making, they could forgo luxuries and get one of these cars and restore it, instead they blame this guy.

    Well folks after I’d stopped crying and pissing me pant with excitement I’ve made a list of the stuff I’ll buy
    You lads are great restorers of everything manky and do a superb job but I never thought for one minute I’d be watching a team of bloke who obviously have ball of kryptonite take on the remnants of what’s left of that Mazda but if anyone can do it it’s you lads great vids great work and a pleasure to watch thanks 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

    My late mums’s best friend bought in 1976, the same front end car. Did they do this model in a 4 door.
    As I don’t remember it being a 2 door, but I do remember the reg OFR2P. Ina lovely blue.

    I remember having a look at a rx3 coupe when i was in the uk around 2000?... around the sherwood forest area ... couldn't believe the rust..im from New Zealand... we were still driving them around the roads over here...

    this makes me feel sad to see an Rx3 coupe in so bad condition, always wanted one but never could get my hands on a coupe. Having both my 1974 Rx4 coupe and my S1 1970 Rx2 coupe at home is something I cherish.

    people like him are the reason cars become rarer than they need to be, nearly all the cars here are worth thousands,could sell them,part them out or even fix/restore them, but leaves them to rot instead and will later complain why nobody wants to buy them later when they are too far gone...
    im glad you're giving that mazda a chance, extremely brave! 😂
