The person who garaged these cars had a cunning plan, just never got around to it. Just getting them in that shed would have been challenging enough. 👏
Wow - I know the owner he was a good friend of my father. I’ve been in that shed, he showed me around the cars when I was a kid. For those in the comments who think he “left them to rot”, they don’t seem to have deteriorated much in the past 30 years or so, so stop panicking 😂. These were acquired at a time when they were normal and not particularly valuable cars, they still exist because he held onto them. From what I remember my dad telling me the FHC was purchased with the accident damage after it had been rolled. He also built an E type and registered it in 1978, T reg if I remember correctly, which I imagine will be in part 2? Would be interested to know what happened to the owner, has he passed away
@@BoskiM Hi, unfortunately my dad passed away last year, this was his friend. Shame as dad would have liked to have seen this video. I remember dad telling me the building was relocated here from another location by the owner and he hoisted the cars into position, being quite good at that sort of thing. I can only assume the owner passed away. I can't tell you how much me and my brother talked about these cars growing up! Particularly the E-types. Good to see they are out.
Jaguar only made 775 RHD S2 Roadsters. So that is a rare find as it is believed only 200 remain. Most are LHD that went to the US. Those for sale now are mostly LHD to RHD conversions.
I can remember back in the day a red AC ace coming out of a side road in the village near me, young man driving. A couple of weeks later the same car was coming out of the same road with a girl passenger but this time the boot lid was up and sitting in it was a push mower, the long handles sticking up in the air. I bet he wouldn't consider using the car for that purpose today.
Great video! Thank you. An English version of Denis Collins Coffee Walk except the trucks and trailers are smaller! Maybe Guys Tea Walk! Johnny Smith would of loved this to be one of his Barn Finds! Looking forward to the Auction.
I remember driving through France in the 80's in a silver 1957 AC Ace in original condition with only 29k on the clock. It was fantastic. Got more wet when it rained with the hood up! Bet it's worth a fortune now
That Land Rover was a great find....30 years ago. I collect antiques. But I'm very careful to treat them with respect so they can outlive me and continue bringing joy and fascination to their future owners.
You must feel like a dog with 2 tails ! INCREDIBLE !! And you must be estatic to be entrusted with these most desirable motor cars ......although that series 2 FHC is a £7 to £10 k car ....tops ! For you , life doesn't bet any better ! Well done !
I think the AC Ace and Aceca are very cool cars that a lot of people over here don't know exists. I have never seen one in person. When we think AC we do think Cobra. Like the Sunbeam Although I do see Tigers and Alpines at car shows.
What a wonderful find, the owner will make a killing. Love the ACs in the late 1950s my neighbour had a Bristol engined one and I was allowed to drive it. That period AC cars were fantastic and yours don't look too bad, someone is going to be very pleased to buy them.
*What an incredible cache of cars, it's amazing what's still out there, I think established suburban settings are where most interesting cars are now hiding*
I was working as a jackeroo in New South Wales Australia and the farmers son drove a series 1 landrover up a steep hill firing on 3 cylinders to the top paddock to fix the fence. On the way down he said the brakes don't work, hold the stick in 4wd. Anyway it was screaming going downhill and he hit a big rock which sent the landrover flying and it jumped out of 4wd and went careering down the hill very fast and it was open top. Hsaid we got to roll it to stop as it was on a bend on the dirt track with a mud bank on the inside and a sheer drop down the other side. Well he went up the inside mud bank rolled at high speed it felt like over 70 mph we were thrown clear fortunately and the screen saved us being crushed between the sides and ground. I walked away with cuts, bruises, nothing broken and he was ok too. It's the hardest job I've ever done and worst paid but I enjoyed it immensely. They certainly made those series 1 LR solid.
I used to see Landrovers chugging about and think they were awful but now their simplicity and lack of electronic doodahs make them seem quite desirable!
The vehicles might be exquisite but they are rough barn finds; all need full restorations. Worth maybe 10% of the fully restored vehicle. Anybody expecting hundreds of thousands is a dreamer. That said, to a committed restorer or well-funded buyer; they all have potential
I really take issue, with these hoarders, who obviously know the value of these cars, but instead of preserving them, allow them to rot away, instead of selling them on to someone who was ready to restore them & put them back on the road.
@@gary5481 When the step-son was 14, i wanted to build a Triumph Spitfire with him. I restored a very complete Tr-6. Jeffrey had a large lot (8 times the size of this lot) filled with 20 or 30 spitfire tubs, frames and motors. I told him my plan, he wouldn't budge on anything. Today, he's about 70 (me60) and everything is still there in all 4 seasons. The kid is 24, has a family and no interest in restoring anything. I believe it is Mental!
@@rossilake218 Hoarding is a classified mental disorder. The state of the yard in the house, where these cars were rescued, shows that nothing was thrown away & besides the valuables, there was a lot of rubbish that is worthless.
Very much restorable😂😂😂😂. Open your wallet and show us how restorable they are. I think your story is nice but you never spent a dime restoring anything
AC Ace registered in 1957 according to DVLA. Who swapped the plates? Interestingly, last logbook was issued Jan 84. Someone must have been on the ball, as it would have lost its registration in 1983 if it had no modern V5 and was not taxed. I had to apply to get my 1960 Jag’s registration reissued, luckily still available at the time. What do you mean, my tongue’s hanging out seeing all those cars!😂

What happened to the owner? Is he deceased? Also how did he get all the cars up there? Thanks

Fantastic video again from ACA, really enjoyable to watch, amazing how they find all theses cars
Great show... real barn finds... Thanks...
Wow. Just wow. Stunning cars. Thank the world for eccentrics & hoarders!
I would be glued to the UA-cam channel restoring these beauties!

Mind Boggling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic job what a great team at ACA. What a collection 😮
Thank you, was a long but exceedingly exciting day for us!
Wow! What an excellent find and video. Thanks for sharing from Nova Scotia. Shout out to my folks in Brooke. Take care
Thank you for watching!

Stay tuned, there’s more to come!

Brilliant video guys, love to see these and would love to hear the back story… just one of them in a garage would be a story.. this is a revelation!
Thank you, certainly was a treat! We will see what we can ‘dig up’ to share with you.
Wow!
What a spectacular thing!

Back in the late 1960's one of my gliding instructors had an AC Ace Bristol. Absolutely wonderful car. he was an airline pilot at the time .
Not only did I enjoy the video but I got to see what a AC looks like before Shelby took over
Love the land rover a bit of t cut and elbow grease and it will be lovely 😂

What a fantastic find, unbelievable. AC Ace and Aceca are rear car finds these day's. Bob
but the restoration will be more expensive than the value! A paint job alone these days can cost 20,000 Euros !
*What an incredible cache of cars, it's amazing what's still out there, I think established suburban settings are where most interesting cars are now hiding*
Just send that AC Aceca to Jersey, New Jersey that is as I have a nice SBF 289 to stick in it
steering wheel is on the wrong side lol
Three cars high in that tiny little building
WOW!!!
I bet the engine for the car witout one may be some where in that shed or outside coved over in the garden by shed
Amazing. The semi looks quite standard suburban (maybe its a £1M house in London?), so amazing to see so many high value wrecks hidden in the garden!
you dont get a house these days in and near London under 10 Milliions!
What a find! ...😊👍
Brilliant
All apparently taken off the road circa 1984 judging by the DVLA database info. Curiously, they are listed as AC "electrics". Strange.
Wow, hidden away for all those years, what an amazing find.
Who would have thought that barn could cough up all those rare cars!!
When you said that you've got a teleporter, I thought you were gonna beam them up!
We are unable to confirm the wizardry that our extraction team used…
fantastic find that land rover but fancy having all that and letting it rot my heart bleeds especially for the land rover
I'll give you £6 plus a bunion plaster from Boots but that's my final offer for the lot.
Boots you say……

Plates will go for serious money
Does the county confiscate the cars and give them to auction for covering the demolition costs of the property?
I used to see Landrovers chugging about and think they were awful but now their simplicity and lack of electronic doodahs make them seem quite desirable!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice, now they only need about $100k each to restore them properly. Those things are rough.
Whoa!
Wow
Who would restore these E-Types bearing in mind the way prices have dropped for them recently?
OMG!!!!
So many cars must still be in garages and barns - they are likely to be interesting as if they are worn out moderns they just go to breakers.
What a mess!
👍👍
Whoever now owns that property are in for a nice payday
Probably deceased....

Exactly what i was thinking. All the pretty bits are trashed. Monocoques and frames may be restorable.
Hree cars high in that tiny little building
WOW!!!
It was exhilarating opening the door and seeing them!
I thought they might get a tongue lashing from Hyacinth Bucket when they were loading on the street!
Nice videos but have you heard of stereo sound down in Anglia? Your speech is in mono.
how did he lift them up......nuts
I'd assume that these kind of cars would be found on a wealthy large land owners estate rather than a small suburban estate !!
Seems odd !
Some find, its amazing wats lying about 😨
I hope for the nabors' sake, the rest of that yard gets cleaned up?
what happened to the sound in your auction premises??
hi I bought 5 special rare cars and let them rut in a shed..
70 PPE !!!!! Might be a buyer from those who filled their wellies in the last couple of years? Said a friend, allegedly!
I guess if some people were'nt horders many of these types of cars would be lost the the crushers
Where is part 2?
I'm only getting sound when you pull out the cars...not when you are talking.
Such a shame to allow these to deteriorate to these conditions.
I really take issue, with these hoarders, who obviously know the value of these cars, but instead of preserving them, allow them to rot away, instead of selling them on to someone who was ready to restore them & put them back on the road.
We have the same guys here in the States. Most take em to the grave with them.
@@rossilake218 I've seen that on Haggerty & Dennis Collins' channels. It's terrible to see such beautiful & valuable cars being left out to rot.

Wonder what other treasures are hiding in mountain of trash or gold mountain. .
Part two has just been published - check it out!
Lovely video, but the microphone is annoying, sorry to say.
I suppose anything can be repaired, but that Landie looks completely farcked to me.
Wie kann man nur die Autos so verwahrlosten lassen. Besser früher verkaufen 😮😮😮👎👎🇩🇪
