I don't understand how these places are left for years even decades, what happened to the utilities they break in to get money and where's the courts for non payment of business rates.
I like you & your content dude but don’t lie on the title it’s just comes across as sleezy we all know this place has been talked about plenty of times in the past & recently so don’t act like you were the first to find it 👌🏼
It's such a shame. All those beautiful cars. I think this was the era when Peugeots had their best design. I especially loved the 405 and the 605. Timeless. Future classics.
Time clue: The green Mazda at 13:57, it has the later format number plate that changed in April 2012. The only car with that. Doesnt mean it was new then, but if it changed ownership it would have been issued with a new number, so I would guess the place closed around 2012/13.
Ignore the private property sign just go ahead and trespass? One more entitled UA-camr who things he is allowed to do anything he wants when holding a camera Should be arrested
It’s a shame to see a place like this abandoned and especially those cars. I wonder if there are any abandoned dealerships in the Uk, now that would be very interesting. Great video.
They were moved into position years ago as a memorial for the deceased owner by his wife. Apparently she is now going into a home and the place will soon be cleared out.
Wow Colin this was breathtaking! You found some real sweet cars in this one. Some pretty rare stuff as well. Love that 405 especially. Can't wait for the next video.
I’m lucky enough to own a beautiful 1994 Peugeot 306, I’ve had loads of work done to it; welding, engine overhaul, repainting, undersealing, waxoyling etc etc. She’s only a 1.4 XL 5dr spec 306, but I absolutely love her to bits. So to see this is incredible! All those brand new wheel trims in that room, they’d be worth a small fortune in just one of them. I’ve seen them go for £20 each! That 605 was gorgeous and that grey 405 was other worldly cool!
Limoges? Or at least somewhere in Haute Vienne (87) given the number of 87 vehicles. We have a house to the NE in 16 (Charente). Our village has an old Renault garage full of old cars and parts rotting away. As a Renault lover, it’s crîminal. Old aged owner didn’t want to part with the stock.
If you’ve not been already, I think you really enjoy visiting the sparkford motor museum in Somerset. Maybe next time you’re down this way? I really enjoy your videos, thank you 😊
OMG this is heaven for someone like me that loves Peugeots from 70s, 80s and 90s. Well, heaven or hell, depending on the way we look at it. Love the blue 305 GT.
I'm not a fan of Peugeot, never owned one but this place was fantastic!!! Plus I just love hearing your joy and happy enthusiasm at each amazing find. What a terrific place ❤❤
Nice to see something from our side of channel in France with the MK1 Micra, I've had 4 or 5 french cars over the years infact still have 1 an 13 plate DS3 and all have been decent cars .Shows you how hold the Garage unit was Peugeot/Citroen killed off Talbot in 94-95ish and started building the Peugeot 206 in the ex Talbot Coventry and Paris plants. Presumably Stellantis still own the name Marque.
14:17 my grandpa brought a brand new Fiat Palio Weekend in 1998 in Poland and it was a Red 1.4 and he told me in 2019 that it will be mine when I pass my driving test but he sadly passed in March 2022 and grandma scrapped it, (i passed my test in december 2023 in UK) it had 77k km (47k miles) and nothing wrong with it she just didn't want it and didn't want to wait for me to bring it to England 😢
As we didnt see any I think this closed before the 406 was launched in the mid 90`s. spotted @ 16:49 leaning against the wall is the rear engine cover in yellow primer for a renault 4cv
There is a very good reason why those cars went unsold... they couldn't reliable bring you from point A to point B everytime you tried to start the car or it died on the road.
Yeah nice find but its low end french crap no GTI,S or mi16 models just litter scrap value only nothing special here 100%set fire to the gaff weigh in all metal left over then build flats thats wats gunna happen dude i know u like french cars sorry i just dont get it keep em coming m8
I live very close to it and a store in the area bought this place, some of this cars already moved, I'm afraid they will destroyed them, the building will be destroyed soon t creat a new on due to the location witch is interesting, very close to the motorway exit. For the story the owner was retired and his child fight for the heritage until now. The shop closed almost 15 years ago, remember when it was open when I was a kid.
I wish you spent more time filming each car and filming what parts are still sitting around on those shelves. Most of this video was filming through the windows and too many ad breaks. Dissatisfied
Colin, great video as usual. We are long term subscribers, but the amount of adverts is making your content really hard to watch. I too am a creator (motovlogger), and take the time to delete most of the adverts to improve the viewing experience. Cheers
People saying trespassing is illegal I understand but he is not stealing a thing instead showing the govt that there are certain places that are still valuable it only needs a simple touch and people will come to see all these vintage cars many kids this generation have never seen such cars that were driven by their great grand Parents let’s not be Karens but appreciate his work Thank u
If someone who.likes classic car and buys the site they would make some money if they can sell all the cars and parts and then the site or start thier own classic car business would be win for them.
What are the laws concerning trespass and illegal entry in France. You say all these people driving past not knowing what's inside. Well now they do and all they have to do is come along and gain unlawful access like yourself and help themselves. What gives you the right to trespass on other peoples property and post the details on the internet.
Other peoples property? Nobody has been there for over 10 years. I doubt they care much. If anything he’s giving it some publicity which might save some of the cars.
Hi coling. There was als abandon Ford dealer somewhere in Belgium and the cars in side looking brand new waiting for service.lather al cars have gravity More lather al Windows ar smashed All cars are... smashed it broke my hart. So i hopen coling that nothing happend here afther months I have drive Peugeot 104 model ford fiesta...and it's give me lot of memories Thank u so much colling
The 306 and 405 models usually look so good in white for some reason. Specially the 306. And the 405 has that look where it started to get a little rounder, but still had that overal boxy shape. The mix between old square styling, with a hint of modern roundness, can largly only be found on cars from that time period. I like them a lot of that.
Being an American where we stubbornly (stupidly) still use english system of weights and measures, it funny to hear that they still call it mileage and read it in kilometers.
Its like whoever worked there went home one day and never came back. I would love to know the back story of why it just closed. Had a 405 turbo diesel for a company many years back and it was a terrific car for going across the country with little effort.
Weird one that, I'm with you with thinking it was long before 2019 it closed, but then the owners manual for a fairly recent car on the bosses desk suggests that maybe that is the case...
With a place like this, it would be worthwhile to try and find the owner or solicitor and get permission. Then you could maybe get some history on the building.
None of these cars are rare or even valuable (maaaaybe the 403 and the antique we see at some point) so there's not much incentive. You can find a near mint 405 for 3500-4K€ nowadays. Abandoned models can be had for 100€. (I'm french)
What a place! My Dad had a 405 1.9 GTX back in the day that used the same engine as the 205 1.9 GTI. It was a great looking car, especially in the dark green his was. He also had a Mazda 626 the same as at the front of the workshop. That thing was bulletproof! Can’t remember the last time I seen a 626 the same as that. Had a couple of 306’s myself years ago as company cars - a 1.6 Meridian and a 1.6 LX. Hopefully someone will rescue these and they don’t end up scrapped. The book on the table at 15:00 next to the Citroen service manual you flick through, has a photo of what looks to be a current Audi Q3 on the front of it, so maybe someone still visits the place?
The Ford Focus was maybe moved in much later - it has the newer numbering which started in 2009. BW-XXX-XX would mean the plates are from 2011-2012. My dad had a Lexus from that year and the plates were BV-XXX-XX
I’ve never liked ever liked Peugeot or as a very young lad I knew would pronounce it Pureshit which I would quietly smile at and think that about sums them up as up here in the proper north-west you tended to find them all rusted and falling to bits and as such I’ve never=er given them a second look until about maybe 6years ago some clown ran into my Merc A class and it was wrote off it was a great car but we went looking around the garages as one does for a replacement and at one garage I was talking to the sales guy and he said I’ve got the very car for you well we’d looked around and seen nothing he said wait here I’ll just grab the keys it’s only came in this morning and low and behold he showed us a 3007 estate and said take it out for a drive so we did and we liked it loads of room in boot for the wheelchair and the dogs as well but you’d think it was plated in gold and platinum by the price they wanted for it so we walked away from the only Pureshit that I’ve ever looked at buying in over 45 years of driving.
Just can't believe that a place like this can just sit there for a full 10 years already and not be destroyed or have some cars/parts stolen. This is a very busy part of Limoges with shops and traffic all around it. (tip: if you want to keep the identity of this place hidden, don't just blur the big sign but check the small details as well)
Hi guys. God, that has got to be the late 80s or early 90s. I remember my dad bought a brand new Peugeot 405. Wicked video again, as always 👍. If there was a 205 GTI in there, then I would lose my shit lol. What a place. Thanks 👋 🇨🇮
Thanks for sharing this. Obviously an entire backstory behind this place. Disappointed there were no 403,404 or 504s. Cars I considered the heyday of Pugs! It also is a stark reminder of how the industry has changed. When did you last leave your pride and joy at a workshop that was such a shambles?
I don't understand how these places are left for years even decades, what happened to the utilities they break in to get money and where's the courts for non payment of business rates.
Other countries don’t get spanked like us, the rates are probably €100 a year
I live close to it and the owner of the building was the business tenant
I like you & your content dude but don’t lie on the title it’s just comes across as sleezy we all know this place has been talked about plenty of times in the past & recently so don’t act like you were the first to find it 👌🏼
Unbelievable really liked the Peugeot 405 such a good looking car
Pininfarina did a great job on that one for sure. I prefer it to the similar Alfa 164.
Growing up my dad had a 405 td estate, loved that car as kid, was so sad when one day it decided to set itself on fire.
Love the 405, really wanted an mi16, I had a MK1 Micra when I passed my test back in 07, loved it really miss that car😢
Don't tell Al at 6D Diesel you'll cost the man a fortune 😂👍👍👍
It's such a shame. All those beautiful cars. I think this was the era when Peugeots had their best design. I especially loved the 405 and the 605. Timeless. Future classics.

Hein?
Passage SIV >> AA-123-AA,
Mi- 2009.
I think I would spend weeks just looking around at those books and manuals, and then a few months looking around at the cars. What a find
old man walks in after a month, "i see you found my collection" 😂
Ignore the private property sign just go ahead and trespass?
One more entitled UA-camr who things he is allowed to do anything he wants when holding a camera
Should be arrested
Hi Colin, oh dang these cars are just sitting there! I wish the owner would sell these cars so someone can enjoy them. Have a great day❤
It’s a shame to see a place like this abandoned and especially those cars. I wonder if there are any abandoned dealerships in the Uk, now that would be very interesting. Great video.
Nice one Colin 👍 Have you seen the ford dealership in Germany left for over two decades with brand new cars that have never moved ?? .
They were moved into position years ago as a memorial for the deceased owner by his wife. Apparently she is now going into a home and the place will soon be cleared out.
I have seen that one would love to be able to rescue the ford Orion at that place even though it is a left hand drive
My favourite time old Peugeot thy was much beautiful and better just sad 😢
Wow Colin this was breathtaking! You found some real sweet cars in this one. Some pretty rare stuff as well. Love that 405 especially. Can't wait for the next video.
Looks like a pile of shit apart for the very very old car
I’m lucky enough to own a beautiful 1994 Peugeot 306, I’ve had loads of work done to it; welding, engine overhaul, repainting, undersealing, waxoyling etc etc.
She’s only a 1.4 XL 5dr spec 306, but I absolutely love her to bits. So to see this is incredible! All those brand new wheel trims in that room, they’d be worth a small fortune in just one of them. I’ve seen them go for £20 each! That 605 was gorgeous and that grey 405 was other worldly cool!
This is an epic one Colin, awesome find sir!
Limoges? Or at least somewhere in Haute Vienne (87) given the number of 87 vehicles. We have a house to the NE in 16 (Charente). Our village has an old Renault garage full of old cars and parts rotting away. As a Renault lover, it’s crîminal. Old aged owner didn’t want to part with the stock.
I'd love a Peugeot 405 again. I owned three but the best one was my STDT in Sorrento green.
the cars with tags, are they owned by someone? If so why would they not claim their cars.
405, truly a great car. I owned 405 STDT about 22 years ago, super comfortable and decent to drive
Nice video and keep your wonderful accent the world would be boring without any differences!
Wow I can’t believe these classic cars are left behind so rare to find I really hope they get saved because they deserve a another life
What was blurred out on the Mazda upstairs?
You have to wonder why a commercial property has been unused for so long? Seems longer than 2019 as a closing date.
Colin, watch out for Inspector Clouseau & his mates they may not be as friendly as the ones in your videos a week or so ago
If you’ve not been already, I think you really enjoy visiting the sparkford motor museum in Somerset. Maybe next time you’re down this way? I really enjoy your videos, thank you 😊
OMG this is heaven for someone like me that loves Peugeots from 70s, 80s and 90s.

Love the blue 305 GT.
I'm not a fan of Peugeot, never owned one but this place was fantastic!!! Plus I just love hearing your joy and happy enthusiasm at each amazing find. What a terrific place ❤❤
Colin you must have bern delirious with excitement seeing all those cars its really an amazing find.
limoge france 87 top du a de la chance vue toute les citee a cotee..

Bearded explorer you are killing me with the car Video I love the home ones you do !
As we didnt see any I think this closed before the 406 was launched in the mid 90`s.
spotted @ 16:49 leaning against the wall is the rear engine cover in yellow primer for a renault 4cv
Limoges france
Hey Colin, I love the Mercedes and the fiat. Thanks for all the joy you give us in your video’s.
@8:05 that looks like a 605.
The focus look good like to have seen it more.
Incredible find and a total time capsule great that it’s not been vandalized hopefully someone saves all those cars
There is a very good reason why those cars went unsold... they couldn't reliable bring you from point A to point B everytime you tried to start the car or it died on the road.
Cool collection of Peugeot cars ...Colin ...pretty awesome esp the white 306 ...wonder what happened to the company unless money ran out .....,👍
Its unbelievable these kind of places exist. In my country The Netherlands this would never be possible because of the lack of space.
As a very young girl, I watched Taxi movies with my father and fell in love with Peugeot 406 for life.
I don't understand why there are books of pretty modern Audi's and Peugeots laying around there while a lot of it looks untouched for 20+ years
Cars outside by building are trashed
Some great cars there and i would love to restore some of them and use them as a daily. That said, i think my Xantia will outlast me !!! 👍
I wonder why the steering wheel is on the left side.
Why hadn't someone not taken them cars and fixed them they must be worth something love the videos🇬🇧
I’m having to unsubscribe, how many times do you need to run to papers or something 😂 wanna be famous
Oh wow another brilliant video, a couple of classics, but the mirca is a lovely little car.
Yeah nice find but its low end french crap no GTI,S or mi16 models just litter scrap value only nothing special here 100%set fire to the gaff weigh in all metal left over then build flats thats wats gunna happen dude i know u like french cars sorry i just dont get it keep em coming m8
The steering wheels all on the wrong side major bummer 😭... The 405s iconic luc beesons film taxi
The 'Renault ' was a Peugeot 104
I live very close to it and a store in the area bought this place, some of this cars already moved, I'm afraid they will destroyed them, the building will be destroyed soon t creat a new on due to the location witch is interesting, very close to the motorway exit.
For the story the owner was retired and his child fight for the heritage until now. The shop closed almost 15 years ago, remember when it was open when I was a kid.
I wish you spent more time filming each car and filming what parts are still sitting around on those shelves. Most of this video was filming through the windows and too many ad breaks. Dissatisfied
its a wonder any of those cars have not been towed away for scrap?
Colin, great video as usual. We are long term subscribers, but the amount of adverts is making your content really hard to watch. I too am a creator (motovlogger), and take the time to delete most of the adverts to improve the viewing experience. Cheers
Enjoy these car videos but must tell u that that Renault is a Scenic not a Megane, wish they bring those back like that 306 those are classics here
Thanks soo much for sharing
15:01 Isn't that Audi Q7 (2015) on the magazine cover?
Автомобили на номерах значит поставлены на учёт и на них есть документы
People saying trespassing is illegal I understand but he is not stealing a thing instead showing the govt that there are certain places that are still valuable it only needs a simple touch and people will come to see all these vintage cars many kids this generation have never seen such cars that were driven by their great grand Parents let’s not be Karens but appreciate his work Thank u
Omg i nearly wet myself . I thought i seen a Mi16 . But Sri still good but not the MI16
If someone who.likes classic car and buys the site they would make some money if they can sell all the cars and parts and then the site or start thier own classic car business would be win for them.

What gives you the right to trespass on other peoples property and post the details on the internet.
I hate to agree as I enjoyed watching this but your right this is illegal trespassing
Dude worry about yourself that’s his problem not yours! Enjoy the video Karen
In France there is no such a law guess, do that in Merica you get shot baby.
Goody two shoes
Other peoples property? Nobody has been there for over 10 years. I doubt they care much. If anything he’s giving it some publicity which might save some of the cars.
How do people find abondoned cars like this? is there no way in saving these cars? Get them back on road and sell on for profits even
I would have taken a car also please get me a car
Edit: this is a joke(maybe?)
J'aimerais tellement sauver la 405 et la 605 😢
Can't you find out who owns the place now and see if you can buy .
Such a shame they are just sitting there
Abandoned around 2000?
Pity you skipped over the Ford Focus, I have a particular interest in those
Your in region of Limousin because all number plates end in 87
Does anyone actually know this location, I wonder if we can save these?
Hi coling.
There was als abandon Ford dealer somewhere in Belgium and the cars in side looking brand new waiting for service.lather al cars have gravity
More lather al Windows ar smashed
All cars are... smashed it broke my hart.
So i hopen coling that nothing happend here afther months
I have drive Peugeot 104 model ford fiesta...and it's give me lot of memories
Thank u so much colling

Being an American where we stubbornly (stupidly) still use english system of weights and measures, it funny to hear that they still call it mileage and read it in kilometers.
Haha right, odometer or kileage then?
Those cars won't be there for long after this video no doubt.
Its like whoever worked there went home one day and never came back.
I would love to know the back story of why it just closed. Had a 405 turbo diesel for a company many years back and it was a terrific car for going across the country with little effort.
Weird one that, I'm with you with thinking it was long before 2019 it closed, but then the owners manual for a fairly recent car on the bosses desk suggests that maybe that is the case...
This really is amazing, would love to find out why it was left like this. Takes my mind back to 1990's.
Wow that’s so cool
@TheBeardedEⅹplorer兄弟10:20那辆车你应该把它拖回去修理一下作收藏之用
With a place like this, it would be worthwhile to try and find the owner or solicitor and get permission.
Then you could maybe get some history on the building.
None of these cars are rare or even valuable (maaaaybe the 403 and the antique we see at some point) so there's not much incentive. You can find a near mint 405 for 3500-4K€ nowadays. Abandoned models can be had for 100€. (I'm french)
What a place! My Dad had a 405 1.9 GTX back in the day that used the same engine as the 205 1.9 GTI. It was a great looking car, especially in the dark green his was.

That 505 is an STI, too. I used to have a (very rare) US-market 1986 STI. Very solid, very comfortable car.
What is that very old car at 9:16? I mean what model and logo is it
Thanks!
An absolutely incredible find. 👍
The Ford Focus was maybe moved in much later - it has the newer numbering which started in 2009. BW-XXX-XX would mean the plates are from 2011-2012. My dad had a Lexus from that year and the plates were BV-XXX-XX
У нас в Казахстане всё давным давно разнесли бы! Вот что значит европейская культура
I’ve never liked ever liked Peugeot or as a very young lad I knew would pronounce it Pureshit which I would quietly smile at and think that about sums them up as up here in the proper north-west you tended to find them all rusted and falling to bits and as such I’ve never=er given them a second look until about maybe 6years ago some clown ran into my Merc A class and it was wrote off it was a great car but we went looking around the garages as one does for a replacement and at one garage I was talking to the sales guy and he said I’ve got the very car for you well we’d looked around and seen nothing he said wait here I’ll just grab the keys it’s only came in this morning and low and behold he showed us a 3007 estate and said take it out for a drive so we did and we liked it loads of room in boot for the wheelchair and the dogs as well but you’d think it was plated in gold and platinum by the price they wanted for it so we walked away from the only Pureshit that I’ve ever looked at buying in over 45 years of driving.
Just can't believe that a place like this can just sit there for a full 10 years already and not be destroyed or have some cars/parts stolen.
This is a very busy part of Limoges with shops and traffic all around it.
(tip: if you want to keep the identity of this place hidden, don't just blur the big sign but check the small details as well)
A finnish media made a story of your video.
What a location shame they were all Peugeots
Look at these bunch of abandoned cars, there are reliable, very nice, there looked so bad.
It will probably get thrown out and torn down
Fiat Palio/Siena weekend, in Argentina were and still very popular, same as the 505 405, focus....I had 2 Mk1 5 and 4 doors, Damm such a good car
Hi guys. God, that has got to be the late 80s or early 90s. I remember my dad bought a brand new Peugeot 405. Wicked video again, as always 👍. If there was a 205 GTI in there, then I would lose my shit lol. What a place. Thanks 👋 🇨🇮
