ABANDONED BARNFIND HEAVEN - 100's Of Cars Rotting Away - We Brought One Back
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2024
- 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.

Places like this fascinate and frustrate me in almost equal measure...
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
At least there are only 4 or 5 genuinely interesting cars there, amongst a load of worthless old crap. There are much worse places...
Don't look up the UK scrappage scheme car storage if you don't feel like crying...
Mental Illness at its peak
I never understand how people can be so unorganised, and leave potentially unicorn cars to rust away.
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?
My thoughts exactly, acres of lost opportunities smugly mocked.
Junk collectors, thinking they may need it sometime in the future but never do.
Literally nothing will get used there shame
Those cars deserve better! 😢 such a waste. Good luck with the build of the one you saved!
Places like that just make me itch to get all the junk and crap thrown out, and get the cars organised and if possible, under cover.
Such a shame to see them all rotting away.
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.
Just the most heartbreaking thing I've seen in ages. Poor cars deserve better.
It must be great to buy cars ,and then leave them to rot away in a field, incredible 😢
Exactly. And that 4 wheel Reliant from his dead friend will never see the road again. why not sell it to give it another lease of life, his friend would prefer that I'm sure. That bloke has more money than brains and a hoarder mentality, I bet the house is stinking.
@@carltonbreezy I was thinking about that BMW, it looks like an Alpina 3.5, that should be saved
@@carltonbreezythe guy is a genius so doesn’t care to much as long as he has fun, he doesn’t need to sell anything just use his cars for FUN and racing down crail 1/4 mile strip so see when he gets plums like you saying that bollox it just bounces right off coz coz we all know ur well jel 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, he has his own wrecking yard. I can not imagine land being that cheep.
Christ the entitlement in these comments.
Anyone who ever dabbled with rust can tell you these cars were sod all WHEN and even BEFORE he bought them.
Well what a project. You are literaly the only blokes i know who's optimism is outweighed by your skills. Good luck with this project if you do it. Thanks for the wander.
Wow this has got to be your biggest challenge yet.... I am so looking forward to seeing the work start.
MR2! MR2! Please go back and rescue the MR2s!
why? they're rev1's that are crap or ukdm rev3's.. There are still plenty OTR and available for purchase in UK and mr2 breakers that have many in worse condition than those in UK.
What depressing weather and all those cars growing mould and rusting away ..
That's Scotland for you. I have a barn with 3 old cars in it and it feels wet inside most of the time due to the climate. Soul destroying
It would be , being a resident of a ex-british colony known for it warm weather , I'm always amazed at the weather and the amount of rust , when watching any of the UA-camrs working on cars in the UK
What tropical part of the UK do you live
@mead6754 the warm weather ex-british colony being Sydney, Australia 😄
Right? That kind of storage can work on dry land in the South US, not on an island in the Atlantic.
This Mazda is going to be one hell of a project. So looking forward to watching the progress of this build. I'm sure that it will tax your steel origami and cutting skills to the max.
I hope you enjoy the build as much as I think most of your followers will. Best of luck gents.
spare parts most likely
And all this time I thought MY yard was a shithole. I'm feeling much better about myself now, thank you.
And I was worried about 4 motorbikes in my garage
My thought excatly. Must make sure my wife watches to show her true hoarder!!!
LOL Rich best comment it is a Shithole 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was just about to say this lol. I only have a single car garage full of random bits
What a lovely chap. He just can't resist adding another car can he?
What a shame you couldn't rescue the Reliant and the Citreon. I know they're not glamour cars like the BMW's, Porkers, Jags etc but they deserve a little love and attention too.
What is a “Citreon”?
@@e28forever30 It's very similar to a Citroen. Practically identical actually.
i'm a fan of the ford capri, my dad had one before i was born. it's my dream car and it's hurts so bad to see one rusting aways... "The car you always promise yourself" one day, one day i'll got one..
That 309 is awsome... if it's to low the just adjust the torsionbar and make it higher and go track it again.
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.
Agreed, I quite like him tbh, proper motorsport man (multiple disciplines) and it's evident he knows what he has and when to sell. There's nothing out in the open thats a proper unicorn and you couldnt just go to car+classic or ebay and buy. I get what he's on about post covid too, feel for him there, it's hard to get the momentum back up again.
if you're restoring this, will be epic. I'll be in for the whole ride.
So many gems just forever forgotten and rotting away. At least you saved one of the more desirable of the bunch.
Yes... rescue the capri! As others have said it is sad they have been left out to rust and fall apart
Good of you to shine a little light on this mans collection, I hope people looking for projects / parts catch on and get in contact. Much like you did, looking forward to seeing more of this.
Hello Ryan 👋 captain yorkshire and everyone. I love this video of seeing everyone outside and looking at all the different kinds of cars so neat.
If you guys take this on then it will be absolutely insane....but thats why we all love watching. Go on .....please do it. Like Ryan said..nothing is impossible 😊
Great video and best of luck restoring it, a deserving case. The Morris Minor was a '56 model, not '65 (split screen) and best if all, the video has confirmed I'm not a hoarder, just a collector. I'll get my wife to watch to place things into perspective!
I'm so excited about this build! I cannot wait another episode of the build! Good luck guys!
20:26 the vaquablaster is a smaller version of the one I have. It's great for cleaning alloy parts and even derusting brake parts etc. They are a big dollar machine here.
As for the Mazda ,a mate of mine bought one off ebay here in OZ years ago , just to get the engine. It's not a rotary engine but a Ford 351 Cleveland .... 😁
AH - was it BLUE at one stage in its life? I knew of one here in AUST with a 351 in it.
Remember the the lad on Toy Story who lived nextdoor to Andy, who tortured & dismembered toys, eventually killing them. Well this guy is like an adult version of him & his toys are cars.
If cars had souls and could speak they'd be like, noooooo, don't let him buy me! So very sad. I wouldn't want to be the person who clears up that place once he's passed away.
Love the old RX’s- we miss so many of them vs them down under.
Good on the fellow showing us his cars ,,great viewin guys something different
Wow! Makes the Disaster Datsun look pretty good! Might need an 818 donor car for that one... Coupé's are rare as hens' teeth, but there are four doors around here in Scandinavia. I'll let you know if a suitable one pops up.
You have received an email
This is and always will be my favorite car of all time. I know you will bring it back to life thank you 🙏 👑💯
My idea of heaven, what a beautiful property.
Lol..
Mikey your an absolute legend pal and one of life’s good guys 😜
Had an RX3 Coupe when I was 18, great car. started looking for one about 20yrs but there was nothing to be found (in Scotland anyway). Maybe one will still turn up....... Great vid guys
Same.. sold it for not a lot with a Bridgeport 13b.nowadays worth a lot.. oh well
I also had an RX3 coupe back in the 90’s. Missed it so much I bought an RX2 20 years ago and shipped it over from Oz.
This video motivated me so much, I'll start cleaning my warehouse and post items on eBay ASAP!
Man after me own heart
It's up to him what he spends his own money on👏
I vote no more new projects until you finish one! Thanks for the content boys.
Now you know that if you restore that the series will be epic and if anyone has got the skill Steve it's you.
Nice to see this RX3. Very rare car by now.
A friend of mine races a RX3 with a RX8 wankel-engine in Belgian Historic Racing Competition.
My uncle ownes a 4-door RX3 in mint condition.
And he also ownes a 818 2-door that used to be my nephew's (other uncles son) first car before he bought his Sierra Cosworth in 1987.
How I would love to own an 818 2-door coupe. An RX3 is out of the question.
The rustbucket have all rusted away, as rare as they were from the beginning.
I think your are mental buying that car what a load of work I only hope it will be worth it I know it will be beautefull when finished best of luck I look forward to watch you transform it
Great vid! Love places like this.
Hi, been watching your channel for a while now and you have gave me the confidence to buy an old classic that needs welding etc. Have done a few small repairs , has gone ok but it seems to take me a long time. You have given me a huge amount of tips to help me with my project. You guys are fantasic with the repairs you make and make it look so easy............keep up the fantastic work,all the best Lee
What an amazing challenge. Thanks for the video.
You’ve bought some patina there chaps!!
Seemed like a jolly fella.
By the look of it you've bought some pare glass and emblems for your project. I wish you luck in what ever you decide for this old girl.
I’ve 11 capri first one 3ltr e (YLG 113J ) when I was 17 years old my brother had his too loved them ever since but only 3 litres or later 2.8 .brill video your proper up north now lads ! 👍🏻😉😂reliant kitten 4 wheel wow. You mean you paid him for it 😳🙏🏻
He Raced so much that He actually didnt Race at all... fucking Horder who runined that nice Cars...
What a place!!! I don't know if to feel sad for the poor car or to be happy that it's off to a harley street car Surgeon to make her look beautiful again. Are we going to call her Mandy ❤❤❤. Joe
Well... you can't complain this time. You've done it to yourself!
Personally, I'd have seen if he'd part with one or two of the MR2's!
I thought they would go for the BMW
They ain’t worth owt
We have thousands of those Mazda Rotarys here in Australia, in fact i saw a pristine one yesterday in the car park at the Bathurst race track. We called them the RX3. Those Savannah fronts are worth alot of money today because many people put them on the 808 which was almost the same car but without the rotary.
Oh! This is going to be epic fun!!
My life!! You guys are either really brave or completely mad! That was one of the best videos ever, I didn't even know places like that still existed, great video look forward to seeing what you do to that one.
My dad had a new 929 LA2 Mazda back in the 1970's, looked years ahead of its time, with the twin headlights. Would be great to see one brought back to life, but man, that one looks rusty!
That is wonderland.
Love YCR’s skills !
Rusty Dreams
what an adorable piece of .... yeah.... can´t wait to see what your´re gonna make out of it...
That is going to look real nice on display in your shop.
The definition of optimism. 👍
Unorganised chaotic shambles. But he came across as a happy man, and he rallies which is a bonus, so good for him.
So cool, restore it
Saved another one, looking fwd to seeing more of it
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.
"Can't sell that because my neighbour gave it to me." But I'll leave it to rot in a field instead. Madness
👍🏼I detected a blue Citroen Ami 6 in the back in the hall at 18:13!
Love that!😍
Great channel,I‘ll subscribe!🍀
It’s sad that 90% are scrap. But there are some gems hidden in there. I admire the fact he isn’t afraid to spend money to enjoy himself racing etc. looks like he needs a dam good clear out
vast majority were scrap when parked, look at them
Now I’m hooked . You got to attempt it
lads - the word BRAVE sprigs to mind - but what a classic! so glad you saved the rear window glass too - try getting one of those down at Autoglass 😂 good luck guys, cant wait to see you fixing it!
Wow😳😳😳. I saw realy fantastic and legendary cars. First Skyline and Mr 2....
APART FROM THE FORD CAPRI’S,HE IS THE PROUD OWNER OF UNDESIRABLE JUNK😂
It saddens me he has so much space still and only 1 Capri.
So are ford's!😂
That mr2 is cool! Propper rally style build!
The RX3 is worth saving, especially with the skills you guys have 👌
That location must be heaven for you guys 😀
Man, you boys are brave! That’s a hell of a salvage job, sheesh!
That's a nice looking car
Oh how I wish I could see that little MAZDA restored - but - unlikely. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Can’t believe you bought it 😲 hope it’s not as bad as it looks.
Actually looking forward to this restoration
Another project. It will be a challenging rebuild🎉🎉
Wow.. one pf my favourite cars 😢
OMG some work there lad
So sad to see such an awesome car in such a state of disrepair. It hurts my heart to see it.
Very good father and son.
im looking forward to this build lol
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 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
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! 😂
Huh? This guy is not the reason for scarcity. Without him, almost every one of these cars would have been crushed years ago.
I believe that the scrappage schemes are mainly to blame.
@@grumpyz0mbie a lot of these cars will never see the road again probably, unless people see this video now and offer to buy some, and that RX3 might never of made it out of there if not for these guys
@@Tezzzaaa yes that killed off a lot of perfectly working cars and many classics sadly
He definitely loves his cars and brilliant find for you both.
more like hes delusional and is destroying all those cars
if he loved cars he shouldn’t have left them to rot and degrade like this.🤦♂️
Loves his cars,is your sight and sound a bit on the lesser side?
Cant wait for the episode's of the progress on that project....one you bringing a rare car back from the dead and 2 your face kills me with the patch repairs and rust you find 😂😂😂😂
Whilst i love the usual content you put out, its cool to see content of you out and about doing stuff like this. Will you do any vids of shows you attend?
Yes we will be doing some show vids :)
Is this just beside Stonehaven?
If that gets back on the road it needs to be named Lazarus.
Some quality cars that need saving not hoarding
That Alpina 5 series has to be saved! It looked like it wasn’t too far gone so still financially viable also
I know a man do does the exact same. Fair play to him memories. Seems a nice bloke 😊
We are so lucky here in AUSTRALIA that we do not have salt and rust like that - HA - we would be crying if we saw that amount of rust - and you brave guys just 'grin and bear' it and get on with the job - HA. CHEERS from (no salt) AUSTRALIA.
I had an RX3 in 1985, was still able to buy most trim and components from local dealer, Mazda maintained a very long parts chain to Australia.
Famous last words ‘I was gunna…’
Appropriate music for the end of this video would be Funeral For A Friend. How sad...
More cars, GREAT :- )
