  • This place was as good as they come.. a massive home completely abandoned with everything left, and if thats not enough then why not throw in a huge collection of classic cars too!… We found x4 Citroen DS, A BMW E30, Renault 19, mk2 VW Golf, Classic Honda Civic, Citeron AX and a Peugeot 205! Quite impressive to say the least! We tried to find as much info we could and even spoke to a few neighbours, but sadly no one knows what happed to the owner? Its another one if those sad storys where the person just disappears and the whole life is slowly reclaimed by nature, all those memories.. gone…
    Hope you enjoy this weeks video guys 🙂

    Well that video was absolutely amazing,all the cars and contents in the house. Those cars as you said would be worth a fortune now. And so much personal stuff just left still makes me feel sad and I have now watched most of your videos Colin.Its great you document these places so we can all view them.Look forward to next weeks.Take care.😃

    The ESF badge stands for "École de Ski Française" its a badge you get when learning how to ski. Thats a 3 stars one. The owner must have been french, the motobecane bike is a bike my dad used to have with his friends, it was the trendy bike back then

  • @RadialSkid
    @RadialSkid Рік тому +2

    The Motobecane motorcycle is a single-cylinder, probably a Z46 from the 1950s.
    Also, the Matchbox/AMT 1957 Ford Thunderbird kit was issued in 1981.

    Big respect to whoever did the shuttering for the concrete spiral staircase, I don't think that was intended to be an attic. DS safari reminded me of my dentist as a child in 1970's, he had one with a weird double number plate on the back. I'd get one or two fillings every 6 months, he was an animal- left my molars looking like Jaws off moonraker!

    It was a person who liked cars and played music with other musicians. He had multitudes of projects going on one, after the other. He was probably divorced and had lots of things to do to keep the kids happy and occupied when they were there. He needed to get money out of those cars for paying alimony etc. He had all this going on until burning the candle at both ends took its toll. 😟

    2 questions, how can these places be left like that? If the person died surely the family would deal with their estate, and even if they didn't have family surely wherever they died (hospital) would have notified the authorities and I'm sure the government would want their share. Secondly, how does it make you feel routing through other people's personal effects? Whist I watch your videos and find them interesting, I was very upset about Ken Dodd's house. A man who gave his life to make others happy didn't even have a will??
