In a massive barn find, a YouTuber has found a massive building that is home to a car collection worth millions.
Hidden from curious eyes, the building’s location is unknown to most people – and for good reason.
The car collection also seems to be connected to a high-profile figure in the classic car world.
Barn find with rare cars worth millions
Captured by Colin – better known as The Bearded Explorer – the storage building holds more than 30 classic cars.
Although the cars show some signs of neglect, they are not exactly abandoned.
It is more of a storage facility for the car collection, linked to a high-profile figure in the classic car world.
Located amidst overgrown vegetation, the building holds many classic cars produced between the 1920s and the 1960s.
It includes several Aston Martins and Bentleys, which is not that surprising considering the owner is a UK-based collector.
The Bentleys alone are worth more than $250,000, but the collection has even rarer cars.
In terms of Italian sports cars, you will spot a Lancia and a few Alfa Romeos.
The barn also houses a rare BMW 503 coupe with right-hand drive.
There’s also a red Frazer Nash continental coupe and a one-of-one Nardi Silver Ray.
Colin had previously found a unique collection of cars abandoned in a barn in France, but this new barn find is on a different level.
Mysterious car collection
There’s no telling who owns this mysterious car collection but they have one of the rarest cars in the world, just sitting here collecting dust.
However, the Silver Ray was restored by Julian Majzub in 2013, who may be linked to this collection.
Hopefully, the classic cars in this collection will soon get to be back on the road, by touring car shows or showing up at classic car meet-ups.
