Old abandoned car dealership is now a huge car graveyard full of Alfa Romeos due to a tragic story

An abandoned car dealership in Belgium holds a car graveyard of Alfa Romeo models, from rusting 1970s sedans to early-2000s performance cars.

The site was once a busy showroom for the Italian brand, serving customers across the region.

It shut down without warning after the owner died in a road accident near the property.

Today, the cars sit in place, lined up in overgrown yards and locked behind dusty glass, offering a rare look at decades of the brand’s history.

Hidden haul inside abandoned car dealership

The site was documented by the Bearded Explorer, who filmed inside the locked premises.

The owner was a long-time Alfa Romeo dealer and collector who kept many of the models as part of his personal stock.

His sudden death brought an immediate end to the business, leaving the forecourt and storage areas exactly as they were on the day of the closure.

The owner’s son still visits occasionally, but the vehicles remain untouched, turning the property into an unintended car graveyard where time stands still.

The collection includes Alfa Romeo 156s, 159s, and 145s, along with a rust-covered Giulia from the 1970s.

A clean Alfa 155 and a rare 166 with a 3.0-liter V6 Busso engine are among the most notable finds.

Several Alfa Romeo 33s are also present, one with modifications suggesting it served as a racing safety car.

Many of the interiors have faded or cracked, and paintwork has dulled under years of sunlight, rain, and frost.

Not all the vehicles are Alfa Romeos. A Ferrari 360 Modena sits under layers of dust, joined by an Alfa 156 GTA and a GTV6 that appears to have been better protected from the weather.

Some cars are missing parts, such as mirrors or badges, likely removed over the years, while others appear intact but neglected.

The mixture of models shows the breadth of the dealership’s inventory, from everyday sedans to rare performance machines that now share space in the car graveyard.

Alfa Romeo legacy left to rust

Belgium’s location and strong car culture have long attracted collectors, and Alfa Romeo has a dedicated following in the country.

Even in poor condition, models like the 155 and GTV6 are still valued by enthusiasts for their motorsport ties and design.

The abandoned car dealership has effectively frozen these cars in time, with some still wearing original trim, factory wheels, and dealer stickers.

As car production moves toward electric power, petrol-driven classics are gaining new attention.

Without active preservation, the car graveyard will continue to decline, but it remains a record of a collector’s life and a brand’s presence in the region.
