If you’re a fan of classic Range Rovers you’ll love this hidden gem tucked away in Dover, England.
The man behind this remarkable collection spent years curating it by rescuing cars from barns, fields, and auctions.
Now he’s finally ready to let them go.

The collection
YouTuber, IMSTOKZE, real name Stuart Stokes, was contacted by the owner of the collection, who invited him to walk around his collection of classic Range Rovers.
After years of amassing a collection that’s completely taken over his garage – he’s finally ready to get rid of them – to the right buyers, that is.
He has asked prospective buyers to get in touch via the YouTuber as he puts the vast majority on the market.
Stokes admits that ‘this is the first time I’ve ever done this’.
His occupation means he’s ‘much more suited to falling around in muddy fields or – you know – going through bushes looking at old rusty cars’.
Although he admits he felt ‘in his element’ walking around the storage unit,
Speaking of Range Rover fleets, Justin Bieber recently arrived in a convoy of Range Rovers for his $10 million Ambani wedding gig.
The Range Rovers
The first car the content creator approaches is a classic Range Rover CSK—there were three in total—that needs its interior refitted and a few other tweaks before being handed over to its lucky new owner.
Other classic CSK models include a near-perfect leather interior and a third has only 9,000 miles on the odometer.
Next, he comes across an über-rare model that was one of only 25 made and featured in Ed Sheeran’s Castle On The Hill music video.
The artist planned to purchase it as a memento for himself but the sale sadly fell through.
He follows this musical legacy model with two Overfinch Range Rovers parked side by side and in need of a little more TLC.
“There are hard dashes and soft dashes, some early ones and the majority of them have a cloth interior – with a mix of teddy bear and leather,” Stokes explains.
There are original models with original paintwork, carpets, interiors, and very few miles on the odometer.
There’s even an original ‘Get me home’ box in one.
“That’s a rare barn find in itself,” Stokes explains.
Walking further through the collection, he finds a heap of Range Rover Discovery as he heads towards the back of the unit.
A collection in a far worse state is this abandoned Range Rover graveyard full of hundreds of luxury 4x4s that have been left to die.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
