This British YouTuber and his friends went on an adventure to an abandoned barn and found a one-of-a-kind discovery, including two different types of rare Ford and even an old airplane fuselage.
The team trekked miles through dense woodlands and a frosty field to reach the abandoned barn and dealt with freezing cold temperatures.
The car lovers were not left disappointed by what they found, but each of their discoveries was in a extreme state of disrepair.
The condition of one of the rare Ford cars could mean that this find could earn the YouTuber a lot of money.

A one-of-a-kind barn discovery
Colin Hodson has amassed 230,000 subscribers on YouTube for his videos exploring derelict places and finding absolute gems inside.
He’s also known for his iconic signature beard, hence the online YouTube name The Bearded Explorer.
In a recent exploration, Colin had struck gold with a one-of-a-kind find in an abandoned barn.
He and his team trekked through dense woodlands and a frosty field in freezing temperatures to see what it held.
Once they got there, it’s safe to say he was very pleased indeed.
A rare Ford, a plane and a Mini walk into a bar(n)…
Upon entering the abandoned barn, Colin and his team immediately came across a large airplane fuselage with the wings missing.
But this was only the start of the amazing finds waiting for him as they searched through the trash.
Another notable discovery was a kit car and a Mini, both in poor shape and covered in mold, but, he notes, with minimal rust.
Colin also discovers two Ford Escort RS Cosworths, one blue and one white, an incredibly rare find.
The white Cosworth only had 12,500 miles on the odometer, making it potentially one of the lowest-mileage examples in existence, making it even more rare.
However, the cost of repairing the cars would be incredibly expensive. Even though the black leather interiors were beautiful, the exteriors were in very poor condition.
Colin, though, was clearly pleased by the outcome of his latest adventure and can’t wait for more.
And neither can we!
