Colin Hodson, aka The Bearded Explorer, found yet another incredible collection of abandoned cars, yet another barn find, including a classic American car, a famously unreliable Jaguar and a real Ferrari.

This collection of abandoned cars spans across several decades and different brands as well.

We haven’t seen that many collections that include both Peugeots and a Ferrari.

Unfortunately, they’re all in fairly terrible shape.

The three most interesting cars from the barn find

There are a lot of interesting cars from this barn find, but three of them stand out a bit.

First, the Ferrari and huge Cadillac (that appears at the end of the video).

But the crown jewel – in our humble opinion – goes to the Jaguar XJ-S.

Unveiled in 1957 and produced for about 20 years, Jaguar sold over 115,000 units of this model.

This car is iconic, but also famously unreliable.

But, in the eyes of several collectors, something like that is sometimes part of the charm.

Then again we could say the same about a variety of Alfa Romeos, or the iconic Yugo from the former Yugoslavia.

An incredibly varied collection of icons

The collection comprises at least 150 vehicles, and it includes just about major brand you can think of.

You’ve got Jaguars, BMWs, Mercedes-Benz and Lotus models, as well as Porsches, Peugeots and even a TVR and a Ferrari.

They’re all in desperate condition and, as ever, no one knows why or how they got there.

But one of the top comments below the video posted The Bearded Explorer summarizes the situation quite nicely.

“Whoever put this collection together clearly has a hoarding problem,” the commenter said.

Well, yeah, undoubtedly.
