This man in the UK visited someone’s garden that had a mysterious 40-foot shipping container full of ultra-rare classic cars hidden away.
The cars weren’t abandoned but stored there for a few years to keep them away from prying eyes.
Moreover, these weren’t just rare icons but were collector’s items the person had been keeping there.
Obviously, that shabby-looking shipping container held super-expensive rarities inside.

Iconic classic cars hiding inside a shipping container
George from the George Cars Media (GCM) TikTok account posted a video showing a collector’s rather mysterious shipping container.
It was kept in their backyard and didn’t look like it would have anything interesting inside.
However, that was just a case of pretenses because inside, there were two extremely iconic classic cars.
@georgescarmedia This 40 foot shipping container is full of cars. I’ll never forget the day that this man showed me around. And even now it’s still wow. All of this is only topped off by the rest of his collection #carstorage #storagefind #modifiedcars #classiccar ♬ original sound – GCM
On another note, this tale reminds us of a man who paid $150 for a shipping container hiding a James Bond car.
Or this person who spent a whopping $17,000 to find a high-end car.
But we digress.
As the man in this video opened the door, a few sets of tires were seen kept in the front.
The real deal was hiding behind.
Cars collectors would pay serious money for
It was a 1983 Mk1 VW Golf GTI that practically was in pristine condition.
It also was all original — meaning the popular ‘hot hatch’ was as good as new.
For the unaware, this hot hatch got its name because of the drastic performance uplift it offered over the regular Mk1 Golf.
The Mk1 Golf was already a game-changer when it came out back in 1973, but the GTI variant stepped it up.
Its owner mentioned that it had a 1.8-liter powerhouse, meaning it wasn’t a turbocharged diesel engine.
Regardless of that fact, collectors would pay serious money for something like this today.
Hiding behind that Golf GTI was a 1989 Mazda 323, which is also one of the most iconic classic cars among hatchback fans.
The owner mentioned it was a project car and had a full service record, further making it extremely valuable.
This shipping container was certainly expensive and had excellent cars.
In contrast, this YouTuber’s shipping container with a muscle car hiding inside looks pale because the muscle car in question was quite beat up.
