These Youtubers discovered a massive barn full of classic cars that had been tucked away for years.

Vacant Haven has form for checking out cool abandoned properties and this video was no different.

Saying they explored a farm may make you think of a wooden barn, like this one that stored seven Mercedes SL-Class R107s.

But in fact, they were visiting what looked like an airport hangar—and it was just as eerie as it sounded.

What did these YouTubers find whilst exploring?

The building and the surrounding grounds played host to a huge number of classic cars, many hidden underneath sheets and debris.

Some of the cars were tricky to identify given the condition they were in.

One Land Rover, previously owned by a fencing contractor, had been completely consumed by trees, to the point that it no longer had a floor.

At least a tree isn’t growing straight through it, like some of the vehicles at this Swedish car graveyard.

Many of the cars outside the barn have been rendered inaccessible after being consumed by nature.

One of the hosts commented of one car: “God, you would have to be able to open the door at one point if those trees weren’t in the way.”

The cars inside have fared a lot better but have gathered a lot of dust.

It’s a odd assortment of vehicles in the barn, with tractors sitting alongside classic cars.

There’s even a pile of springs, presumably taken from armchairs.

What were the best classic cars in the barn?

The quality of the cars on the property varied, but they were still worth finding.

At one point, one of the explorers remarked that ‘Mr. Bean’s car’ was in the barn.

Although the vehicle shared the distinctive green color of the comedy character’s daily driver, it was not the same brand.

Rowan Atkinson’s iconic character drives a 1977 Leyland Cars Mini 1000.

In real life, Atkinson is no slouch when it comes to his cars and has one of the best collections in Hollywood.

The barn car, on the other hand, was a Suzuki with a practically unchanged interior.

Cobwebs and spots of rust aside, it hadn’t held up too badly.

There was also a Morris Minor Split Screen Volkswagen in the barn, which really excited the explorers.
