An incredible discovery was made in the basement of a mansion, where abandoned cars worth millions were found collecting rust and dust.
After quite a walk to reach the place, the explorer finally found his way in, and what he saw was astonishing.
As he entered, the first thing he noticed was a car body lying on the ground.
That was just the start of it, as the basement was where cars worth millions were resting.

Abandoned cars worth millions explored
This amazing find was covered in a YouTube video by Bearded Explorer, a well-known YouTuber famous for exploring places with abandoned cars.
Among the vehicles were incredible finds like a Bentley and a classic Mercedes-Benz.
To top it all off, the basement even housed a Formula One car, though it sadly lacked an engine.
This hidden collection was not just about finished cars – there were unfinished cars with only their bodies intact, engines lying around separately, and even car molds made of wood.
The explorer couldn’t believe his eyes as he moved through the basement, uncovering these forgotten treasures.
One of the most remarkable discoveries was the number of Bristol cars stored there.
A 409 Bullet Speedster caught his eye, with an opening bid set at a staggering 175,000 pounds, as the YouTuber discovered online.
Another fascinating find at the abandoned mansion was the Bristol Fighter prototype, an unfinished car left to gather dust.
Story behind the abandoned mansion
The story behind this hidden treasure is just as intriguing.
The car company that owned these vehicles went into administration, and all the remaining items were seized.
Due to the coronavirus, they stayed in the basement much longer than planned.
Unfortunately, the location has now been sold to a newspaper company, which has leaked more details about the find.
However, the security has been tightened with guard dogs, regular patrols, and on-site security.
These gems definitely deserved a better fate!
