Classic cars often tell amazing stories, and one intrepid explorer uncovered one of the biggest barn finds ever discovered in the UK.

This collection included a stunning Porsche 911, a rare BMW 1800 Touring, a charming Fiat 500, an old red G-Wagen, a unique BMW 5 Series, and more.

In total, there were around 175 rare classic gems waiting to be discovered.

The Bearded Explorer covered this amazing barn on his YouTube channel back in September 2021.

Explorer found UK’s Biggest barn find with rare classic cars

These classic cars rested in massive storage for years, gathering dust instead of attention. But finally, after long years of abandonment, these beauties were up for sale by the owner.

While the cars weren’t as clean as you might hope, most of them still seemed recoverable.

Most cars found their place inside the storage unit; however, some rested outside.

The notable finds outside included a Porsche Boxster, a Volkswagen Golf, a Land Rover, and a Mercedes-Benz.

One Mini Cooper outside had a funny sticker that said, Mini’s have feelings too! There were a few more Minis, too, showing the owner’s love for these small cars.

The garage didn’t just hold classic cars – car parts were scattered all around, along with other mysterious items like a McDonald’s joker, chairs, and motors, giving the place a retro feel.

All the cars were up for sale

A Triumph Stag, in particular, was in pretty bad shape on the outside, all covered in bird droppings.

While the Austin Champ from the Austin Motor Company caught the explorer’s attention for its rarity, the MG cars filled the space with many rare models.

He even noticed a Mini Cooper convertible, but it wasn’t a genuine model since the roof had been cut off.

Most cars had notes attached, providing details since they were up for sale.

The explorer was stunned by this massive collection, and who wouldn’t be? It was surely one of the UK’s biggest barn finds ever.
