These YouTubers found more than they expected when they explored an abandoned mansion and came across a Jaguar.

And by Jaguar, we mean the car, not a dangerous jungle animal.

Although it wouldn’t be the first time a YouTube explorer found some wild animals in an abandoned building.

We know which we’d rather find.

How did these YouTubers end up finding a Jaguar at a derelict mansion?

YouTube channel, VacantHaven, took their 100,000 subscribers with them as they entered a stunning empty mansion.

This house had all the quintessential things you’d expect from a fine establishment.

The rooms were huge, there was a marble fireplace and a spiral staircase leading upstairs.

Unfortunately, parts of it have been damaged, with a balcony smashed to pieces.

It also has a killer view of the British countryside.

There’s no way of knowing how long the house has been left abandoned, but newspapers from 1986 have been left inside.

But the real draw is of course the Jaguar itself.

The car, believed to be a 3.4, was left on the grounds underneath a sheet.

Given that it’s spent years out in the elements, it’s held up remarkably well.

How does the car look upon closer inspection?

Admittedly, the leather seats have a ton of cracks running through them.

But when you consider that some cars have been inhabited by mice, it doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

Apparently, it still has that ‘new car’ smell to it.

With only 7,000 miles on the clock, it might as well be brand new.

It’s not uncommon for YouTube explorers to find abandoned cars at derelict properties.

The Bearded Explorer alone has come across many including this Ferrari F1 car at a rundown farm.

The YouTuber also encountered some monkeys in a deserted hotel.

It’s a shame that so often great houses and cars are left to rot rather than being appreciated and looked after.
