This hard-to-access underground barn find contains millions of dollars worth of cars.
You can only get to it by climbing through a gap and dropping from some height into the basement below.
Those who dare will reap the rewards, however.
It contains expensive prototype cars, an F1 car, retro taxis, and a heap of wooden replicas.

The underground barn find
The urban archaeologists of Lost Adventures teamed up with content creator and car enthusiast, The Bearded Explorer, to check out the abandoned building and cars beneath.
The pair claim to have had their eye on the collection for several years – however, it wasn’t easy to access.
Explorers have to climb through a gap and ‘drop from a height into the basement’.
However, it’s arguably worth it despite onsite security and police cameras adding a layer of difficulty.
‘Bristol Cars’ was a luxury car manufacturer based in Filton near Bristol, England.
In March 2011 the brand went bankrupt, but in April it was taken over by Kamkorp Autokraft, also owner of Frazer-Nash.
The brand produced vehicles in short runs, however, Bristol was left with no dealerships, bar a small showroom on Kensington High Street in London, UK.
They went into administration in May 2020.
Similarly, explorers found hundreds of abandoned cars deep underground in a Swiss mine.
On the same level, Japan’s exclusive underground car meets look like ‘Tokyo drift in real life’.
The hidden cars
The explorers entered the hidden underground storage unit and find a wealth of rare and expensive cars, including Formula 1 and prototype vehicles.
“The cars are insane,” one of the team whispers with excitement.
Some of the unique cars stored there include a DeLorean with Back to the Future-style doors, a Formula 1 car, and other rare models.
The most incredible fact is that some of these cars still have keys inside.
The facility contains other car models and original molds, including a moon buggy-like vehicle and a classic car worth over $230,000.
As well as entire cars, they find more car parts, old taxis, motorbikes, and vintage items like old suitcases and clothing, adding to the mystery and eerieness of the space.
The YouTubers believe that the valuable finds are more than likely heading to auction in the near future, much like this three-building barn find hiding millions of dollars worth of cars.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
