Guys dropped from great height to get into secret underground facility and in there found valuable car hoard that included an F1 car

These guys dropped down into a secret underground facility and found a valuable car hoard that looked to include an F1 car.

The YouTube channel Lost Adventures paid a visit to a facility that belonged to Bristol Cars.

To access the car collection hidden beneath, they dropped down a considerable height.

But it was well worth it, as what they found was nothing short of a treasure trove.

This underground facility was filled with hidden gems, including an F1 car

It was immediately clear that these cars had spent a long time down there, as dust had settled on each and every vehicle.

While some looked relatively well preserved, others looked as if they’d been taken out of a garage mid-renovation.

The jewel in the crown was undoubtedly the race car.

“What is it doing in here??” one of the hosts asked incredulously.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t determine exactly what type of this car was at first glance, but it was evidently a race car.

Inexplicably, a plane engine was even sitting down there.

They found original molds, wood-models, and strange vehicles like a moon-buggy type car.

At one point, they came across a Bristol 411 Series V Saloon, which was reportedly worth $233,000.

“Look at it, it’s like a James Bond vehicle,” one of the hosts commented, panning his camera over its silver body.

It’s hard to disagree with him on that point.

The floor is littered with motors, taxis, and even a motorbike.

Throughout the video, there was just a sense of disbelief from the host – he couldn’t wrap his head around the thought that these cars had been left in this dusty underground facility.

Car collections are cool and all, but being underground is just another level

There’s something extra special about vehicles being hidden away underground, isn’t there?

Something about it just adds an extra layer of mystery and exclusivity.

Like, for example, this luxury car storage spot that lies beneath an LA hotel, or this bunch of quirky vehicles stashed underneath the Lane Auto Museum in Nashville.

And the fact that this particular collection featured cars from Bristol Cars is just so cool.

A revival for the British manufacturer is reportedly on the way, so we’re keeping a close eye on that.
