When the former World’s Strongest Man bought a mystery container from a jeweler, he found a car inside that made it worth every penny.
Eddie Hall spent $17,128 on the storage container, and had it dropped off at a parking lot near to his English hometown of Stoke-on-Trent.
Inside the container were safes containing a cache of jewelry.
That’s a good enough find, but there was a car at the back of the container that truly was the cherry on top.

What car did the World’s Strongest Man find inside the storage container?
When you were once the World’s Strongest Man, you’re used to applying a bit of muscle.
After all, they don’t give out that title for nothing.
So it’s a good thing that Eddie Hall was down for rolling up his sleeves and getting to work to open the mystery container and the safes inside it.
After all, if you knew that these safes had belonged to a former jeweler, you’d want to get a look inside of them too.
Inside the first safe, they found 12 golden sovereigns, which he estimated to be worth around $5,484.
And then inside the second safe, there was a diamond ring, which was definitely worth a sizable amount.
At the back of the mystery container was a 2007 Bentley Arnage, and it was in good condition – despite being in there for the better part of a decade.

Did this Bentley work after its time in storage?
Almost like he was in a movie, the keys fell down into Hall’s lap when he flipped down the sun visor.
Unfortunately, the car didn’t start up straight away, so he had to grab a booster pack.
This gave the car the jump start it desperately needed, and the Bentley woke up.
He estimated the car would be worth around $54,873.
So all in all, it was an investment that paid off big time.
Storage containers can be a treasure trove for forgotten cars, which are often pretty well preserved.
One woman found her dream car inside a storage container, where it’d essentially been frozen in time.
And then there was the woman who cracked open a storage container that hadn’t been opened for 20 years, and found a mystery car inside that was worth 10 times the locker’s fee.
