I Explore The UK’s Biggest Barn Find Collection Of Classic & Extremely Rare Cars!!

[@Ben-in6qh]

Nice to see he's such an enthusiast he's kept them all really good condition

[@paulmartin4971]

Hi Colin it's great to see a fantastic lot of classic cars that are not being left to rot and are being sold to live their lives and thrive for years to come with new happy owners.

[@thughes52]

Good to see all those cars upfront as you walk around fella ....seen the paper saying it's going to be a massive auction of all the cars it's mentioned in the daily mail .... 👍 That white Nissan I'd have away if I had the bread ....

[@snbala]

It’s good these are being sold off, as they can be fixed up and hopefully used and enjoyed rather than sitting in this state. Another great video, keep it up 👍

[@tonymontana897]

They'll only be used to make money from. None of these buyers will buy to keep. Greed is the main motivator.

[@tarquinspanner8305]

Brilliant, thanks for showing us around T.B.E . I really enjoyed watching .

[@raymond_rayder]

I was tempted as it's within cycling distance; decided against it. It was discussed on Pistonheads, and others had similar reservations: last minute, poorly organised, they only posted details to Instagram, finding stuff out seemed like a treasure hunt. But the biggest was the 15-minute viewing limit per person. I would easily spend that looking over one roadworthy car. I'm sure bargains were had, but the sellers dropped a bollock by not advertising or organising it properly. Happy to see you got to explore it, Colin - and without any of the typical KZbinr nonsense, like claiming (in all caps) that you 'found' it, or pointing to a BMW and saying "these had a V6 engine". Nope and nope. As an aside, whenever I see your videos I always wonder if there's any exploration tip-offs I can pass on. I know of some good stuff, but it ain't in the UK! Take it easy, man.

[@vviiper]

Yes, this collection has been going around and also seems like the general concensus is that most of it is massively overpriced and overhyped.

[@raymond_rayder]

@@vviiper Agreed. A collection of this size is unprecedented - at least within the London borders - but after looking through the list of cars, my general feeling on its contents was "meh".

[@raymond_rayder]

@sss_imperial79 Yeah, the whole thing reeked. The PH thread has interesting commentary - it's titled "174 barn finds for auction". Someone made reference to the owner complaining that it's hard to get half-done projects finished by a third party. It's true that body shops won't like to paint over someone else's prep, but that's a weird complaint to make when you have your own body shop. It's like standing in a full-stocked kitchen while complaining that it's difficult finding a restaurant willing to dice carrots for you... The 1973 Porsche 911 is either not a 1973 or it's been chaved-up beyond recognition, the 535i reg. E835 ACD reportedly has rot issues (reflected by its MoT history), several cars listed have incorrect models or reg. numbers. My mate emailed them; their reply apparently states that unsold cars will be eBayed. But they don't say what the eBay account is called, and again refer people back to Instagram. My mate (like me) doesn't consider it the job of the buyer to beg for details, so he's out. What a bunch of wazzocks. Glad I steered clear.

[@allenschmitz9644]

Who's land was this?

[@raymond_rayder]

@@allenschmitz9644 Not sure. I heard the council owned the land, hence why they had the authority to demolish everything to build houses on it.

[@danisantabarbara5931]

This place was brilliant mate, thank you for this great experience.

[@danisantabarbara5931]

@Gappie Al Kebabi thanks mate. Are you pulling?

[@alasdairvincent6248]

Wow There are some really lovely old classic vehicles up for grabs there. A lot of these are rare and collectible. I was like a kid in a sweet shop watching this video! A lot of these vehicles are ripe for restoration and putting back on the road.One of the VW campers would be my choice. These are worth serious money in restored condition. The owner is going to make loads of money from the auction of this massive lot. Thanks for this fascinating video

[@NoahClay6]

Glad you got to explore this and show us around. Love the 6 Series and those Fin tail Mercedes sedans are getting pretty hard to find hope someone will give them a full restoration and show them at some car shows. Also that Wolseley in the intro is pretty cool don't see to many of them around and always love those older G Wagons and Range Rovers. As always love the videos and can't wait for the next one.👍

[@briansweeney2291]

Great find Colin 👍 love the old BMW very nice 👌 unfortunately don't have any time for restorations, but would love a update on the BMW you bought with you're dad , perhaps you can do a video 👍😎 on you're collection of rare cars Colin 👍😎

[@albarn100]

Saw this place on Becky Evans channel, such a shame the 5 series (530)is rusted so bad on the sub frame and on n/s rear wheel arch area

[@hdtom]

Thanks for sharing this amazing barn find with us all buddy - lookin forward to the next video

[@Billythebubble]

Absolutely brilliant video thank you

This was on the auction day ,scroll to 1:04

[@RuffneckBizniz]

I was literally only thinking this morning when I saw this lot in the paper that I could imagine you looking around this, and I come on KZbin and here you are!!

[@AirPictureGM]

This is Fantastic bro....I would give my left arm to see those goodies.

[@SD-oi9gr]

God damn. I’d clean them all if I could drive them after. You don’t see sites like this in the U.K. that side. Thanks for showing us!

[@matthewpayne42]

A shame the bloke had to sell everything. You must be joking. At least they will all get a second life rather than being covered in pigeon shift and left to rot.

[@smhorse]

A second life as a parts donor for a better car, maybe.

[@jbconno]

This is the 4th YT video I’ve seen on this in the past few days, there must be queue of You Tubers outside waiting their turn to film the same stuff the previous people just filmed and posted.

[@Christbp]

Still watched it though didn't you.

[@flivy5048]

Ah this is that one that popped up this week. The guide prices on the cars are a bit optimistic 😂

[@Epica-gb2uy]

Oh yeah for sure the minis shouldn't be more than 2 grand

[@matthewbrittain2919]

Absolutely some of the prices written in the dust where very optimistic 😂

[@kadechilds201]

Watching this now on my TV 👌🏼

[@martinsallenger5526]

Hi Colin it's good to see that the classic cars can go to new homes instead just left in the hanger,it would be really interesting to see how much they go for,massive building great watch

[@kierantaylor1828]

These finds r really good 👍👍👍👍

[@hawaiisteve932]

Very enjoyable video , thanks, I'm glad I live 7000 miles away or I'd be broke !!!

[@penelopecarpenter5166]

Love this,the mini and vw campervans would be my choice,though I did like the Morris with the wooden edges.

[@mattfisher7432]

That Austin Champ looks a good find.

[@chrisb9360]

That 911 at the start isn't a 964. Someone's fitted later bumpers etc. however, the interior gives its age away. it has the centre speaker on top of the dash making it a 70s car.

[@FRFRANKIE]

How are you? As always one awesome video. Keep up the good work and thanks for putting out all of these videos that you work hard on to edit and put out. Stay safe and take care.

[@maggi666]

Thanks for the content. Would be brilliant to watch the auction live just to see the prices these amazing fetch 👍🏾👌🏾👊🏾

[@philbosher6959]

Great video as always.👍

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

This collection has blown me away and it was a surprise from your usual finds. I am a big fan of Mercedes Benz, here I could just swim in them. The one car that is rare and would fetch a pretty penny is the MBenz at 15.09, the VW Camper at 12.29 and if it is the super rare 'Alpine' model with windows all round, the 2002 BMW's and many more. Even the parts bin are brimming. But, from some of the comments below, have to see where the sale goes. The building looks like it would have been a components or radio/electronics factory back in the day. So there would have been start stations at one end where raw components came in and these would go up to the finished product at the other end. Thanks for posting, love these cars to bits, but too far away and don't have the wads for another project. lol

[@stevepierce533]

You can't fault the video or the enthusiasm it has generated from car guys who obviously know their stuff ( far more than me), but, and it's a big BUT - given the diversity of all the vehicles there is a story behind all of this which hasn't been disclosed, other than "storage space has to be given up......" plausible, but perhaps too conveniant. if i'm wrong, then respect to everyone involved.

[@smhorse]

The E24 is way overpriced given its current state. Even half of that is pushing your luck. Also, it's a Highline, so there's potentially quite a bit of corrosion hiding underneath - front wings and all four wheelarches, all around the sunroof, door bottoms, front subframe / steering box mount, rear panel and three-quarter behind the bumper cladding. That's just for starters. Being indoors isn't a guarantee against rust, and E24s hide a fair few rust traps (the body shells were originally built by Karmann, who had a bit of a reputation for rust - see the E9s, for example).
