We Explorer An Abandoned Car Dealership With Everything Left Behind!!

[@martinnightingale6033]

Feel quite sad seeing this once thriving business in such a sad state . Guess this the way of the world now . Thanks for sharing this video .

[@tzsteve33]

Great video, really enjoyed it. It’s quite sad to think that someone’s life revolved around this place and it was surely a hive of activity at some stage. Makes me think that life is in the here and now, as much as we reminisce and look back on things or think forward to what we plan. None of us know what’s around the corner. Thanks for the epic content

[@elliottprice6084]

The dealership looks like it's from one era and the cars outside are from another. It adds another dimension to the curiosity of this video. I loved it

[@marks-0-0]

This is so sad. I like to visualise abandoned places lke this when it was a happy local business serving the community. I remember visiting local Motor factors with my dad.

[@simonhamblingx466]

I live round the corner from this garage it was a family run Skoda garage the owner is a lovely old boy call Jeff I remember as a child going in there with my mum and day he would give me and my brother 50p worth of sweets from the shop at the front it’s a real shame he is now in his late 80s and lived in the tin shed on the side up till about a year ago and I think he is now in a old people’s home there is a electric Skoda round the side it very very unusual but a great place

Fun fact; in the Skoda parts catalogue from that era you could, as a dealer, order Czech beer, it even had its own part number - we ordered a couple of cases of it back in the 90s for a laugh assuming it would never turn up, but when the order arrived, in with all the oil and air filters etc were 2 cases of 12 bottles of lager

[@gaddmeister]

Did a bit of research and found some good info. The owner was born in 1933. I know his name etc. I've found blog from 2008, when the owner would have been 75, when a couple of people were complaining about extortionate prices, and he was abrupt and rude. He seemed to also get confused when someone was asking for a badge and they went round in circles for days. I would say he got too old and senile, maybe ending up in a home. Companies House only shows him and someone older as registered. Probably abandoned for around ten years or so.

[@Adzie36]

[@gosportjamie]

Almost certainly another victim of the Volkswagen takeover of Skoda. When that happened, a lot of the traditional old, independent Skoda dealerships lost their franchises overnight, regardless of what their contract situation was with Skoda UK, and the franchises all went to VAG UK's favoured dealers. It was absolutely criminal, and probably illegal, but none of the independents had the money to take the case to court, so they got away with it, apart from a very small slap on the wrist from the SMMT...

Looks like max 10 grand in parts. It is like this because of the time passing by and the man in charge got old.. No captain, the ship goes down.

Wow if I’m not mistaken that’s Cranes near me. Geoff Crane was a very nice person and many years ago (nearly 30 ) gave a Skoda Estelle to get to work in they still have a caravan sales place up the road.

[@stuarthall6631]

Incredible! Once again, many thanks for entertaining us so well! What is a little confusing - contradictory, even - is that this place has clearly been "gone over" a few times by different people. It would not have been so untidy when operating. And yet, given that there are rare and valuable parts present, little appears to have been stolen. Obviously, we don't know what was there to begin with but there is still so much that would fetch good money today on eBay!

The contents of those stores would be worth a fortune to a Skoda garage/restorer. And seeing the cars out the back - it's such a damn shame to see them in that state. That Lancia looks by far the oldest, I'd say it was mid/late 50's. The V4 is a very Italian thing to do - Alfa Romeo had them also. The Merc engine you found was likely out of the SL parked out back, or intended to replace the one in it.

[@teebodk3917]

Not only are sites like this an extreme waste, they are also a serious environmental hazard and it should be forbidden by law to reach this stage of decay... Maybe the owner died, maybe he got sick, maybe there are no relatives and so on and so on, but there really is no excuse for letting it get to this point of decay. Some of the buildings are about to collapse and we clearly saw lots of aerosol cans in there. Probably lots of oil as well, not to mention any hazardous fluids still left in the cars and lawnmowers. Once the buildings collapse, there will be no way to recover aerosols, oil drums etc. in a safe way and there will be serious contamination issues to deal with. No property anywhere is "unowned", no matter what circumstances, there's always a person, company or even a state in charge somewhere in case the owner died and had no living heirs. Whoever holds that position of ownership/charge/custody needs to get their act together and do something.

[@JohnDoe-ox5ni]

The blue plastic car at the beginning is a reliant scimitar like s posh 4 wheeled robin reliant ...Did you know Princess Ann had one of those.!!

If memory serves, the first Reliant Scimitar from the early/mid 60s had the Mk3 Zephyr/Zodiac straight 6 2553cc engine and at the end of the 60s and into the early 70s the Scimitar GTE used the 3 litre V6 from the Mk4 Zodiac.
