That was my thought, they are all setting there because they couldn't get them shift out of park. Everyone I ever knew that owned one, including myself experienced that problem.
I know that place - it's a breakers? They aren't abandoned at all, just down the track on the left are some sheds and a workshop. The bloke that runs it is a great lad. He has pretty much any part you need for a rangie and will deliver it or you can collect. I've been there twice now picking up an engine and some other bits. It's an actual place of business and he does loads of business from there. It's hardly a mystery?
It’s incredible to see all these Range Rovers just left sitting there in the open. Some of these could surely be put back on the road with a bit of work. Hats off to you for braving that terrible weather to bring us this video. That shows the proper dedication you have for what you do.
Parts are way too expensive and these are 20+ years old so pretty much everything will have started to fail. Probably usable for offroad farm vehicles but not much else.
Lots of p38s all will be fucked defo not suitable for the road ever again will be suffering from rot on chassis,electrical problems,oil leaks etc etc only suitable for parts for the mad men thst want to keep them on the road
Great video Imstokze, particularly showing abandoned range rovers in a harsh cold landscape. I bet we will see more abandoned drivable cars when ULEZ is extended across the whole of London.
The sheer scale of Range Rover Series 2 (P38) and 3 (L322) and Discovery 2s notably 3.9 and the 4 litre ones just blew my mind. A good explore. Colin needs to check this one out.
There's a similar collection of Range Rovers in Oregon, USA. Many in the yard appear to be in lovely condition. It seems like a very expensive throw away car.
I look at that graveyard and one word comes to mind, Depreciation! These were not bought by owner maintainers, and with high labour rates, even clean and tidy cars became too expensive. And its not as though they're known for reliability... And thst was pre covid and before fuel price were out there past Pluto!
Had a few of the LR & Disco models in my time. The Series 2 3 door in green was our favourite. Very few problems compared with later models and it did reasobly well to the diesel gallon
When checking the DVLS website, a lot of these cars are showing an MOT pass then simply "MOT Has Expired" the following year. They don't appear to have failed an MOT with a long list of issues & been taken off the road due to being uneconomical to repair.
This is crazy, more surprised to see the mini there, my lad has a big standard 52 plate, paid £600 for it last year and been offered a Grand for it just last week. Plus it needs a new gear box. Surely any clean enough need to be undercover, be worth a few quid alright won’t they? Can’t say I know much, if anything an out any terminal faults they may have or anything but maybe just flogging the wheels if they are just breaking them
I've worked at land rover Solihull for nearly 30 years now so I've seen all these cars actually being built in the flesh. Definitely looks like a breakers yard.
If the owner is a “collector” won’t be able to do anything. We have a bloke near use whos garden is packed with rotten cars and he’s been taken to court several times by the council and he says they are his collection and it gets thrown out of court every time.
The council does allow it. The guy whose business this is has a licence and the council are up there a lot to check on him and compliance with enviro regs etc.
1:38 in. GV51PVX I used to own that one! The guy bought it from me as a good running car with MOT. Why pay £2k and leave it to rot?? Wish I'd sold it to someone else
All the good parts will get sold, and the shell is a huge chunk of scrap metal. The dealer is laughing all the way to the bank, with a lot more than 2k 😉
There are lots of similar videos on TH-cam showing the outside storage surplus vehicles from around the world. Not only cars but aircraft and even military vehicles. But my favourite is the absolutely unbelievable mountains of brand new never been used bicycles somewhere in China.
What else can you do with lemons! The other 100000 are languishing on council estate drives! Made in England ,with Chinese parts by an Indian conglomerate:))
Absolutely brilliant video stokzey 👍omg I could not believe what I was seeing just unbelievable and that Westminster I'd have had that my self brilliant
Wow. That's insane. It's a real shame as it looks like most actually would start and drive off with a bit of light maintenance and recommissioning. But as you pointed out these were the big 3 and 4 litre guzzlers and at present are unaffordable on the roads with tax and fuel.
Bizarre, I just saw my old RR P38 1997, air suspension died, gearbox fault….bought for £28k from HR Owen, got £700 scrap for it 12 years later. Cost a bomb in maintenance 😂 Hope they find the wrap of coke I lost down the side of the drivers side. My fanny magnet back then 🤣😂 loved that car . Amazing vid, cheers! Had to show my ex the link as we bonked in it so many times before we parted lol
When you said most of these were 'turn key'. I heard everyone laugh in the background as I very much doubt these were running. I feel the owners rejected this junk and gave it to a company to dismantle for parts. Also sitting on the grass in the wet and damp, they will rot to pieces as you said.
I don't know if there are defective vehicle buy-backs over there (known as "lemon laws" in the US), but it wouldn't surprise me to know these were part of such a program. I owned a defective VW (purchased new) that was bought back, and for years I was still listed as the owner of record.
That's were they belong. Range Rovers are the biggest money pit you can drive. This is probably an owner buying spares to keep his daily driver running 🤣
"If you've seen one, you've seen them all." Not always the case. I've seen this one before and still watched it and yours was much more interesting. Your commentary and passion always put your videos above the rest for me, and for all your subscribers, I'm sure. Can't wait for tomorrow's rubbish upload 😉
Probably stolen insurance right offs not forgetting the fuel they use & the road tax these monsters need. Most look over 20 years old & I bet have over 100k on the clock.
Let's hope all the fluids have been drained or it's all going to wash into the streams. I'm surprised the Environment Agency haven't jumped on this site. The scrap value sitting here is immense, someone is biding their time hoping values go up.
Its an old mine so classified as an industrial area. Mark who owns them is a crook and only thinks only of money and not the damage he is doing to the landscape. Many have complained and reported him for burning caravans and burying waste but the authorities do nothing.
@@yodasmybitch i was going to say, there's a licence required for breaking vehicles due to fluid leakages etc and this site does not meet the requirements by the look of it lol
The land is on an old mine, there are loads of chemicals already in the land from the mining process, there's a load of ponds where the water has to sort of separate out before it's allowed into the river down the road
I’ve happened across this place by accident, I like to drive roads I’ve not driven before and vary a repeat journey by going a different way. I came from above the site and dropped down and round and past it, and wasn’t sure whether it was a breakers or an eccentric collection. They all looked pretty intact from memory. Quite a surprise so far from anywhere and it didn’t look populated at all.
So many land/range rovers and crazy to imagine one day these cars will be a relic of the past. Another great video brother, just sharing what's out there and documenting each location one journal at a time 🤠🌲🍃
THIS IS NOT ABANDONED OR A "GRAVEYARD" Legitimate breakers business, you can find him on eBay, please, these kind of videos are just asking for vandals and theft. I love urbex, and have been to some amazing places, but wouldn't dream of sharing someone's business or personal property.

What a place. Some lovely looking motors. Westminster is the right choice what a lovely looking beast. Bet that would clean up bloody lovely. And if its the diesel 2.5 its a Bullet proof BMW engine. Which is cheap as hell to run. I run mine on red diesel for 10 years cost me nothing as I got it from work 🤣🤣 Keep up the good work 👍👍
Wow we would have never known that place Existed if not for you going out to show us, on a cold wet morning I have so much bloody respect for you sharing this Find of Range Rovers so sad to see so many unwanted Rovers 🙏👏👏👏
Seeing this and thinking of the retail values today makes me realise how lucky we were in the early seventies and late sixties. Series one Landrovers could be had for thirty quid needing work,and I bought an Austin Champ for £210 in 1972. £1500 to the taxpayer in 1951,thats fifty grand in todays money (google it). This Champ had 25,000 miles on the clock four wheel drive an all synchro gearbox,(in those days unheard of) and an engine desighned by Rolls Royce,although built by Austin at Cofton Hacket,wherever that was.We never found out. Ex Squaddies abounded in those days including superanuated ones of indetermined rank so we were always getting ribbed. 'You kids will turn that B - - - - - thing over and kill yourselves,The back axles are mince,Nine Miles to the Gallon' Fortunately for us our Champ was reletively trouble free barring a clutch(Austin Gypsy Fitted) and did twenty to the gallon when driven sensibly,not always done,wonder I am nearly seventy. The engine was awsome,a thing of wonder. One German Mechanic, who had served in the Werhmacht was astounded, when he read in the handbook not to remove the head until the car had done 100,000 miles. Most vehicles then had a decoke every thirty or so. We drove all over The Central Belt and West Coast of Scotland in that Champ and had frequent visits over the border to places like Blackpool where our mate came from,and Bolton wher was to be found Hughie McGovern Part Time Lorry Driver and Austin Champ Specialist. And Yes He Was English ! With a name like that,Hughie should have been a Scot !
@@philiprufus4427 that was a interesting read love stories like that going from one place to another,yes can't Beat seventies and late sixties, Vehicles
As I though, this is unsold/excess stock from the factory as they haven't been registered with the DVLA and this is the cheap way of storing and forgetting about them. It would be interesting to see if the land is owned/registered by anyone, as it could be claimed by someone else who secures the gate if it's not.
I love the P38 but only 167,259 of them were made but since I saw this I've started to wonder how many are still on the road and they were really unreliable as well
WOW, thank you for taking the time to film this IN THAT WEATHER. You're points about the cost of running these vehicles are pretty much spot on to my mind. For sure very sad, again cheers.
Exaggeration! There are still thousands on the road. The company breaking these is obviously making lots of money. That would be so if none were left on the road 😉
Mmmm, which p38 to choose 🤔 OK? It's probably the one that doesn't bong...... 😉. I would say that's a tidy collection they have even allowed space to open doors without hitting the one next door ... at least now I can tell my wife that I don't have many projects lying in wait 😇🤣
I have a p38 and I can’t find the colour anywhere and after looking at this video, there isn’t one with my cars colour there either. Mind you mine has quite a unique history.
Once again you've Smashed it buddy excellent vid such a shame I want them all apart from the Escalade tribute which is rank and that Essex boys style one from the council estate lol keep it up buddy all the best
As a man of certain age yeah i did own a ford capri as yungun...i often wonder where old cars vans etc go ...since watching utube NOW i know .....mostly hoarders...cracking vid
They are not just dumped. SA real person has a business, making money from the parts. Yeah, I agree not very scenic to most but it brings sightsee-ers in! Go along the road a bit and visit the little old chapel and Trisant lake. It's a lovely area.
Having a few friends who own these cars, it's not a stretch to think that they probably all broke down at the same place at the same time! 🙂
Isn't that the truth they have a lot of problems for sure
That was my thought, they are all setting there because they couldn't get them shift out of park. Everyone I ever knew that owned one, including myself experienced that problem.
You're the funniest fellow in the world!
They all have something in common "They went through Rufford Ford too fast" 😢😢
Ahahah Most Probs Bro!!

You’re spending too much time on TH-cam as well, have you seen the one with Sting
God I'd love to be the chap who pulls the cars that get stuck in Rufford Ford.

Mark skitt is the owner of all these its his business selling the parts works out of Aberystwyth industrial estate
It says a lot about Range Rover reliability when you have a yard full of cars without accident damage. 🤣
There's a similar collection of Range Rovers in Oregon, USA. Many in the yard appear to be in lovely condition. It seems like a very expensive throw away car.

Awesome video buddy ,that Westminster looked lovely,such a shame , looking forward to seeing your next video ,look after yourself Bud.
Has to be a place where the factory is putting them. Maybe it is ones that couldn't get fixed at the dealership so range Rover had to take them back?
Great upload Stuart, even for the location alone!
hi where is this place pls, i have a TD5 and always looking for parts
No wonder you don't see any rangerover's on the road some of them are perfect sitting there wasting away. Its mind blowing!!

Well, I have two of them and I know of several others. Not exactly common here in BC but not rare either.
And they still are with newer models, engine problems suspension, egr, the list goes on but the build quality of the structure and skin is excellent
Both my P38s have been pretty reliable with good maintenance. My current 2000 on is a dream! This video breaks my heart.

Fkn nightmare to work on ,the engine has to come out for most jobs, and those fancy adjustable shocks are insanely shite.
Makes me wonder if they were flood damaged on a boat?
More on this property then ones left driving on the road.. wow 👌
Exaggeration! There are still thousands on the road.
The company breaking these is obviously making lots of money. That would be so if none were left on the road 😉
Some of those still have valid MOTs!
Recalls parked up never to return to the road. These had major problems electrical and mechanical why they look good but don’t move
P38s are starting to go up in value here in the States, this would be a gold mine here.
I'm sure many of the parts will end up in the USA

Mostly taken off the road due to "global warming" which I see you experienced while you were there.
