What the hell is wrong with people letting classic cars like those go to rot?
It really beggers belief. It's so heart breaking to see.
It makes me sad because I love mk1 escorts as I had one for my first car back 1989. 😢

I used to have a MK2 escort a MK3 cortina and a MK 4 cortina back in the late eighties, early nineties. I preferred the MK3 cortina though.
I had 4 mk1 escorts and a capri but never a cortina.
My dad had a MK2 Cortina, and I was the owner of a MK2 1300 GL Escort 1979, that my dad bought brand new, then sold it to my elder brother, who then sold it to me, and I in turn sold it to my sister in law’s brother, who wrecked it. What a darn shame because it had been really looked after, getting wax oiled underneath every 2 years and was still pretty unmarked when I sold it in 1988.
My MK 2 Escort was a Friday afternoon car. It kept going wrong and had it broken into 7 times in 4 years. Worst mistake I made was buying it. It was W reg last of the MK2.
Every now and again a mk 1 escort turns up but to see multiple 2 doors along with estates is amazing. Add in the capris, cortina gt and an Escort Nimbus Camper for good measure, an amazing find!
Cheers, mate. I wish I could save them all.
not forgetting Corsairs
my Dad had 2 of these early 1970s
It's incredible to see how much junk some people can accumulate and leave it to rot.
I love the Escorts MK1.
Whoever owns these is sitting on a few quid,get them sold to enthusiasts and enjoy the money.
Good job losers like you didn’t say that 20 years ago 😂
Thousands of pounds just rotting away .
Could be deceased with no family.
exactly

It’s the mentality… I know someone like this he just wants to ‘own’ them doesn’t want to do anything with them & won’t sell them… madness 🤪
The last 2 cars you kept calling cortinas were corsairs. Love corsairs .
Yer, I realised they were corsairs when I got to the top.
yep 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I had a Ford Elba camper van, conversion by Dormobile. I bought it from a scrapyard over 30 years ago! It was on the top of a pile! Needed an engine, gearbox, two front wings, a bit of welding but I got it back on the road! God knows what it’s worth now if it is still about!
It's the usual story Jerry as they were worth nothing when parked up and now mint they would be worth a fortune.
As mentioned previously this place indeed has a bit of everything and I could easily spend a day there.
So sad to see this but I would of definitely knocked on the door though.
Any Campervan or Golf GTi updates ?
Thanks for sharing 🙏
☕👍
Some good stuff there and lots of bits to put smiles on oily hands ha shame to see um in that state but those were the days cortina escort capris top stuff.
As a petrolhead and an Escort fan as it's what I grew up with in the 70's and 80's this is just heartbreaking!
That old Corsair too...tragic!
Yer so sad😢
Same here & when I think of the cars that have been through my hands for a few hundred quid back then I could cry.
@@Mad109R I totally get that.
All the time I could afford a Mk2 RS2000 I wanted newer cars like Golf GTi's etc
Now I lust after an RS I'd have to sell 1 of my kids to get it 😂😂
I always wished mk1 escorts would be made new again, RST do now but you need to be a lottery winner to buy one.
n
hi m8 now that is defo 10 out of 10 not just cars vans but rotavators stationery engines scaffolding ect ect that person is a hoarder and has good gear thanks for the share
Cheers mate 👍
Great find mate loads of good stuff mixed in with all the other crap there must be a fortune hid in there. Very interesting place though a moochers paradise. 👍🇬🇧
Cheers mate 👍
Many of them need saving man thats just so sad to see so many car's ❤ love my escorts too. That camper is a gem ❤
I love watching your exploring and enjoy them very much.. Thank you 👍👍

This is incredible Jerry. So sad to see these once great cars like this. I’m so glad I hit ‘all notifications’ on your videos! Cheers, Brian. 👍🇬🇧
Cheers mate 👍
SDD300G is a 1969 1300 escort. Originally white! Last V5 2012.
Awesome video Jerry mate I remember when Stokze did this video what an incredible place it’s shame there all just sat there they definitely need saving for sure mate
Cheers. Yer, I'm meeting Stokze on Thursday he wants to go back there again.
It brings tears to your eyes seeing all them cars just rotten away
Great video 👍
Unbelievable Jerry 😮 didn't know the Corsairs, Transits and the other cars were there nearer the house!! The green doors were off a Corsair!! Mk3 'tina GT needs saving!! Great vid 👍
Cheers mate 👍 yer they need saving
nice one Jerry.
Cheers 🍻
Great video, and as a mk1 owner I find it crazy that they’re still just sat there, but I didn’t think @imstokze ever gave out these locations??
He doesn't usually, but I'm a friend .
When I was a teenager in late 60s early 70s a chap that lived two doors down from us bought a Escort mk1 camper brand new, my dad borrowed it a couple of times and we all went out for the day
I don't understand why people just leave classic fords or any cars just to rot that's a 2 door mk1 escort as well but looks past repair as looking like it's deep in the ground and the Capri looks in better shape but you don't know good few fords every where i feel sick the person has junk piled up everywhere as well I know they wasn't alot back then but now people pay silly money I couldn't ever afford one now it's truly shocking 🤯😭
If only i had the money I would buy them all.
@@jerryexplores7587 your not the only one but I bet he is one of them types who would just want to leave them to rot instead of selling them
That mk3 gt needs pulling out and saving what a shame
Yer, it's lush. I would love it.
On one hand it’s sad to see these cars in such a state…but, on the other hand at least they are still in existence. They could have been cubed years ago, just hope some can be saved soon before there’s nothing left.
Nice work & video👍
That yellow MK3 Cortina GT is a very rare car, SAVE IT!!!!!
If only I had the money 💰
@@jerryexplores7587 how much is he asking for these cars?
that k reg cortina on the trailer is in good nick, al bet it`s a runner as well.?
That red car is a Ford Corsair very rare
unbelievable really sad
hi there , i ran the plate of the camper van and the mot expired last on record in 2007 for an indicator failure , miles on the clock listed on mot was 1180
Looks like a old Builder yard
All of the urban explorers was ere😂
Now that's a hoarder shame to see how Meny mk1 escorts and Capri and mk1 transit .. they are just wish people like this would like them to be saved and not rotten away
You were right, piles and piles of junk everywhere, ford rot boxes. Everyone of them.
what a shame , all been left out to rot , capri ,
Date of first registration October 1982
Year of manufacture 1982
Cylinder capacity 3000 cc
Just left too rot? Should be a law against classics like this just rotting away. Money sat there is unbelievable
I know I need a bit of a clear-out at home but how ever do people get into this kind of state?
Yeah mate same as that, and I thought I’d accumulated lots of crap over the years 😂
The orange capri got me thinking i remember being bout 19 banging some ones door for it £300 they said there be happy with it sat there years after as i never brought it , bet it got scraped
Now that capri is a bit special 😍 but that blue escort wow I’d donate organs to own one
Whoever owns those cars can’t care about them otherwise they wouldn’t be letting them rot outside like that. There’s historically important cars there. So sad. Thanks for the video it’s superb 👍
I might go back and knock on the door.
My dad would love this! Where abouts do you go exploring? I want to take my dad out! Thanks Jerry
Around Wales is the best place to go.
Orange crappy had a roll bar, probably had engine mods
Amazing find, what a waste! Great content, you must have invested in bramble proof trousers 👍 worth a door knock, the owner might want to sell some of them….
Yer I might go back and give the door a knock
It’s so sad to see all those Cement Mixers just rotting away among all that other Junk… Heartbreaking.
😄
If I started filling my garden with old fridges and washing machines the neighbours would soon complain and the council would have me remove them. Then you get these yards out in the sticks full of scrap, plastics and hazardous substances that have been there 40 years or more leaking into the ground and the water system.
The escorts were cool , but I’d take the 2 corsairs given the chance
Very nice cars
I would give a 100 grand for the lot even if it takes years to pick through that lot amazing find
People like that annoy me, why, just why do they leave these old cars to just rot away, if they're not interest in them Anymore just send them go to auction and let other people with amazing skills restore them or at least do something with them.
Same mate, I would love any of them cars.
We’d all like to see them saved and under cover etc, you do also have to appreciate this guy has bought them and stored them away from the scrap man and banger idiots , he obviously loves old cars, just think they almost definitely wouldn’t be around had he not collected them, could be better kept yes but we’d all like massive sheds eh?
need to save it
possibly adapt focus drivetrain in.
possible rally car.2002 double overhead cam 4. 5 speed. 16inch wheels. front rear swaybars. sunroof.
15:45 - I think those are Corsairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they are
Cortina GT MK3 love it please gift it to me lol
If Reg No is original that is a Gloucestershire number.Probably supplied by Victory Motors Cheltenham or Taylors of Gloucester....(now called Bristol Street Motors)......
Wow I used to work at Taylors of Gloucester back in 1989.
That red toolbox on the Triumph looked brand new. It looked like one of those really cheapo toolkits that you wouldn't mind leaving behind if you had to. I suspect a few bits are going to go missing on the poor old Fords in the very near future. It's a sad situation when you have places like these, where the owners probably refuse to sell anything when asked, but also never do anything with it and let it all rot. Eventually these places attract the explorers, the thieves and the vandals. Sadly, places and cars like this rarely have a happy ending...that P100 and a couple of those Mk1 shells didn't look too bad either. Lots of other interesting stuff hoarded away there too.
Do you know if anyone has ever spoke to the landowner?
I am going back to ask about the cars and see if they are for sale.
Are those cars in the west country
What is the story with this place? I have seen it get explored by many youtube channels.. Is the owner deceased? not willing to sell? Whats going on?
Where on earth would one start trying to sort that lot out. I suppose you would need space beside to start digging in with extended forks. I can imagine there being an absolute fortune in there with that cortina fetching over 5K as it is.
He obviously doesn't need the money.
@@jerryexplores7587 Maybe he’s old and lost interest a few years back. That said it doesn’t look like there was any organisation when putting everything there in the first place.
19.28 are corsairs
Fancy walking on the wrong side of the road. Are you there legally?
30years ago u had to pay the scrapyards to take your car away thats why they were abandoned in places such as this. 😢
Wow !! What a find. You need to save them. At least speak to the owner
Do you know who owns the place or if anyone lives there?
I think an old chap lives there 🤔
Unbelievable, what is going to be done with them ?? Did you get permission if so are you going to get the cars moved on , such a waste just rotting there 😢
Why don't yer give em a knock or leave a note?
I'm going back Thursday, so I will.
Who else in the comments here is knocking the door to buy and save them then?
What a waste.is it an old scrappy
What a waste
wow wow wow such a waste
