The VXR was an easy spot. They didn’t make a 5dr VXR. It was proper Barry’d up too.
Just about to say adsatly the same , I've had both a vxr and a 1.9 CDTi elite and that was an elite as it was only model to have crome trim round the windows my vxr was an early 1 an 05 and the Elite a 58 plate.
@jeremywentworth1833 some vxr had chrome trim mine did
I want the seats 😂
@@samrobinson9254 as much as wanting low miles engine for my renault trafic would have front seats from the range rover or bmw x5 ....love to find some where like this to explore...
Just out of curiosity I ran the number plate LP14RYX shown on a detached front bumper assembly at 6:50 through the DVLA checker and this relates to a 3.0 liitre diesel Mercedes E-class whose tax disc expired on 13 October 2023 and has a valid MoT, which it passed two weeks ago without advisories expiring on 27 September 2024. In other words, it has appeared at that old tram depot and has been completely dismantled in the last 2 weeks. I can only think of one obvious explanation for that and that is criminal activity.
Or had had a replacement bumper from these probably breaking cars
@@pk93covWhat with the Reg Plate on it's old Bumper they usually take the Reg off and put it back onto the Car unless it has been damaged
Could well be a ringer
Something similar was discovered near me a few years back. The site was traveller owned & contained very expensive cars, with all the ID numbers removed.
You caught some illegal fly tippers mate
That was my initial thought
Yep! Should report them for fly tipping.
And They'll Be Back For The Campervans In The Dead Of Night, They won't Be There Long Know They Have Started Dumping Across The Road Know
That's the Essex boys seized cars Colin they land rovers and the st fords
Oh, crickey, they are pikeys
I'd say based off the writing and numbers on them they're probably auction vehicles that the owner of them probably parts out or maybe did at one point. A chop shop would cut them up and send them out quickly.
Hey Beardy, welcome to Gosport! I went in recently and was asked to leave by the driver of a car which unexpectedly arrived. He was polite and reasonable. Site is historic and listed. Current use of it seems very strange.
I'm guessing these were all bought at auction as crash damaged or write offs and then stripped and part sold.
Saw this covered by Vacant Haven last Sunday, although it was a lot quieter explore for them. Maybe you hit it on a weekday when the area was busy with workers at nearby sites?. Could be an innocent operation, a few of those cars had panel damage and writing on the screens which suggest copart style auctions or insurance salvage as a source. I think the place is too open for nefarious activity, you were only there for half an hour and people were constantly around.
Yes me too. The crime suggestion sounded a possibility to me
Heya guys such a great video and wow!... those people turning up like that.. vacant haven did this place also.... I think the truth is that this place was being used to store stolen vehicles... before they were shipped abroad... being slowly broken down for thr bits... but very very good video.... thank you sooo soo much:,:)
saw these on vacant haven earlier this week
That place has got gypos written all over it.
Totally agree and I bet they are in cohouts with some other wayward chaps , those caravans have Traveller written all over them ,
Good video Colin 😎
I wonder if it was used for train storage or something before ?
I do agree its a very interesting place though 🤜🤛
Look like old Tram sheds. The rails are the wrong gauge for trains.
@@WestYorkshireGuy1 To be honest I was thinking that but obviously I don't where this is in the country and whether they still run trams there.
But good answer 👍
This is was a ww2 gun boat repair yard the tram lines were used to haul the boats from the water way in to 1 of 10 sheds/bays
@@dorsetstealthcamping7500 Thanks for the info 🍻
Look to be accident damage or stolen recovered. Doesn't look dodgy to me. A lot have that yellow marker pen indicative of salvage vehicles.
Those Range Rovers are worth scrap value at best. Not a single one there worth more than 7K, assuming they were decent runners. But I suspect they are all insurance write offs.
Colin the only thing I can think of is stolen recovery breakers yard not quite sure ask for the VXR some joker I have RS 300 trophy MC 19 plated I know about RS cars a mine is a very quick car all the best as always great video watch out for the bad guys take care stay safe Tony and Helen❤❤
They have an e wrote on the windows of the cars which means category e insurance write off, stolen recovered.
Great vid guys....hope you got out ok 🙂
The silver Focus ST hasn’t been MOT’d or taxed since 2018. Done over 100,000 miles. Maybe bought for scrap.
Great explore. But if this was a scrap yard , they didn't scrap much ? Did they. I doubt it was legitimate
That’s a proper chop shop.
Don’t think they did a five door vxr! Could be wrong!
something very strange about that silver ST, DVLA say its silver MOT check says it's green. You can clearly see it has been ultimate green on the edge of the quarter panel and the front radiator support. But ST's never came in green,
They did, it was a colour option along with the usual silver, blue and orange.
Vinyl wrapped before hence why never changed with DVLA perfectly legal
@@pk93cov still have to declare a colour change to the DVLA though which would make these records correct.
@@Smithy1789 not for wraps as they are temporary coverings.
@@markashman816 not sure tbh.
Some cool cars Colin ....but that place feels all wrong not sure why ......looking forward to next time
my money is on that place being a cut and shut place if you know what I mean I bet some would be classed as stolen
Well if they're all stolen atleast the Police have some nice fingerprints now to look at 😂
Good find but them range rovers are worth 6-8k nowhere near 20k there old now.
Some go for £1,500 and even less. The air suspension is a fortune to fix and goes wrong far too much. 👍
@cpyart I was talking more about the V8 version but yes the smaller engine ones do go cheap
@@CJRSBK you'll get a V8 for £1,500 in Lincolnshire. It'll cost you £1.500 a year to keep it going because they are crap once they get a bit of use. 👍
Wow that was getting more than a bit sketchy.. I agree it seems a bit of a chop shop with all the Range Rovers…
With every single car related channel now seemingly sponsored by Car Vertical I'm sure somebody has the connections to do a check on a random vehicle registration to see if it's flagged as stolen.
You need to notify the cops.
Saw this site before with vacant haven as they visit the place. Good video too
hope you informed the police they can check the reg of the cars you shown
I have seen a few cars id love to get hold of
@6:50 That Benz passed an MOT test a couple of weeks ago!
A brilliant video guys
Looks like salvage auction cars they were parting out because of the numbers on the side glass!
They're not expensive you can pick they range rovers up for pennies ..same with the old bmws and the focus St's
There all in there to get broken up for parts
That silver Merc 64plate is still on the road it’s moted till sept 24
Judging by the chalk writing on the windows I’d assume they have been purchased from copart for breaking etc, I’d even say this was all all legal and aboveboard
Most of them have "E" on them. Export? There was a similar place near me a few years ago where some Eastern Europeans had been chopping up stolen BMW's for export, the one that had been there working just disappeared never to be seen again, missing presumed fish food...
4 doors was the giveaway before you even opened the bonnet 🤣
Perhaps inform the Police. Looks dodgy to me. Great content Colin
What a good fine I wonder if these cars are Stolen
They are all from copart
Looks like a knarchers yard 😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly love your videos! Keep up the good work! I wanna rescue one of these someday
Range rover twenty grand lol, that's a 5 grand car sir. The first giveaway with the astra not being a vxr was the extra doors at the back
Hey bearded explorer did you do a reg check on any of them cars? The fake vxr tax ran out in 2020 as where the mot ran out in 2023. But cool find. Keep on exploring. ✌️
Hi Colin another great video and oh my god that all looked very dodgy!!!! I agree with you it looked like a chop shop. But what a brilliant load of cars,alot of money in one old shed.The messing about with the head was hilarious nice one Colin. I felt worried for you just watching,people who run these sort of places can be abit nasty. Glad you got out,look forward to next weeks thrilling installment of the adventures of Bearded Explorer. Lol!! Take care.😀
That's my range rover v8 wow that was sold 4yrs ago ha , I seen the car then reg and was like wow that's my car that was on the road fully running well.. what's that yard your at
Never made vxr in 4 door, the rr sport is worth £6k if it was mint, and the 52plate iveco camper is worth around 7k max, is this video from like 10 years ago ?
Love it when you find cars! Glad you got out of there safely!
Cool video, I’m like yourself there seems something fishy going on stolen or repo and parts then sold possibly abroad 😊
It would be interesting to know when this was recorded as that 14 plate e class only got an mot two weeks ago. Unless it’s on false plates.
Hi Colin & Ben. Hope you guys are doing good.
I can't believe there's a Mercedes Benz 500SL just sitting there rotting away like that. What a shame.
It's a good thing you two got out of there in time.
I loved the video.
Take care and stay safe.
hello
@@LostAdventuresExploring Hi.
@@LostAdventuresExploring Hi. How's it going?
all good thanks 😁@@FRFRANKIE
they robbed or Repo carshow they left don't Get it
I see most of the cars are untaxed and without MOT’s. The fake Astra VXR was the only one I checked where it was last taxed in 2020 with the MOT running out in April this year. My guess it’s either a chop shop or could it have been a police impound yard? Impound yards usually take the vehicles away for crushing though.
Yup. Chop shop. All stolen.
Comes back as a 1.8 astra design
“VXR”
Been abandoned like this since 2019 or 2020
Those Focus STs, providing they run well, are worth a bit of money now. All fast Fords will be eventually. Shame to see those cars in that state. Great video.
Old Ford’s never die they get faster !
I seen this the other day good find
The big giveaway should have been the fact they didn’t do a 5 door Astra VXR 🤣🤣🤣
Yea Nice Vauxhall VXR although no Turbo it has a cold air. Intake. Those Ford Focus ST’s are nice 👍. I like the Range Rovers…. But that Benz the Silver one is nice… I like those Minis as well now all those cars are just basically a gold mine if you ask Me Colin nice video 🙌🙌👏👏👍👍😎😎
I'm sat looking at the MOTs for a few of these and it gets even weirder. Rolled back milage and some of them still apparently on the road in 2022 onwards
All that junk is insurance write offs. You can tell by the yellow writing on them. Nothing of any real value, mainly scrappers.
Saw this on another fellas channel cant remember his name though lol
VacantHaven
How sad to see all those cars just left there especially the ford focus st i need some bits of them for mine lol 😆
Great find Colin, glad you got out of there bad vibes x them people probably fly tipping x stay safe x
Hi Colin another great explored, I got a feeling these cars had been dumped there and not abandoned like in your other explorers. You did make me laugh when you scare your mate. 😂😂😂 glad you got out of there before being caught.
Seen this before according to what I read it's a stolen recovered why they've seemingly been abandoned though don't know
You absolute mad man 😶🌫
Thats the Essex boys seized cars landrovers and st fords
Yeah, when land is that easily accessible, crime will happen, fly tippers for sure, a chop shop, I would report both to the police. Both are by horrible individuals that blight our country. Keep safe, probably some nasty people involved in the car chopping
Vacant haven did this one, it’s always nice to see it from another explorers perspective. Can’t believe all these cars just left. Thanks Collin xx
Looks like gypsie territory...lucky you did not get caught there..
I checked a few car reg's and none of them have been reported stolen - so I reckon these are insurance write off's and they are selling the parts. Still an interesting find though!
Keep up the good work always watch your your channel how about a few explorers around Southampton I especially like the trucks and cars😁 from Theresa and mark
Definitely not a stolen car garage none have been reported stolen so it looks like they bought them to break and ship over seas worth good money doing it that way
I was thinking some storage place for an auction place for repo vehicles/items etc. Who knows unless the owner of the yard comes forward.
I watched this the other day on Vacant Haven and there was so many ideas thrown out there.
Hi dave..its feels like gone in 60 sec
looks like a cool place
that is no scrap yard the range rover was mint and had no damage the number plates come back funny and the rest of the land looks like fly tipping ITS A CHOP SHOP
The st has the turbo boost guage top centre of dash just saying from North of Newcastle 🇬🇧 great video 📹
Got the hit on location, took me 10mins I'm getting slow, well done on 200k great videos
I reckon it was a chop shop and the police got in voled
Thats a dodgy place that. Ford kuga sat there with a front smashed window. And a taxi. Looks where you'd dump a stolen car or whatnot. Would love a look myself like. Wouldnt touch anything tho
I see it yesterday from a different person he must have told you straight after
When you were running up the stairs to hide the Sweeney tv theme came into my head! Loved that bit!! Some good cars spotted there, another sad case of the forgotten cars.
Great video buddy 👍 but can't help but feel like this is something to do with police or at least used to be
I think there is something very dodgy here some of them parts in the background are near new 2017 cars and one of the focus its MOT expired in 2018
i seen another youtube looking in this same place im sure he tried the doors of the blue astra vxr and they were locked
The focus was never recorded as stolen, but has a marker for scrapped for destruction with certificate issued in feb 2024, so my guess is it was a legit operation
That's a chop shop. Needs reporting to the police mate.
nice find i could do with a renault trafic my van done over 180.000 and getting tired could do with engine with bit more life...
A little out on estimated values…. Those mid 00s RRs arnt worth much sub 10k running
Majority of cars there not worth much, and the fact the Astra was a 5 door was a dead giveaway considering they never did a 5 door VXR. Those Range Rovers are worth nowhere near what you're saying.
Last focus st was an st3 with leather seats
All mainly scrap them cars, them older range rovers are worth so little that when they give big expensive problems their not worth fixing and get scrapped
The 14 plate Mercedes seems to be fixed up and sorted out now! It's not long just passed MOT, isn't taxed.. super interesting 🧐
The Range Rover you said is worth 20k more like 2.5/3k
That VXR's big give away was the 4 doors
Grand Tour (Top Gear) food. 👍
VacantHaven did a video on this place
Its an old police recovery warehouse. Not hard to find out
nothing there to shout about range rovers can pick them up for a grand them minis aren't worth a lot either
When you say you have to be careful is that because you are trespassing by any chance.
