Most of the tires are pumped up a lot of the cars look rather clean for being an abandoned building. My best guess is that this is storage for a person’s collection.
It's mighty strange that those high-value cars are simply left without any form of Security. My biggest worry - is vandalism / arson. It could easily happen, and somebody needs to take responsibility for all of that valuable history. I am thinking that this is a Deceased Estate, with nobody caring like the true Owner did!
@@peterduxbury927 When he mentions several cars that a mate of his owns 'just like this' makes you think that his "mate" is well aware of this collection and is keeping his feelers out. Tipped off his "mate" to see what exactly was here. BUT: he shows Arabic puzzle boxes which would explain a lot... Owner and family no longer in the UK and this is simply what they moved out of. Hope they get revived and restored soon. There are some very desirable motors there. A Koweit person's garage in the UK and it's been abandoned around the time of the Invasion of Irak on Koweit in the 90's and left alone ever since ?
If you hop on to Julian's Flickr account you will see a lot of these cars, real shame that there left to die like this, only real positive is that the public now know about them and surely they will go to auction at some stage, very impressive. Merc or Bentley ?? what would you choose
We're all sat here, utterly gobsmacked! That is the Ultimate Barn Find. That Nardi Silver Ray alone - unique! You know, like if you'd found a load of lost masterpieces stored from WW2, these incredible machines need to be saved for the nation! Beaulieu? Someone needs to rescue these and get them out there for the world to enjoy again. What a video!! Well done BE Team!
Abandoned barn find? cars with barely any birdshit, or dust, barn and cars very clean?, I doubt it.. more than likely, owner allowed this shoot to go ahead with his blessings.. 🙂🙂
I agree, I would not trespass such as this, without the expectation of getting shot. They do not show how they actually got in. Thinking staged, and note this; you park your vehicle for 6 months, spider webs everywhere
Seriously impressive find this week. Well done, Colin. The silver sports car at the 20 minute mark appears to be a late 1930s Alfa Romeo 6c (possibly a 2300 MM) and is megabucks. The two early Bentleys that were side by side look like 1920s 3 Litre models and I know someone who just paid £250,000 for one. I think the red Frazer Nash is an Arnott body car, so one of two sounds right. I appreciate that you delayed showing this and the collection is safe. I hope it can come to market one day and these important cars can see the light of day again.
That is the nardi silver ray which is now owned by a guy who probably owns all of those cars his name is Julian majzub he was reported to own since 2013
This feels like a video commissioned ahead of a potential sale or auction. Something to create viral interest. No less appealing for that, but something doesn't ring true - much like the Bristol video from some years ago.
Agreed. Some other people are talking in the background, at the begionning of the video (while looping around the building). This is all scripted.... Nevertheless... Here is that Nardi Silver Ray !
Yeah right - crashing about in the undergrowth and trying to break in?? Finds a magic way in without explanation? Cars in clean condition and pretty well looked after? Sorry, not your “discovery” - clearly given permission to be there and clearly a phoney video.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it Colin, but those vintage cars with the brass date plaque are registered as Veteran Car Club vehicles hence the V.C.C
This looks like a setup. No one leaves this amount and caliber of cars a abandoned. There would be heirs all over this. 14:16 or did this collection belong to a Sheik? EDIT. I’m not too far off… the Nardi Silver Ray was last known to be owned by classic car collector Julian Mazjub as of 2013. His father was a top guy with the Shah of Iran.
Thank you for sharing this and giving us the opportunity to see these beautiful machines. This place seriously needs guarding until they are moved or secured up correctly before any wrong ones work out where this place is (now that’s it’s all over the internet) if they are stolen or the place ends up burnt down, that’s a lot of history gone. Please tell us you have tried to find whoever owns this place to advise they fully secure it 🙏
I do not think they are forgotten, some of engines being worked on are too clean , I think the collector is probably quite old and still tinkers with his one of kind collection collection . Nardi silver ray was reportedly sold to a 'well known' British collector . I hope nobody with less scruples than yourselves become aware of the location of such a wonderful collection that obviously lacks security.
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse You’re completely correct in that statement, I don’t disagree at all. I was thinking more towards….IF….. the cars are genuinely abandoned of course 👍
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse I’m sure someone knows, and may have directorship over their future. Taking the legalities of access into the building etc off the table, my view is only really discussing the ability of saving the vehicles going forward. I understand that there are many opinions…. The principal aim of my initial conversation was for the preservation of the vehicles. I think that’s what is inspiring us all here
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse Well I guess the guys involved made the choice to take that risk of reprisals…. Let’s see what the future of this story is….. Good chat 👍
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse the cars are being looked after,there's no way in now that the backs been sealed up,apparently they are being moved to a new place in Sussex in the next few days. A new security firm are also patrolling so I have been told.
Someone already mentioned Julian Majzub below as the owner of the Nardi, as of 2013. (It would also tie in with the jigsaws in Arabic, as he is Iranian). I think he also has connections with VSCC, which some of these cars are showing a plaque. Why on earth these are in thus state is surprising . He is alive and well.
and if he is alive and well, he probably won't be that happy that someone has accessed his workshop and filmed his cars! As someone else wrote... they don't look abandoned, they are far too clean. My car looks dustier than some of these after a winter in the garage.
A wonderful and amazing explore as ever Colin - thank you. With very little research, I found who these cars belonged to and so where they are located and if I can do this, anyone can. Please do whatever it takes to protect these rare and unique cars from the inevitable vandalism which will follow.
I have watched endless barn finds, storage units with lots of vehicles found ... but ... this is the BEST I have ever seen for variety, age, rarity, condition etc of vehicles. some looked more clean than others, I wonder if someone works on some of those cars every now and then. Looking at the outside doors you found looks like the steel plate there had been a tempted forced entry ... those stinging nettles are a great guard as you found out. Really good explore ... thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks.
The red car was build by Horace A Richards in 1952 formula 2 racing car,he originated from Smethwick where he built the car based on a Riley if that helps
Truly amazing Collin I’ve watched the channel for several years and look forward to what you bring each week this one is mind blowing to believe that has been left abandon hopefully they will be looked after again one day
Hi Guys what an absolute GEM of a find.Those cars are amazing and really need to be saved and some put in a museum. The others restored and driven,value must be totally off the scale. Your excitement and joy in seeing those cars was great to listen too,great commentary Colin and I agree you are never going to beat this video.Still looking forward to next weeks.Take care.😀
What an unbelievable collection of rare cars ! l I have been into restoring Vintage/Classic cars since 1970 and this is the tops. It's not all about what they are worth, it's about saving them for the future. Thanks for uploading.
I found a very similar barn full of amazing but more neglected cars in Brazil a few years ago. We did a shot every time you said spider. It's going to take us some time to get all the way through. 😎
Does the name Julian Mazjub fit into this story ? He's the last known owner of the Nardi Silver Ray according to reports. He also has a huge car collection.You should have checked to see if it had the Plymouth V8 engine or was being reunited with the original V12 Alfa Romeo engine that the chassis is rumoured to have been built with. Apparently Mr Mazjub bought the engine back in the late 90's from or thru Simon Kidston as Nardi's daughter still had in in her basement. Seriously rare and extensively history'd car !
Yes,this is simply a storage for some of his extra cars.I saw a Brabham in there that he owned,and obviously still does. I think we've been part of a marketing scam.
It would be interesting to find the current owner of this barn. He might not know about it. However , to break in such a place without permission of the current owner is not really a good example to others. 😮😮😮
Nardi Silver Ray "In 2012, the car was later transported to New Jersey and carefully placed within a shipping container, while keeping its ultimate European destination undisclosed."
Something drastic has happened for sure , maybe the owner is off his feet or worse , he must be the owner of the shed though I’d imagine otherwise it would have been opened and emptied already.
The tiny metallic-blue Racing Car is ( I think) a Vanwall from the 1960s. I'm certain that Dinky Toys modelled this car way back then. What an interesting place, and many questions are left unanswered. Why all of the Spanners on the floor? Somebody left in a hurry.
The unknown sports car is a Bocar. Not a leader, made in USA. Red Frazer-Nash is also a 1 off. Yellow coupe is Lancia Aurelia. yes it is the real Nardi too.
That is indeed a BMW 503. They only built 274 coupes in total (and 139 convertibles), so it's a rare car already and who knows how many exist in RHD? Couple of £100k right there. The Bristol early on is also BMW-based and Frazer Nash was an importer of BMWs to the UK, subsequently often badged Frazer Nash-BMW.
Did the plate give it away, or?... because if I owned a BMW 503 and wanted to spend thousands on private plates and they were already taken, I'd definately settle for 3200CS...[smashes head into desk repeatedly]
What a Location, and collection of Cars. Wouldn't describe myself as a Petrol Head, but I was certainly taken with that collection. Great upload as always, Colin. Looking forward to the next one.
Not a single flat tire... Very strange for "abandoned" cars... What would be interesting is to look for chassis-numbers or evidences on the Nardi Silver Ray, to find out if it is made of parts of the lost/missing Alpha Romeo 412 Spider Vignale... Really incredible, that such a rarity (only one prototype made) is let to rot...
Wow...what an amazing place 😮. In the photo, The lady in the drivers seat looks like Patricia phoenix who plays Elsie Tanner in coronation Street 😊.keep up with the fabulous vlogs. It's the highlight of my weekend 😊.
How, just how? Surely more than one person knew of this collection before it got abandoned. It baffles me how everyone involved could just forget about them.
The Vulcan in pretty interesting,possibly built before 1914. Vulcan supplied a lot of trucks during WW1. They were eventually taken over by the tilling Stevens group which was taken over by the Rootes group who then manufactured thev TS3 diesel engine for use in trucks and boats. I worked on one in a resto shop about 10 years ago(I think there's a vid on my channel taken of it running. It's very unique now as there can only be 4 left. The Bentley is a 1922 Bentley 3 Litre Chassis No. 50 Engine No. 52 / 358 Registration No. XK 7450 was listed by Bonhams in 2007 . car @20:02 is a Alfa replica and the one at 20:40 is a Fresia D'oro The First Italian cars to have US V8 Engines were the Dual Ghia, which had Chrysler Hemi engines. 26:31, Could be a devin body,possibly on an Ford V8 Chassis. The Engine is a chev V8,with the Quad manifold made by Man-A-fre ,in California . Those are Chev Rochester carbs,not webers. .Could be early V8 Corvette . They are still in business in Las Vegas,NV and are the Worlds oldest Toyota Dealership . Little Yellow car is a Lancia ...very desirable. 28:50 Mercedes 300B 1955. i have one in my shop right now.
Truly breathtaking is an understatement, that’s definitely the one-off Nardi Silver Ray, unique and priceless. What an incredible discovery that collection is!
Wow! My jaw is on the floor! The race car at 12.17 is a Brabham BT21, 1966 and probably has some serious racing pedigree. I'd love to know the backstory and what happens with all these beautiful cars. What a find!
Hi Colin. Hope your doing well. That video absolutely blew me away. Those are the most beautiful cars ever. I hope they can get all of them back to running condition. I loved the video. Sorry i wasn't able to donate this week. Hopefully next week. Stay safe and take care.
The finds here were beyond interesting such a mysterious place where you could normally only imagine dreaming about let alone see in reality. Then i rewound the Nardi discovery about 3 times and even tried to get my wife to Get excited about. As i write this im totally captivated by it. Boy oh boy how i would love to know who owns the barn ,these cars and how they came to own them. First thing I would do is write them a letter.
What an amazing find Colin, but honestly it makes me sick how people can just walk away from their automobiles like this. The owner has probably passed away and their family members probably have no interest in the barn. Not knowing what the contents is in the barn.
Bonjour, chers explorateurs. Bravo pour votre découverte. Vraiment une des plus belles "barn find discoveries" que j'aies pu voir à ce jour. Votre vidéo m'a rappelé le jour où j'ai découvert la collection Dovaz, quand elle avait été déplacée à côté de Cahors, au château de Folmont. Merci pour cette émotion. Reste à découvrir le reste de l'histoire. A mon avis, votre vidéo va faire le tour des médias spécialisés et on va redécouvrir tous ces véhicules lors de ventes aux enchères... où des rapaces vont en profiter...
Pretty sure thats a 63-64 Lotus indy car or a replica done well. Along with some early indy cars later in the vid. That is definitely the Nardi... All vehicles are rare lol This is a very good top pocket find man! Get yourself Jay Leno and ask for a finders fee of 10%-20% and youll come out well. These have been sitting since late 2000s-early 2010s most likely, just totally untouched. Do get on it mate. These need to leave here or the whole place maintained as a museum. Just wow! Awesome job man!🤘🤘
Hi Colin what a fantastic video wow those cars are mega rare the Red Alfa Romeo is a Giuletta sprint speciale, the yellow Lancia is an Aurelia B20 GT, and the other Lancia is a Flaminna Zagato sport, what an amazing collection I hope they are saved ! Thanks for all your great videos mate 🙂
@27:42 That is a 56-59 Chevrolet Corvette "The body so heavily modified I cant tell year" with a 327ci V8, 4 Rochester 2 barrel carbs. Original engine would have been 283ci. The car has custom bodywork done on front and rear. Maybe other custom body touches but the basis of the original body is there.
I was looking at the Silver Ray and its last owner was "a well know UK based collector" who got it "some years" after the 80s. I'm guessing that the same guy owns it now. Hopefully, he doesn't forget bout these cars and they do return to the road.
What a cool collection of very rare cars Colin m8 ...you certainly find the places and the cars .... Awesome but which one given the chance would you drive away ??
What an epic warehouse find! Some amazing cars in there! That red racecar towards the end maybe a Cheetah. Powered by the legendary small block Chevrolet V8! Seeing all of those highly collectible and desirable cars stashed away in a private warehouse is incredibly amazing! Seeing those boxes of stuff in Arabic, makes me wonder if the owner is part of a wealthy Saudi oil family. They have so much money that they could easily have that many cars in a neglected warehouse, in a foreign country!
You'll never top that find, mate! It should be a crime to abandon those cars.
Most of the tires are pumped up a lot of the cars look rather clean for being an abandoned building. My best guess is that this is storage for a person’s collection.
Agreed
It's mighty strange that those high-value cars are simply left without any form of Security. My biggest worry - is vandalism / arson.

These cars definitely belong in a museum. Brilliant video mate. Love Saturday evenings to watch your channel.
Mueum? No! Get them running again and use them.
Any alarms or cctv ? Strange, these classic cars were left here 🤔 they need to go to a motor museum before they rot completely
You’d think it was an abandoned museum with all those old rare cars. The history alone says everything. One of my favourite car videos. Thanks guys
That is the nardi silver ray which is now owned by a guy who probably owns all of those cars his name is Julian majzub he was reported to own since 2013

Amazing finds just cant believe treasures like this are just sitting in barns. I found that Julian Majzub owned a Silver Ray up to 2013 in the UK.
Your channel is getting better and better mate ❤
Definatly looks like a silver ray, apparently Julian majzub brought it to the UK, might be worth dropping him an email to get more info
Im so glad how respectful you are with them cars i really hope they get saved😢
The red Fraser nash is very clean and shiny…. Doesn’t look like it’s been there long!
Sure i have seen that in an early 1950s b/w british film
What a wicked find, those Bentleys were beautiful.
What a stunning discovery. Along with many of your finds I find it amazing that family members don't seem to know about these abandoned places.
Doesn't really look abandoned, other than a bit of roof insulation fallen it all looks pretty tidy. My garage has more dust than this shed
It would be interesting to find the current owner of this barn. He might not know about it. However , to break in such a place without permission of the current owner is not really a good example to others. 😮😮😮
I recognise some of these cars and number plates. I believe they were in a museum and must be temporary storage for some reason.
Nardi Silver Ray "In 2012, the car was later transported to New Jersey and carefully placed within a shipping container, while keeping its ultimate European destination undisclosed."

And the man looks like Henry Cooper (former boxer)
I thought that too
Some body owns them who's kidding who!!
Not a single flat tire... Very strange for "abandoned" cars...
What would be interesting is to look for chassis-numbers or evidences on the Nardi Silver Ray, to find out if it is made of parts of the lost/missing Alpha Romeo 412 Spider Vignale...

Engine No. 52 / 358
Registration No. XK 7450 was listed by Bonhams in 2007 .
car @20:02 is a Alfa replica and the one at 20:40 is a Fresia D'oro
The First Italian cars to have US V8 Engines were the Dual Ghia, which had Chrysler Hemi engines.
26:31, Could be a devin body,possibly on an Ford V8 Chassis. The Engine is a chev V8,with the Quad manifold made by Man-A-fre ,in California . Those are Chev Rochester carbs,not webers. .Could be early V8 Corvette . They are still in business in Las Vegas,NV and are the Worlds oldest Toyota Dealership .
Little Yellow car is a Lancia ...very desirable.
28:50 Mercedes 300B 1955. i have one in my shop right now.
Truly breathtaking is an understatement, that’s definitely the one-off Nardi Silver Ray, unique and priceless. What an incredible discovery that collection is!
Wow! Amazing find 😮. Crazy to see all those abandoned cars. Big thumbs up 👍 Have a lovely weekend ❤
Do a land registry search of the address for £3, find out who owns the building, get in touch and start the ball rolling to get these cars saved.
What an amazing bunch of vintage cars. They are absolutely beautiful. This was a great find, thank you for sharing. ❤
What a unbelievable, amazing collection hopefully all of these amazing classic vehicles could be saved
Now My Bearded Friend this video Is a keeper, those classics can be saved once with the right people 😎👍
Yep definitely a Nadia Silver Ray..👌👌👌
Wow! My jaw is on the floor! The race car at 12.17 is a Brabham BT21, 1966 and probably has some serious racing pedigree. I'd love to know the backstory and what happens with all these beautiful cars. What a find!
18:14 this is a 1 of 2 Frazer Nash Continental. Google shows it at Silverstone in 2009. It doesn't appear that it has sat that long in this shed.
I couldn’t do this, too much of the little bits of memorabilia would go home with me 😂
Mazjub collection
Only part of it
Hi guys, that car is the Nardi silver ray , only one car built , American V8, and made in 1960 👍. Great show guys 👍👍😉😉
Hi Colin. Hope your doing well.
That video absolutely blew me away.
Those are the most beautiful cars ever. I hope they can get all of them back to running condition.
I loved the video.
Sorry i wasn't able to donate this week. Hopefully next week.
Stay safe and take care.
Thank you Frank I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
@@TheBeardedExplorer Your welcome Colin.
It's just standing there in the middle of the forest. Amazing.
The finds here were beyond interesting such a mysterious place where you could normally only imagine dreaming about let alone see in reality. Then i rewound the Nardi discovery about 3 times and even tried to get my wife to Get excited about. As i write this im totally captivated by it. Boy oh boy how i would love to know who owns the barn ,these cars and how they came to own them. First thing I would do is write them a letter.
What an amazing find Colin, but honestly it makes me sick how people can just walk away from their automobiles like this. The owner has probably passed away and their family members probably have no interest in the barn. Not knowing what the contents is in the barn.
Smells like the owner let you in with a set of keys … nonetheless impressive cars
Who ever owned these has passed and everything forgotten how sad.
Beautiful cars some one loved these would really love the back story.
Thank you
Wow Colin & Tazer,that is one cool car collection, sad that they are being left to rot.
Bonjour, chers explorateurs. Bravo pour votre découverte. Vraiment une des plus belles "barn find discoveries" que j'aies pu voir à ce jour. Votre vidéo m'a rappelé le jour où j'ai découvert la collection Dovaz, quand elle avait été déplacée à côté de Cahors, au château de Folmont.
Merci pour cette émotion.
Reste à découvrir le reste de l'histoire.
A mon avis, votre vidéo va faire le tour des médias spécialisés et on va redécouvrir tous ces véhicules lors de ventes aux enchères... où des rapaces vont en profiter...
What a fantastic find and incredibly all the tyres seem to be still holding air.
Wow!! I do remember years ago going to a farm type place where the guy restored old cars and it was a lot like this place.
Wow, what a great find & video, keep up the great work.
Pretty sure thats a 63-64 Lotus indy car or a replica done well. Along with some early indy cars later in the vid. That is definitely the Nardi... All vehicles are rare lol This is a very good top pocket find man! Get yourself Jay Leno and ask for a finders fee of 10%-20% and youll come out well. These have been sitting since late 2000s-early 2010s most likely, just totally untouched. Do get on it mate. These need to leave here or the whole place maintained as a museum. Just wow! Awesome job man!🤘🤘
That's some collection colin amazing discovery let's hope they all get saved one day.
Glad to meet you briefly at buckfast rail trust today , 👍🙂
You too buddy 🙂
Hi Colin what a fantastic video wow those cars are mega rare the Red Alfa Romeo is a Giuletta sprint speciale, the yellow Lancia is an Aurelia B20 GT, and the other Lancia is a Flaminna Zagato sport, what an amazing collection I hope they are saved ! Thanks for all your great videos mate 🙂
The red one with the Reg starting 80 is a Frazer Nash. Old British car maker mainly racing cars
@27:42 That is a 56-59 Chevrolet Corvette "The body so heavily modified I cant tell year" with a 327ci V8, 4 Rochester 2 barrel carbs. Original engine would have been 283ci. The car has custom bodywork done on front and rear. Maybe other custom body touches but the basis of the original body is there.
No it's a Bocar XP5
Cheers from Romania! Awesome find! Hard to explain in words...omg😮
Thats a once in a lifetime find for sure :o) Cheers for sharing mate !
I was looking at the Silver Ray and its last owner was "a well know UK based collector" who got it "some years" after the 80s. I'm guessing that the same guy owns it now. Hopefully, he doesn't forget bout these cars and they do return to the road.
They aren't forgotten, his Nephew is in charge. As far as I know
The nardi was last owned by Julian majzub so he probably still does.
Fantastic find Colin…..you never fail to disappoint.
Keep up the great work 👍
The BMW is a 503 - very rare
What a cool collection of very rare cars Colin m8 ...you certainly find the places and the cars ....
Awesome but which one given the chance would you drive away ??
What an epic warehouse find! Some amazing cars in there! That red racecar towards the end maybe a Cheetah. Powered by the legendary small block Chevrolet V8! Seeing all of those highly collectible and desirable cars stashed away in a private warehouse is incredibly amazing! Seeing those boxes of stuff in Arabic, makes me wonder if the owner is part of a wealthy Saudi oil family. They have so much money that they could easily have that many cars in a neglected warehouse, in a foreign country!
