The cars Included a very rare Mk1 Ford Capri, Land Rover Defender with a genuine 2000 miles on the clock, a Rover 213 SE and another Land Rover (which sadly wasnt al good but still very rare!!)
And he made a very genuine offer Im please to say he has bought the cars and they are bow being saved! 😁 stay tuned for some future videos coming soon!! 🤞🏽

We all think the same when we see cars abandoned, shouldn’t be outside or even be left there etc, but the truth is things get in the way of life sometimes and usually the owners had good intentions. I parked a car in my garage in October 2015 and it was only meant to be there three months, well it’s still there now. 🤷🏻♂️
but you were smart enough to keep that car out of the weather. You've lost time, but saved money.
And we've all lost time, don't feel especially worse than the rest of us.
That place was once a dairy farm the place where the work bench was what is called a shipin which is an old type milking parlour
Hi Colin, that Fordson will be in hours not mileage on the dashboard, very low hours for that model
i was driving a rover 213 about 25yrs ago......blimey that was a rot-box then.....
The period where rovers were very good....because they were hondas!
Similar to the Honda ballade from the 80's and 90's and they was a cracking little car.
@@robsrcjourney970 Its a rebadged honda with different door cars and seat cloth and wheels nothing else......Certainly far closer than simply similar!
Jointly developed with Honda, the Ballade actually built in the same UK factory. The Rover initially had the same door cards until the 1986 face-lift. Beautifully smooth little Honda EV2 engine.
Hmmm
@@petersimpson5859 they are hondas!...In EVERY way right down to wiring switchgear door locks chassis body press engines boxes etc etc
That Rover should still be a good runner. After all, it's a Honda.
The clock on the tractor records engine hours, not miles.
Please do more content, it's definitely what you do best, the abandoned hotels and stuff aren't the same!
Capri on a G plate, it would be one of the first, made November or December 1968, which makes it a very early pre release model made in Halewood plant in Liverpool, super early model.
Great to see in the description that your friend had bought the cars, looking forward to the follow-up videos.
That white land-rover was registered in 1983 and the last tax was due in 1st August 1986 just 3 year's on the road that is a collector's master piece
It'd be great to find out the chassis number on the Capri and the Series III, from one of the earliest Capris to probably one of the last Series Landies. Judging by the mileage and the tax disc, it must have only been in use for a few months. The Rover SD3 is a very rare spec too, the 213SE was automatic transmission only and not many were produced. My parents had a 213S in the same targa red in 1987 and my first car was a base 1988 213. Such smooth cars to drive.
We’re they using the Honda engine at that time ?
@@johnpeplow3985 the 213 was an all alloy, 12 valve Honda unit (EV2). 1.6 was the Austin S series used in the Maestro and Montego. All used Honda gearboxes apart from the 1.6 auto (ZF I think).
@@petersimpson5859
My mum had a 216S and I loved it! One of the newest cars we had at the time. I got to drive it later on and was always impressed by how it went though by all accounts the 213 wasn't far behind and felt 'livelier' due to being more rev-happy.
I wanted a Vitesse so badly!
That Capri is from 1969
Loved the pre-amble it really helps the viewers enjoyment to know about the back story. Top work 👍
brilliant Colin fingers crossed that you're mate gets the cars would be absolutely brilliant to catch-up on them 👍❤️😎
Yep he was able to buy them all 😎
Fantastic Colin definitely would love to see them in you're future videos brilliant
I've got some genuine new old stock panels for that old 213 rover if your mate is interested
7:50 the ford is registered in march 1969 1.6 petrol it’s been sorn so no info on how long it’s been there but it had a v5c issued in 2012
Thank you Colin. Absolutely great barn find. 👍
I know of someone who has a Rover 213. It belonged to his father and he can’t bring himself to sell it. These cars are very scarce now. There are some great finds there. The Land Rover is a real gem, as is the Mk1 Ford Capri. These vehicles deserve a good future and I hope that the bidding on them is successful.
Awesome Capri and probably right first Capri march 1969 launched to the general public ...great finds and wonder how many more cars were there ...awesome Colin look forward to next time👍💯
Loving the Rover 213 SE. It surely must be the last one left in the world? The sills and floors used to rust terribly so they didn't last long. I sometimes look on TH-cam in the hope of seeing someone restoring either a 213 or 216 but alas no luck.
That's what finally claimed my mum's old 216S.
They do pop up on ebay from time to time but they seem to fetch relatively stiff money when they do.
I'd love one of the really muted shades of paint on one and stick a 1.8 VTEC in it... and maybe a centrifugal charger for good measure 😂
Wasn't the bottom milage just the trip, and the top the actual milage? even so it's an amazing find and In incredible condition for it to be sat for 36 years
That’s what I thought, as everything I know milage at the top, trip at the bottom, if that is the case its 7k milage
Another really good video! The Land Rover outside looks like a late 2A 88". It is well worth saving, simple to work on, parts are easy to find new(or used) and relatively cheap to buy plus they are climbing in value. Someone will snap that S3 Land Rover up very quickly. Cheers!
Yes, black dash panel suggests 69-71 - my favorite LR's
Tractors & Argricultural vehicles don't acumilate milage, they acumilate hours, same with forklift trucks
When it's a tractor. It's not miles on the clock. It's hours.
Wow! The Time Machine. I hope that your bid is successful as it would be a fitting tribute to the previous owner,r.i.p.
A 1969 G Reg Capri wow Rover 213 SE saloon great condition and the white Land Rover 2,056 miles unreal nearly 40 years old top finds mate👍👍👍
Things like that are always nice to find. Even if the land rover isn't mechanically fit, I'm sure if you sold it in parts, there's enough restorers out there that you could get a much larger amount for it like that. The Capri is looking pretty good, considering the age. You can choose several driveline options, depending on how much fabrication you are willing to do. A reinforced front end would probably be necessary if you don't have an aluminum block engine. Very smart looking, as well. I'm not sure about purple being the best colour, however. Great find! If all else fails, you could make a funky sculpture from all that stuff. Lol
Why hello there Rover the 213SE is quite a rare car!
wow what a brilliant selection of vehicles! Dare I say as a tractor enthusiast that Fordson dexta is much rarer that the land rover or Capri simply due to it having so little hours on the clock! I have never seen one with anything less than 600 hours!
Very cool, hopefully we'll see these cars again. I bet Flexiny would have them up and running in no time 😆
The Land Rover A335 LHC was first registered new in 1983 and tax expired 1986, so was only on the road for three years. One owner as only one V5 ever issued in 1983. I reckon I could tell you the original supplying dealer in East Sussex for that vehicle as well. It must be very low mileage and got to be worth saving.
Would that be the Thatched garage
@@gavinmorgan3592 Back in the eighties, most Austin Rover, Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles in East Sussex were supplied by Caffyns. Even the ones sold by smaller franchised garages were via Caffyns. Also, the HC number plate was an Eastbourne registration under the old system.
The cars are getting saved! Yes!
My favourite is definitely the capri.
Sad the capri was parked next to the door.
Amazing as always
You find so many interesting lost vehicles, if only they could tell you their story. I wonder what treasures you will find next! See you next week 👌
hdy770g,1.6 capri,1st reg march 14th 69 sweet car,i had a j reg mk1 1.3gt 2 tone bronze and brown,it used to catch fire alot,
UK sales began in February 1969! Surely one of the first sold.
@@petersimpson5859 & many of those registered during early '69 were assembled at Halewood during August to December 1968, along side the Corsair & MK1 Escort.Ford were very anxious to have as many Capris( 1300,1600& 2000V4& all the different options packs) assembled as possible & be ready for delivery at main & retail dealers ready for going on sale by January 1969. What a great time to buy a exciting new Capri & easy to maintain too!
@@mikemartin2957 it was a far more exciting time for a new car to be released. Imagine ordering an RS3100....
Saw you on the late brakes show👍🏽love your channel🫶🏽
defo looked after there werent any mud in them wheelarches like they were cleaned before storage the tractor is a fordson super dexta around 40 horse power used to own one sad to see it go
That Capri is as old as me! I remember my dad had the same model in the 70's Great finds!✌
What barn finds Colin and that Land Rover will fetch very good money with I'm sure lot's of interest.
The intro music man, couldn't have picked a better track. It gets you ready for a session of exploration 👍
Hi Colin great explore mate shame it wasn't a bit bigger with more vehicles and a abandoned farm house
What a collection of vehicles 👌
I once owned a 1977 Triumph Spitfire that was found in a building. Anything that was rubber had to be replaced. In order to drive it home, a brake line had to be replaced. Drove like a dream! Eventually it was totally restored. I won many a trophy at car shows!
Bearded explorer.
Ye this ford Capri 1.6 or 2.0 l gl glx.
The are built late 1960..one of thirst.
The white Blinkers was not standard.
I believe can be also 2.8 glx
Don't hang me for it 😂
The bearded explorer is the king of genuine UK barn finds 🙇♂️
Great video as always. Still trying to spy one of my old cars in a youtube explore. Was nice meeting you a couple of weeks ago at GR
This is unbelievable Colin. All this has left me speechless.
The mk1 capri is a gem
Great Vlog as always, thanks!!! Please, Please tell me the what music you used at the start.( at 1.04 mins) The one with that mental Moog bassline, I love it so much. Thanks ????
Very nice indeed
I would absolutely love that Rover! It's the SE model aswell 🚘❤️😬
I had a G reg car in 1969.
@thebeardedexplorer i found a compound full of old classic cars near strood in kent been there a few years
Awesome!! 😁
@@TheBeardedExplorer please subscribe to my chanell and i try and get a video up of the cars for you
Crazy indeed, looking at DVLA it appears that the rover was only driven from 88 - 93 then parked up and forgotten. The land rover was only taxed between 83 - 86!
I still vividly remember my cousins parents taking delivery of a brand new white Rover 213 in 1988. My destructive cousin managed to scratch the paintwork in the first week.
My first car was a mk1 Ford Capri in black with a small sporty steering wheel.
the Capri goes way back before the mk1 the start was the ford consul Capri launched in 1961 to 1964
At least they have a new owner! Amazing discovery
5:14, That lads is a calcified spider. A spider that died on its web and has had water trickle over it for years, leaving calcium in it until you get what you see. I have seen these things in cellars and a well once. Amazing to look at.
That Rover is a 1987 Honda civic.
To have one of those old Land Rovers is on my dream list just can’t afford one.😔😒😌🙈
Brilliant video loved the cars and the way you explain all about them keep up the great work and videos Bernard
Great video my friend take care ❤ 🙂 💕
Great to see
Keep at it,
I understand you have a lot on at the moment 👍
That rover looks in good condition
there are always vultures ready to swoop and make a profit from someone elses misfortune
Wow that’s incredible 👍
Bearded oyster. Top lad
rover had my jaw droppin'
Keep strong brother 🧠💪 great video making 🎥🎼🙋♂️ Nathan
The tractor is a Fordson Super Dexta manufactured by Ford at Dagenham between 1962 and 1964. The front end cowling damage was probably sustained over time from working on the farm clearing the crew yards. Its front end loader and tines are on their side in front of the Dexta amongst the 'junk' along with a spare rear wheel. However once restored or oily rag conserved would make good money too.
Your edits are so good man your are amazing at what you do i would love to meet u one day.
Excellent Video-Summery..! Thank You. Oops memory of Mk1 Capri, Land Rover Series 2 LWB, MG in that order. Made me chuckle again. A "Doh" moment 😖 Thank You
I’m a relatively new subscriber and love all you video’s I’m from the U.S.A and don’t know a lot about cars especially yours in the UK but enjoy them very much Thanks for sharing
Iv just found your channel find it very interesting just subscribed.
Thanks 😁
I'd love the 213
The mk1 Capri production started in November 1968. This one was registered in March 1969. So it would most likely have been made between November 1968 & January 1969. It will definitely be a very low chassis number. Cheers. Leigh. PS. The tractor is a Fordson Dexta. My Granda left me his Super Dexta 3cyl diesel. The difference between the two is the Dexta has headlamps on the side of the grille & the Super has them in the grille mesh. This one is the 2nd generation with the newer nose produced between 1961 & 1964. Mine was a 1962. Unfortunately had to sell it to buy a van.
You found my land rover. I wondered where I’d parked it 😂
Could be 102,000 miles. "gone around the clock". More likely they revoved the cable or it broke then never fixed. The condition of the chassis could of just be well kept, and undersealed. The "Parts" landie supports that idear.
102'000 miles on a series iii landy in that condition around the chassis. Not possible.
Plus it was only on the road for 3 years.
Registered in 1983, last taxed in 1986.
Thats 34'000 miles per year. Again unheard of in a series iii land rover. Its showing no common signs of wear on the tailgate, door hinges, wheels or wings that 102'000 miles would produce and that chassis is mint.
They rotted out on the outriggers within 7-8 years and would be covered in weld repairs.
Ive owned several.
Trust me driving that many miles per year on leaf spring suspension you would need a good chiropractor. They were never known for comfortable ride.
It still has the original factory spec tyres too.
Wow! Actual genuinely rare cars (well, two of them are). That Capri is definitely one of the first. It was registered on the 14th March 1969.
Love your videos and always interesting the places you find and explore. One thing I wanted to ask is what is the music you use at the start of the videos. Two different things but love to know what it is
Usually when you see these you get to the videos and it's cars that would honestly be almost worthless in great condition but honestly for a multi car barn find those are some pretty awesome cars nothing that'll make you never have to work again but an awesome cache of near Cars
Is it wrong that I kinda like that old rover?!
That was interesting,Rover was in good nick as the Range Rover too, sorry the own passed away, the place it self looked well looked after to, thanks for sharing Colin keep them coming 🙏😘
Oh my god...A bit over the top if i do say
Alot of sensationalism me thinks.... 😀
look 40 year old cobwebs..Oh look a 40 year old spider.Oh my God... 😂
@@edwinthompson6510 Gotcha Thompson Win Ed...I won't...
not miles on the tractor it in hours
hi good afternoon, well had a lot to say, but just read the comments, and that says it all, good luck ,keep safe till the next time
Hurry up and get and buy them
Most farms have these old cars and tractors. When one eventually breaks down it’s easier to buy a replacement.
Top job as always
That Series 3 is incredible.
Saw the title and got all excited thought you stumbled across a nice mk1 granada well gutted
My grandad loved capris he had one the same colour as that one
Hi Colin hope your doing good.
That was one cool video. I loved seeing that red Rover. It reminds me of the Sterling that Acura Honda and Rover made for the U.S. back in the late 80s and 90s.
Stay safe and take care.
i dont write often , but this here is an impressive place !
I think the Rover outside is way past saving. Good luck to your fiend, hope he gets them. That would be neat watching the videos. Shame about the owner. Was that his house in the background? Would have like to have seen it if was his.
That is definitely restorable, all the bits are available. Just time, money and skill. Worth a lot of money now, silly money TBH.
OMG,my 3rd car was a Capri,MK 1 facelift,MYX 449 L. Great video.
Land rover 100% Genuine me thinks,,, give ya £200 for the rust bucket Capri , only worth a pound ask Liz trussion or Kwasi no doh 🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t a G reg 1968?
Red Rover currently on ebay 👌
The tractor dial will display working hours not miles
