Aladdin's Cave of Classic Cars Uncovered in Countryside!

A hidden treasure trove of over 180 classic cars has been unveiled in the English countryside, tucked away for years by an anonymous owner. This remarkable collection, found in two barns and on adjacent land in South Gloucestershire, has captured the imaginations of car enthusiasts everywhere. As auction day approaches, excitement builds around the possibility of uncovering motoring gems.

 

Among the dazzling array are icons like a 1960s Aston Martin and a Jaguar with the unique registration '3 TV', both expected to sell for tens of thousands. However, the collection is a mixed bag; while some cars are pristine, others languish under layers of dirt, with vegetation threatening to swallow them whole. The site itself is a chaotic wonder, featuring not just British classics, but American legends like a Cadillac thought to have been owned by unnamed celebrities.

 

 

 

Interest in the upcoming auction, slated for June 28, is skyrocketing. Finley Hutchings from Tewkesbury Auction Centre revealed that their social media post garnered an astonishing 1.7 million views within a day. He noted, "There are some very nice pieces, cool stuff, and some very rare things." With potentially 700 to 800 lots up for grabs, the sale could indeed be the "sale of the century."

Motoring signs, spare parts, and even a boat add to the intrigue. As preparations continue to ensure the site’s security—once visited by curious explorers—the location will be disclosed closer to the auction date. The vast collection, painstakingly assembled over many years, marks the end of an era for the owner as he sells the property, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance for enthusiasts to own a piece of automotive history.

Looks like a hoarder's collection. Some interesting lots there. However, it now costs so much to restore an old car that it is seldom financially viable, unless it is extremely rare and valuable. Better to buy one that is in good condition or already restored where some other poor soul took the hit.

Looks like an EXCELLENT selection of classic cars. Whoever can afford to buy them can make a big profit.
