Another car graveyard but possibly one of the best i have found in the UK so far! With some big name’s inc Jaguar, Lotus, Porsche & MG I honestly don’t think there could be a better collection.. or could there??? This location backed onto a fully working yard and we did bump into one o the workers who kindly asked us to leave so sadly had to cut our visit a bit short, but we were still lucky enough to see some super classic & extremely rare cars! As always the location will not be shared. And if anyone dose in the comments the will be removed & blocked so please don’t do it. Although these cars have been left for many years they still belong to somebody some. We asked and None of them are for sale. Hope you enjoy the video 🙂

The speedboat was my Dads sold 20 or so years ago sad to see it like that I remember it going to a fella that collected old cars would love to know where this is I used to go water skiing every Thursday as a boy at our local lake it’s a very rare boat as it’s a jet boat so no propeller so was a very safe skiing boat if you lifted the back you would have seen it has a 2.0 Ford Pinto engine.

Hi the bearded explorer, this white series 3 Jaguar (14:00) that had been in an accident was my dads, we rebuilt the car from scratch! We sold it to somebody and Nigel farage’s driver ran into it, hence the insurance right off! I would love to get in contact over like Instagram to know exactly where and when you were there as I may try and get to see it myself! Thank you!

@Subcat001 3 жыл бұрын

Good video. The E-Type looks like a Series 3 judging by the 2+2 body and the flared arches. Even in this condition it's still probably worth something. The Stag should have a V8 up front. Triumph developed their own despite having access to Rover's V8. Unfortunately it had cooling issues. Lots ended up having Rover's V8 transplanted. The rotting roof is a separate hard top. The Series 3 Damiler is a relatively rare conversation. Whether it's worth anything is open to debate.

@Subcat001 3 жыл бұрын

Actually I'll correct myself. Didn't see the 4.2 badge first time. So it must be a series 2 E-Type despite the arches looking more flared. Unless it's a rare Pre-production series 3. Be interesting to see a plate.

Worked on a jaguar v12, took two of us 13 hours to change the starter motor. Took it up on the freeway, power off the mark not that impressive, however at 100km still had as much acceleration as from a standing start. Forgot what speed I got it up to, but felt very safe and stable at high speed.
