Places like this fascinate and frustrate me in almost equal measure...

I never understand how people can be so unorganised, and leave potentially unicorn cars to rust away.

Places like that just make me itch to get all the junk and crap thrown out, and get the cars organised and if possible, under cover. Such a shame to see them all rotting away.

Those cars deserve better! 😢 such a waste. Good luck with the build of the one you saved!

It must be great to buy cars ,and then leave them to rot away in a field, incredible 😢

Just the most heartbreaking thing I've seen in ages. Poor cars deserve better.

Well what a project. You are literaly the only blokes i know who's optimism is outweighed by your skills. Good luck with this project if you do it. Thanks for the wander.

An older man I’ve known for years has a similar situation on his property. I used to think it was such a waste to have so many cool cars just rotting away. Seeing how he lights up when he gets to talking about them helped me understand his mindset. It’s really no different than any other collection, and if you enjoy it and it’s not hurting anyone, go for it. If he knows you or sees you need something he has, he’s more than willing to part with anything he has. He doesn’t advertise, but he does frequent different groups for cars he likes and offers help where he can.

Wow this has got to be your biggest challenge yet.... I am so looking forward to seeing the work start.

What depressing weather and all those cars growing mould and rusting away ..

MR2! MR2! Please go back and rescue the MR2s!

This Mazda is going to be one hell of a project. So looking forward to watching the progress of this build. I'm sure that it will tax your steel origami and cutting skills to the max. I hope you enjoy the build as much as I think most of your followers will. Best of luck gents.

i'm a fan of the ford capri, my dad had one before i was born. it's my dream car and it's hurts so bad to see one rusting aways... "The car you always promise yourself" one day, one day i'll got one..

And all this time I thought MY yard was a shithole. I'm feeling much better about myself now, thank you.

What a lovely chap. He just can't resist adding another car can he? What a shame you couldn't rescue the Reliant and the Citreon. I know they're not glamour cars like the BMW's, Porkers, Jags etc but they deserve a little love and attention too.

That 309 is awsome... if it's to low the just adjust the torsionbar and make it higher and go track it again.

So many gems just forever forgotten and rotting away. At least you saved one of the more desirable of the bunch.

20:26 the vaquablaster is a smaller version of the one I have. It's great for cleaning alloy parts and even derusting brake parts etc. They are a big dollar machine here. As for the Mazda ,a mate of mine bought one off ebay here in OZ years ago , just to get the engine. It's not a rotary engine but a Ford 351 Cleveland .... 😁

Good of you to shine a little light on this mans collection, I hope people looking for projects / parts catch on and get in contact. Much like you did, looking forward to seeing more of this.

Wow! Makes the Disaster Datsun look pretty good! Might need an 818 donor car for that one... Coupé's are rare as hens' teeth, but there are four doors around here in Scandinavia. I'll let you know if a suitable one pops up.

if you're restoring this, will be epic. I'll be in for the whole ride.

Impressive collection, I see a lot of angry people in the comments but anyone with experience can tell he got these things for dirt cheap, as most collectors do, and he's doing the right thing, selling when it pays off. Brave of him to go on camera too, not many in his field willing to do that in this day and age. There's something to be said for people more busy with appearing picture perfect and all that instead of getting the cars they want, then they get angry, well, it's an issue of their own making, they could forgo luxuries and get one of these cars and restore it, instead they blame this guy.

Yes... rescue the capri! As others have said it is sad they have been left out to rust and fall apart

I'm so excited about this build! I cannot wait another episode of the build! Good luck guys!

Remember the the lad on Toy Story who lived nextdoor to Andy, who tortured & dismembered toys, eventually killing them. Well this guy is like an adult version of him & his toys are cars. If cars had souls and could speak they'd be like, noooooo, don't let him buy me! So very sad. I wouldn't want to be the person who clears up that place once he's passed away.

I can't imagine how many miles are you going to travel inside the workshop from this 'Spit' to the working table!!! Crazy challenge in progressssssssssss.

Good on the fellow showing us his cars ,,great viewin guys something different

This is and always will be my favorite car of all time. I know you will bring it back to life thank you 🙏 👑💯

Great video and best of luck restoring it, a deserving case. The Morris Minor was a '56 model, not '65 (split screen) and best if all, the video has confirmed I'm not a hoarder, just a collector. I'll get my wife to watch to place things into perspective!

If you guys take this on then it will be absolutely insane....but thats why we all love watching. Go on .....please do it. Like Ryan said..nothing is impossible 😊

Love the old RX’s- we miss so many of them vs them down under.

Hello Ryan 👋 captain yorkshire and everyone. I love this video of seeing everyone outside and looking at all the different kinds of cars so neat.

Had an RX3 Coupe when I was 18, great car. started looking for one about 20yrs but there was nothing to be found (in Scotland anyway). Maybe one will still turn up....... Great vid guys

My life!! You guys are either really brave or completely mad! That was one of the best videos ever, I didn't even know places like that still existed, great video look forward to seeing what you do to that one.

This video motivated me so much, I'll start cleaning my warehouse and post items on eBay ASAP!

Hi, been watching your channel for a while now and you have gave me the confidence to buy an old classic that needs welding etc. Have done a few small repairs , has gone ok but it seems to take me a long time. You have given me a huge amount of tips to help me with my project. You guys are fantasic with the repairs you make and make it look so easy............keep up the fantastic work,all the best Lee

I’ve 11 capri first one 3ltr e (YLG 113J ) when I was 17 years old my brother had his too loved them ever since but only 3 litres or later 2.8 .brill video your proper up north now lads ! 👍🏻😉😂reliant kitten 4 wheel wow. You mean you paid him for it 😳🙏🏻

I think your are mental buying that car what a load of work I only hope it will be worth it I know it will be beautefull when finished best of luck I look forward to watch you transform it

Now you know that if you restore that the series will be epic and if anyone has got the skill Steve it's you.

what an adorable piece of .... yeah.... can´t wait to see what your´re gonna make out of it...

Great vid! Love places like this.

My idea of heaven, what a beautiful property.

Well... you can't complain this time. You've done it to yourself! Personally, I'd have seen if he'd part with one or two of the MR2's!

What an amazing challenge. Thanks for the video.

We have thousands of those Mazda Rotarys here in Australia, in fact i saw a pristine one yesterday in the car park at the Bathurst race track. We called them the RX3. Those Savannah fronts are worth alot of money today because many people put them on the 808 which was almost the same car but without the rotary.

Mikey your an absolute legend pal and one of life’s good guys 😜

By the look of it you've bought some pare glass and emblems for your project. I wish you luck in what ever you decide for this old girl.

Nice to see this RX3. Very rare car by now. A friend of mine races a RX3 with a RX8 wankel-engine in Belgian Historic Racing Competition. My uncle ownes a 4-door RX3 in mint condition. And he also ownes a 818 2-door that used to be my nephew's (other uncles son) first car before he bought his Sierra Cosworth in 1987. How I would love to own an 818 2-door coupe. An RX3 is out of the question. The rustbucket have all rusted away, as rare as they were from the beginning.

lads - the word BRAVE sprigs to mind - but what a classic! so glad you saved the rear window glass too - try getting one of those down at Autoglass 😂 good luck guys, cant wait to see you fixing it!

Wow😳😳😳. I saw realy fantastic and legendary cars. First Skyline and Mr 2....

Saved another one, looking fwd to seeing more of it

My dad had a new 929 LA2 Mazda back in the 1970's, looked years ahead of its time, with the twin headlights. Would be great to see one brought back to life, but man, that one looks rusty!

👍🏼I detected a blue Citroen Ami 6 in the back in the hall at 18:13! Love that!😍 Great channel,I‘ll subscribe!🍀

That is going to look real nice on display in your shop.

Man, you boys are brave! That’s a hell of a salvage job, sheesh!

this makes me feel sad to see an Rx3 coupe in so bad condition, always wanted one but never could get my hands on a coupe. Having both my 1974 Rx4 coupe and my S1 1970 Rx2 coupe at home is something I cherish.

Man after me own heart It's up to him what he spends his own money on👏

What a place!!! I don't know if to feel sad for the poor car or to be happy that it's off to a harley street car Surgeon to make her look beautiful again. Are we going to call her Mandy ❤❤❤. Joe

I vote no more new projects until you finish one! Thanks for the content boys.

Can’t believe you bought it 😲 hope it’s not as bad as it looks.

You’ve bought some patina there chaps!!

That mr2 is cool! Propper rally style build!

APART FROM THE FORD CAPRI’S,HE IS THE PROUD OWNER OF UNDESIRABLE JUNK😂

Now I’m hooked . You got to attempt it

I know a man do does the exact same. Fair play to him memories. Seems a nice bloke 😊

The definition of optimism. 👍

Oh! This is going to be epic fun!!

My late mums’s best friend bought in 1976, the same front end car. Did they do this model in a 4 door. As I don’t remember it being a 2 door, but I do remember the reg OFR2P. Ina lovely blue.

That is wonderland.

I remember having a look at a rx3 coupe when i was in the uk around 2000?... around the sherwood forest area ... couldn't believe the rust..im from New Zealand... we were still driving them around the roads over here...

Well folks after I’d stopped crying and pissing me pant with excitement I’ve made a list of the stuff I’ll buy You lads are great restorers of everything manky and do a superb job but I never thought for one minute I’d be watching a team of bloke who obviously have ball of kryptonite take on the remnants of what’s left of that Mazda but if anyone can do it it’s you lads great vids great work and a pleasure to watch thanks 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

It’s sad that 90% are scrap. But there are some gems hidden in there. I admire the fact he isn’t afraid to spend money to enjoy himself racing etc. looks like he needs a dam good clear out

Another project. It will be a challenging rebuild🎉🎉

Awesome location and an awesome video!! If anyone can resurrect the Mazda it will be you guys 👍

So cool, restore it

Unorganised chaotic shambles. But he came across as a happy man, and he rallies which is a bonus, so good for him.

Cant wait for the episode's of the progress on that project....one you bringing a rare car back from the dead and 2 your face kills me with the patch repairs and rust you find 😂😂😂😂

Wow.. one pf my favourite cars 😢

Actually looking forward to this restoration

That location must be heaven for you guys 😀

[thought i was mad with 2 rusty projects but thats next level haha

More cars, GREAT :- )

Love YCR’s skills !

Seemed like a jolly fella.

"Can't sell that because my neighbour gave it to me." But I'll leave it to rot in a field instead. Madness

That's a nice looking car

im looking forward to this build lol

I had an RX3 in 1985, was still able to buy most trim and components from local dealer, Mazda maintained a very long parts chain to Australia.

He definitely loves his cars and brilliant find for you both.

Looking forward to that restoration/build it again from scratch 😮

Well Steve - that was a family holiday (and a half) - I thought an original engine would have helped - another disaster imported from north of the border- but glad you have something to keep Ryan busy for 18- 24 months!

Oh how I wish I could see that little MAZDA restored - but - unlikely. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

Wow. That'll keep you busy for a bit

Whilst i love the usual content you put out, its cool to see content of you out and about doing stuff like this. Will you do any vids of shows you attend?

Like you said, anything is doable. But you're brave taking that on. It will make tons of interesting content though. Enjoyed the video. Lovely bloke who owned the land and cars.

OMG some work there lad

The RX3 is worth saving, especially with the skills you guys have 👌

We are so lucky here in AUSTRALIA that we do not have salt and rust like that - HA - we would be crying if we saw that amount of rust - and you brave guys just 'grin and bear' it and get on with the job - HA. CHEERS from (no salt) AUSTRALIA.

people like him are the reason cars become rarer than they need to be, nearly all the cars here are worth thousands,could sell them,part them out or even fix/restore them, but leaves them to rot instead and will later complain why nobody wants to buy them later when they are too far gone... im glad you're giving that mazda a chance, extremely brave! 😂

This makes me a bit nostalgic for the RX3 coupe I had back in the late 1970's. It was a super smooth car to drive but I always was fearful of the rotary engine being overheated as this was likely to wreck the motor and write off the car. The first thing I did was to change all the hoses. The bottom hose was a problem though as it didn't exist in the parts manual at the garage. In the end I wrote off to Mazda in Japan and about 2 weeks later there was a ring at the door bell of my house in North London and and he introduced himself as a UK director to explain that he had just got back from Japan . Mazda Japan had had found the hose in question and asked him to deliver it personally to me on his return. I never forgot that, and have had many cars from Japan since. My RX3 was the newest smartest car I had owned at that point and was in perfect condition. I think it cost me about £650 and was very low mileage It even still had the clear plastic on the door cards and back seat to protect them. It was like driving a turbine engine as it was so quiet smooth and powerful. Unfortunately the petrol consumption was really bad (17 mpg) so I sold it after a couple of years. Shame these cars suffer so much from rust.
