Coming across one barn find car is an amazing event, but imagine going into a warehouse full of barn find classic cars. That’s what a YouTuber uncovered recently, capturing the experience on video to share with his followers.
Restomod shop Classic Recreations files of bankruptcy.
The dilapidated and long-since abandoned warehouse is located in Belgium. Thanks to a devastating flood, it’s surrounded by water, so the guy has to wade through a river and climb through damaged gates to finally reach the treasure trove of classic cars.
Before the flood in the summer of 2021, the warehouse served as a repair shop for the vehicles. However, when the waters rose and the building was cut off from the rest of the area, the restoration workers and the owner of the site had to flee and forget about returning.
That means some of the vehicles are sitting in a state of mid-repair. It seems unlikely anyone will be able to rescue the rides from the building that has become their tomb. Grappling with that sad reality might be too much for enthusiasts, especially if you’re a fan of European cars.
The lineup of machines still sitting in the warehouse is daunting. Among the more impressive examples is a Saab 900 convertible that’s unfortunately been buried by debris, a Ford Anglia, a Mahinda Jeep that sadly can’t ford the river, a Suzuki Samurai, a Porsche 924, a Mercedes 190D, a Porsche 944, and a Ford Tanus 15M RS coupe.
Plus, there are multiple classic BMWs which have been stripped for parts, possibly by thieves deciding to help themselves to whatever they can unbolt and carry through the river.
Check out the full video of these guys exploring the warehouse and its car collection here.
