UK’s Ultimate Barn Find? 170 Forgotten Cars Up for Auction! – DOWARD FARM

Could this be the UK’s ultimate barn find? Over 170 classic cars, maybe even up to 200 relics, were discovered tucked away on a Gloucestershire farm — now they’re heading to auction with FM Hutchings Commercial Auctioneers in Ross‑on‑Wye. also check jordans video out @ExploringWithBoss

In this video, I dive through an incredible collection of British and German marques: everything from Triumph TR7s, MGs, Mercedes‑Benz R107 SLs, VW Golf Cabriolets, Alfa Romeo Spiders, Range Rovers and Jaguars, to rarer luxury models like a Bentley Turbo R and Aston Martin DBS

. There are even American ’50s–’70s cars and at least a dozen Peugeot 205s

.

You’ll also see charred remains from a barn fire — including what looks like a Porsche 911 Targa chassis and a Ferrari 328

. Despite the dust and damage, many cars come with documentation, and the auctioneers are still pulling them out to catalog them all

.

📅 On-site auction happens on Saturday, 28 June 2025 — don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event. Want to know what gems stood out to me? Watch the video and let me know your favourite in the comments!

what is going on boys and girls So today welcome to a new video and I’m at a car auction Um this is a huge collection of abandoned cars There’s over 170 plus Jordan actually come here and was lucky enough to film before this auction but today’s the auction day We’ve been invited along to record the cars and the whole experience of the auction Thought without further ado let’s get into this video and let’s show you some cars Just look at this SA I won’t be bidding on anything But I thought why not come Jordan said why not come and have a look
There’s plenty here So much over 170 cars As I’ve already said you is a huge collection And I can even see a bread van up there
Oh look at that Bedford Old tractors And there’s probably quite a bit of money’s worth here And I’ve never been to a car auction like this So just have to see how it goes Look at the muggy That’s cool isn’t it There’s some lovely lovely stuff here but a lot of it is going to take a lot to restore And I mean a lot Look at this Cadillac Wow That’s a big old beast isn’t it Jesus That is a beauty though Wow It’s solid as hell Wow So we can even have a look inside Just look at that Yeah that’s beast isn’t it Wowza So so there’s going to be a lot I don’t know what’s here today but old MG old BMW wow old Jag There’s even old signs here All of this is up for auction 170 plus vehicles as I said and I think pretty much everything here is uh for sale Look at all of the Oxford signed and stuff Wow That place 56,000 Just look at this There is some Well these are going to be the best condition ones cuz they’re actually inside But this is meant though isn’t it Old Jag Old Jag It’s some money here Wow A look at the old M and the old Wow looking at the concrete Yeah this is bonkers [Applause] I love it
Look at this go Wow that’s tiny Rare as well Probably really rare This is mental Just look at this M again One golf as well Cabo play as well on it Wow It’s an old lo Yeah these are cool These are very cool I said earlier more But this guy is just a collector I think and did want start a museum up at some point but just never did And Jordan actually explored this place abandoned and then the owner contacted him cuz he was so respectful and told him to come back and have full reign of the place permissionwise So he did and now the auctions today and I tried to think how much money’s worth Yeah Look at RSO sign as well [Applause] So apparently this only got seven miles on about like 7 miles
Another Mach 1 Golf Looks quite clean as well but these barn ones are going to be the ones you want to go for Oh this is cool number 12 reminds me of pendown volumes to be honest But just look at it It goes deep deep and deep I’m assuming some of the cars might not be for sale but this is just bonkers It’s just cars everywhere The money here is a few million years As I said in the previous video he’s crying for having these chopped off
So we’re heading to the outside area now And this guy sure did like his convertibles He liked his energies as well And we’re here You certainly manous I just don’t understand how you accumulate it so much Do you know what I mean It’s just blown
I dread to think how much money is worth
Oh that bread van’s nice
Some beautiful things that golfers love too
Oh yeah Oh wow
That’s a polo in there That’s Is that a golf
Golf Mark one golf It’s gorgeous
That’s lovely isn’t it Wow Brad van Always wanted one Quite nice as well Looks quite solid to be fair Don’t look too bad It just goes on and on and on And wow look at our old ambulance Oh wow This is cool Again don’t know what it is Locked Very cool Oh there’s a D Nice And just look at this ambulance as well That’s proper old school Wow stuff like that is probably fiberglass and it’s going to be really hard to save I mean repair Yeah Look at the inside as well It’s still got the beds and the chairs in it Wow 14,615 miles I doubt that’s genuine They get 100,000 and tip over I don’t know if they’re anything like VW Oh yeah that’s cool It’s gorgeous The the wheels got to be worth five 600 quid Well those wheels are crying out to be honest I always thought these were very cool because they’re hydraulic as well standard from a factory which is very cool to be fair Oh look all the cobwebs But there’s a cassette in you All right The stink of mold You can just smell it Another cassette And look at the cobwebs Very cool law TZD turbo with the X Citron One of the only Citrons I think I’d actually own to be honest VW Cardi Love that on the wheels as well That’s gorgeous And then there’s various amount of 205s He must have liked his 205s This guy has just got a mental collection of cars Oh look at the interior in there Definitely like 80s vibes even though I don’t think it is an 80s car But yeah let’s go back to this car cuz this is lovely She got some war wounds Is that a diesel This thing will run forever
The old school wars uh 154,354 and it’s got a massive it’s got a massive all
well it will be easy see by the time you would have to rip that up There’s another one with a hydraulic suspension and obviously where’s an auction It’s got a lot tells you a bit about it He’s not got enough Volkswagens in my eyes Very cool Oh look at the patina on the roof as well It’s all sunburnt That’s very cool But it is badly rotting away Rover again V8 Wow There’s some lovely patina on that roof So we have another car black but this one’s been left to the element So this one is going to be A little bit rotten but is it solid Where the map is That’s the thing The interior is still quite good on it Oh wow Jesus The interior is really good on it considering it’s probably been here god knows how long Look at those chairs in that room
The interior is so clean isn’t it So long as she’s solid underneath you’ve got a decent car there Yeah there is so much cool stuff here though And I don’t know but I’m sure this is one of the sitrons like we seen in Bristol I’ll ask John about that cuz I’m pretty sure that is one of the Citroen that tractors cool as well John’s just getting some breakfast now Just look at this metro This is very cool It’s locked It’s a rover as well going to have a go with bidding on anything today
