The rare Rickman Ranger you saw was built in my home town of New Milton Hampshire only around a 1000 were built and they were based on the Ford Escort Mark 1&2. They later made the Matisse coupe which was Ford Sierra based. Great explore guys👍😎
@10.17, Marina Coupe, B/L saved tooling by fitting the 4 door front doors to the Coupe rather than tool up for longer front doors on this 2 door model!
I really enjoyed this! Takes me back to my childhood at some of the cars my dad hadcand also when i was 18 and i worked at Byatts Jaguar garage, but customers bought in lots of relics now, to be repaired and i used to go down to collect invoices and have a crafty look at all the expensive cars. Thanks matey. I like your chanel and content, art from your haunt stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Rover 3500 DNP 32N was last taxed in 1988 but strangely a new V5c was issued in 2005, coinciding with an inheritance of the site and all the vehicles maybe?
What a fascinating place! If it's any consolation, while the Fiat 500s you found were dumped there when they were common, at least they still exist now, albeit rotted, because they were abandoned and not scrapped. Numberplate list for lazy people: 18:07 - Ford Transit, Reg: P634 ELS. Date of first registration: December 1996. Date of last logbook issued: 7 June 2005. (Interesting - It's not been sat there for as long as the others) 20:00 - Renault 5, Reg: JVT 623. Date of first registration: January 1980. Date of last logbook issued: 30 November 1988. 28:45 - Fiat 128. Reg: OYO 225L. Date of first registration: November 1972. Date of last logbook issued: 30 November 1989.
Wow awesome place Colin ! Nature taking back it’s truly amazing those poor fiat 500 s shame , some proper old classics . Thanks for sharing with us Colin stay safe out there 👍👍
Thanks guys for your perseverance!! What an absolutely amazing place just lost in time … I am so jealous I would have just loved to have been there with you. Amazing that these classic car time capsules survive. So many trim bits and glass would be so so valuable to many classic car resto owners too. One of the best places you guys have visited I think. Thanks again keep up the great work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Even though the body and the chassis of the cars have virtually disintegrated the exterior trim bumpers light's steering wheels and all the glass and instrument parts will be worth saving you could sell them at an auto jumble and make some good money for them
What an absolutely amazing place. Those cars have just been left there for so very long, the way nature has reclaimed them is actually so beautiful really. Sad that the cars are so lost and beyond saving though but yeah, when they were left there they were only worth scrap. The place really is disturbing feel though with all the animal parts left about.
That blue van / pickup, looks like a Austin Morris, you can tell by the grille...Morris Minors towards the end of production, were re-badged, and the only other difference was a different grille....
Hi Colin & Stu, hope you two are doing good. One awesome video. Those 3 Fiat 500s should still be on the road if you ask me. They are cool cars. Stay safe and take care.
love these explores my gran use to have this massive shed wich was full of loads old stuff untouched for years Tonka trucks etc star wars toys till the window cleaner helped himself and took all of it grr
Great video of the cars what a shame they gone to rot I watch all your videos of old cars so interesting I watched one a while ago subscribed to you about the wheel bubble cars they was first built by isetta in itlayin 1953 they was about 2 3m 7, 5ft long and 1,4m 5ft wide idea for sneaking in to small city parking spaces they did nt have a reverse gear and if you park to close to a garage end wallyou would get trapped because the singledoor is at the front and there is no reverse gearbut am hoping if u will come across with them in a scrap yard thumbs up to you guys love to see some more stay safe
Oh my rust rust rust and patina that's about it resemblance of cars is oh so slim ...makes you wonder if clearing site how many cars are unveiled ...but cool Colin 👍 nice one
another brilliant video Colin next time you go back can you show a bit more of what was in the shed as ther was a trails bike and I would like to know what it was
Great to see you exploring the site on the way to Gloucester. You used to be able to see the entrance from the road but now completely overgrown. I tried to buy some vehicles off the owner in the bungalow 5+ years ago but not interested. No activity on site now for couple of years - guess they died/moved out ? It was a scrapyard in the 70’s when there was no regulations. Much easier to explore when it turns to winter.
Another Great find Colin, but Oh Dear, the first three you got wrong! The first was a Austin/Morris JU Van, then a Humber Hawk followed by an Austin A40, Sorry!
Im sure there used to be a car called a Singer Vogue.Thats an awesome place.I spotted a red Morris Marina in there and I think that pickup in there was a Marina too looking at the doorhandles.xx P
A long time ago they were all new and shiny and someone paid good money for them. Yes a Vogue is a Singer vogue similar to a Hillman minx. different front panels, Comes out of the same factory. That rickman ranger looks like a suzuki 410.
Remarkable finds, The Rickman was a ford based, usually mkI/II escort, kit car that looked very like an early Suzuki Jeep. Yes Vogue was a trim level for ARG and it's predecessors and successors. Regarding the misc animal remains and the amount of bird sh1t on that car, I think you have some large birds of prey nesting in those trees, possibly buzzards.
Powerful animals Badgers. Didn't think they were serious predators of larger mammals like lambs or sheep though. Foxes work maybe or one of those Black Panthers photographed in remote parts of our countryside. Those are big powerful cats. Have to hide and rest up somewhere. That an ideal place to hide away.
What you originally thought was a Land Rover is an Austin Gypsy. Pretty rare and not a huge amount made. This place is definitely one of the best locations you’ve filmed. 👍
The vehicle you thought might have been a Land Rover is an Austin Gipsy, a period imitator of the Land Rover built between 1958 and 1968. The Rickman Ranger was a 4x4 sold in a home-built kit form.
Your more like Tarzan walking through the jungle! I love a good car explore and you are the best at them. Always such a shame they have been left there to rot away. Those creepy poor Animals, that was really bizarre!
Just think both of you, someone bought all those cars brand new & they were their pride & joy & maybe took them ages to save up for a 'new' car back in the old days
The red van, or what's left of it, is an Austin/Morris/BMC J4, forerunner of the Sherpa. That's not a Landrover, it's an Austin Gypsy.
The rare Rickman Ranger you saw was built in my home town of New Milton Hampshire only around a 1000 were built and they were based on the Ford Escort Mark 1&2.

Great explore guys👍😎
Look how good the bright work holds up
The vogue you mentioned is probably a SINGER vogue launched in 1961 a bit like the hillman minx .
Another great video guys good team 👍🏻
The Vogue was based on the Hillman Super Minx, the Singer Gazelle was based on the Hillman Minx
@@nickb5391 that’s what I was referring to nick should have said super minx 👍🏻.
@@ThePaul464 👍
Singer Vogue (Rootes Group) I’m guessing. That Fiat 128 is pretty rare. Much respect to you guys looks like an absolute jungle

Your right Colin,it is but like wrong turn there,good film that 👍
I like the Rover. Also the Fiat500.😎😎👍👍You guys videos are even much more cooler when you team up. Great👍👍😎😎
Thanks for putting up with all the scratches! Amazing views

@ 29:41 "have you heard of a car as a vogue", there was a Humber Vogue in Australia early 60s part of Rootes Motor Group.
I think Rootes badged up the Vogue as a Sunbeam on the 'Arrow range' models as well as a Singer
Wow awesome place Colin ! Nature taking back it’s truly amazing those poor fiat 500 s shame , some proper old classics . Thanks for sharing with us Colin stay safe out there 👍👍

Some of those stainless steel Rover Hub caps looked pristine still.

Looks like a bird of prey is living amongst those old cars going by the body parts.
Those Commer vans always had dodgy brakes...They would never come to a FULL STOP. ;)
the handbrake was on the front wheels!
That blue van / pickup, looks like a Austin Morris, you can tell by the grille...Morris Minors towards the end of production, were re-badged, and the only other difference was a different grille....
29:40 probably a Singer Vogue
Great video thanks Colin. Looks like one of those Welsh big cats I saw in the paper today lol.
Some real rusty gold in there fellas great vid 🤘
2 greats together nice one,this was sad Nature had well taken over, I don't get it why do people do it, good Video keep it up guy's 😘👏👏👏👏👏👏
That Renault 5 reg,JVT 623V the last road tax due was 2nd of October 1989
Hi Colin & Stu, hope you two are doing good.
One awesome video.
Those 3 Fiat 500s should still be on the road if you ask me. They are cool cars.
Stay safe and take care.
The cars are certainly all returning back to nature 👍🏻
Great video colin well worth waiting for, how sad those fiat 500 are lost to time such a shame 😥.
love these explores my gran use to have this massive shed wich was full of loads old stuff untouched for years Tonka trucks etc star wars toys till the window cleaner helped himself and took all of it grr
You 2 just the best funny as hell 😂but really great find
Singer Vogue. Part of the Rootes Group.
What a super place. Well done for finding that!
@8.27 (top left) Hillman Minx (Series type)

Great stuff guys, thoroughly enjoy the banter and content your two have. 👌🏻👍🏻
Bit like last week but only one thing missing a bloke telling you there all repairable thanks great vid and I share your pain about fiat 500s
The Vogue, would be as a Singer Vogue, an upmarket version of a Hillman Minx!
@The Bearded Explorer, that is not an Anglia next to the Humber (at 3 minute point) it's an Austin A40 Farina.
That’s incredible. I’d love to go and see that place!
another brilliant video Colin next time you go back can you show a bit more of what was in the shed as ther was a trails bike and I would like to know what it was
What a amazing find it's like a apocalyptic move set.
Brilliant explore again! thank you for sharing it!

hey mate , where exactly is this place ?
Great video guy's, hard to believe the length of time those car's have been left there just to rot and be reclaimed by nature.
Hi Colin great explore with stu I think the Rickman was a car you built yourself I could be wrong I used to work in a garage and we used too mot one 😀
The Morris Oxford (UCJ459J)
Last taxed 1st November 1981!!
At the 11 minute mark that red car next to "Sheldon's" 😀 Rover P6 is a Morris Marina
Looks like just behind where I used to live NR Dursley/Berkeley in Gloucestershire
Awesome finds. Those fiat 500s tho 😯😯
At 14:05 "Peugeot van" is actually a Morris Marina pick-up
great video the light brown rover was last taxed november 1988
@29.42, Yes, Singer Vogue (Rootes Group) the posher version of Hillman Super Minx & also the Humber Sceptre was the posher version of the Singer Vogue
Another Great find Colin, but Oh Dear, the first three you got wrong! The first was a Austin/Morris JU Van, then a Humber Hawk followed by an Austin A40, Sorry!

It seems you've stumbled upon the feeding ground of carnivorous beasts
@2.22, B.M.C Austin/Morris J4 (Maybe ex Royal Mail?)
It’s the A TEAM love to see you pair together
The Vauxhall Viscount at 21 min ❤️
Hillman did a “ Vogue “!….great video & amazing find.
'Rootes Group' & it was a Singer rather than a Hillman
im glad stu got to see them it made me smile and its a big shame that mother nature wanted them
The trucks look like a old bedford tk, aec truck, Ford Thames van and that Rickman ranger should be rescued as I believe they are fibre glass
@2.54 A40 Farina ("next to it")
Love the idea of a badger doing that damage to the dear/sheep etc. Great video
Powerful animals Badgers. Didn't think they were serious predators of larger mammals like lambs or sheep though. Foxes work maybe or one of those Black Panthers photographed in remote parts of our countryside. Those are big powerful cats. Have to hide and rest up somewhere. That an ideal place to hide away.
Great explore, shame some of those have been left to rot.
Very intrigued about the half eaten animal legs and wings. Not sure a fox would do that.
great video guys
Im surprised Theres no mk3 cortinas or a Austin princess they were in every scrap yards back in the 80s

20:25 That little Renault 5 has been parked up there since 1988/89!
Singer made a vogue model but they were not around for long
Great video.
Your show is great.
The vehicle you thought might have been a Land Rover is an Austin Gipsy, a period imitator of the Land Rover built between 1958 and 1968.

A "Bungle In The Jungle"
The vogue you mentioned would be a Singer Vogue
Your more like Tarzan walking through the jungle! I love a good car explore and you are the best at them. Always such a shame they have been left there to rot away. Those creepy poor Animals, that was really bizarre!
DAF 55 behind the Capri. very rare car
One of the coolest locations on your channel so far. I've already seen it on Imstokze's channel and it blew my mind. Keep it up!
Looks like Yoda's swamp. Mind you, you'd need to possess Jedi powers to get those cars out of there.
You look like the guitarist in the Anti Knowhere League
@7.27 Standard Vanguard (or) Ensign Phase 3
Or possibly a vanguard sportsman by the round rear lights
@@charlestaylor9131 yes possible, pity we didn't see the front grille as it was a simular shape to an M.G
Really good find this one👍
The secret garden, which hide A nasty surprise 😮
Trials + motocross news
Just think both of you, someone bought all those cars brand new & they were their pride & joy & maybe took them ages to save up for a 'new' car back in the old days
That vogue is probably a singer made by rooted group
Mini clubman estate with a set of cosmic wheels!
@17.37, another Leyland E.A
The blue pickup looks like a Austin A60
Id love to have that red marina coupe
great video, just a shame you boys don't seem to know many old british cars, not even that marina coupe!
Nice to see you found the car graveyard I was there about 4 weeks ago. There are 4 fiat 500s you missed one at the front.
Great vid as buddy keep up the hard work they must be few and far between now 👍
