It's such a shame. All those beautiful cars. I think this was the era when Peugeots had their best design. I especially loved the 405 and the 605. Timeless. Future classics.
OMG this is heaven for someone like me that loves Peugeots from 70s, 80s and 90s. Well, heaven or hell, depending on the way we look at it. Love the blue 305 GT.
I don't understand how these places are left for years even decades, what happened to the utilities they break in to get money and where's the courts for non payment of business rates.
Wow Colin this was breathtaking! You found some real sweet cars in this one. Some pretty rare stuff as well. Love that 405 especially. Can't wait for the next video.
I'm not a fan of Peugeot, never owned one but this place was fantastic!!! Plus I just love hearing your joy and happy enthusiasm at each amazing find. What a terrific place ❤❤
I’m lucky enough to own a beautiful 1994 Peugeot 306, I’ve had loads of work done to it; welding, engine overhaul, repainting, undersealing, waxoyling etc etc. She’s only a 1.4 XL 5dr spec 306, but I absolutely love her to bits. So to see this is incredible! All those brand new wheel trims in that room, they’d be worth a small fortune in just one of them. I’ve seen them go for £20 each! That 605 was gorgeous and that grey 405 was other worldly cool!
It’s a shame to see a place like this abandoned and especially those cars. I wonder if there are any abandoned dealerships in the Uk, now that would be very interesting. Great video.
Time clue: The green Mazda at 13:57, it has the later format number plate that changed in April 2012. The only car with that. Doesnt mean it was new then, but if it changed ownership it would have been issued with a new number, so I would guess the place closed around 2012/13.
As we didnt see any I think this closed before the 406 was launched in the mid 90`s. spotted @ 16:49 leaning against the wall is the rear engine cover in yellow primer for a renault 4cv
They were moved into position years ago as a memorial for the deceased owner by his wife. Apparently she is now going into a home and the place will soon be cleared out.
Limoges? Or at least somewhere in Haute Vienne (87) given the number of 87 vehicles. We have a house to the NE in 16 (Charente). Our village has an old Renault garage full of old cars and parts rotting away. As a Renault lover, it’s crîminal. Old aged owner didn’t want to part with the stock.
Wow ! As an owner of two classic cars (Ernie and Emma ) I find this both amazing and painful to watch ! There is an absolute fortune in spares and cars there ,especially the old one ! I am surprised that some enterprising soul hasn't sorted this lot out yet !
Nice to see something from our side of channel in France with the MK1 Micra, I've had 4 or 5 french cars over the years infact still have 1 an 13 plate DS3 and all have been decent cars .Shows you how hold the Garage unit was Peugeot/Citroen killed off Talbot in 94-95ish and started building the Peugeot 206 in the ex Talbot Coventry and Paris plants. Presumably Stellantis still own the name Marque.
Thanks for sharing this. Obviously an entire backstory behind this place. Disappointed there were no 403,404 or 504s. Cars I considered the heyday of Pugs! It also is a stark reminder of how the industry has changed. When did you last leave your pride and joy at a workshop that was such a shambles?
If you’ve not been already, I think you really enjoy visiting the sparkford motor museum in Somerset. Maybe next time you’re down this way? I really enjoy your videos, thank you 😊
What a place! My Dad had a 405 1.9 GTX back in the day that used the same engine as the 205 1.9 GTI. It was a great looking car, especially in the dark green his was. He also had a Mazda 626 the same as at the front of the workshop. That thing was bulletproof! Can’t remember the last time I seen a 626 the same as that. Had a couple of 306’s myself years ago as company cars - a 1.6 Meridian and a 1.6 LX. Hopefully someone will rescue these and they don’t end up scrapped. The book on the table at 15:00 next to the Citroen service manual you flick through, has a photo of what looks to be a current Audi Q3 on the front of it, so maybe someone still visits the place?
Hey Colin omg absolutely awesome find, Loving some old cars looking pretty good with owners manual inside, love the office with all the paperwork on the desks. Sad to see some good looking old cars on the outside and mould a the seats. Thank you 😃👌🌈
14:17 my grandpa brought a brand new Fiat Palio Weekend in 1998 in Poland and it was a Red 1.4 and he told me in 2019 that it will be mine when I pass my driving test but he sadly passed in March 2022 and grandma scrapped it, (i passed my test in december 2023 in UK) it had 77k km (47k miles) and nothing wrong with it she just didn't want it and didn't want to wait for me to bring it to England 😢
Hi Colin. Hope your doing good. I loved that video. What a shame all those rare Peugeot cars just sitting there. I still miss the 505 V8 Estate I used to have a long time ago. Before that I had a 505 4 door turbo. Take care and stay safe.
Hi Colin another amazing find and video.What a place,those cars were in too good a condition to be just allowed to waste away.Somebody really needs to save them.The amount of money still in that place as well just seems crazy to leave it!!! Great commentary Colin your amazement really came across. Look forward to next weeks.Take care.😃
Not sure whether to be excited or cry. I grew up with Peugeots and I really want a 405 so to see that many in one place would be heaven for me. I'm doing a charity banger rally and managed to get a Peugeot 407 for it which is amazing but I still want a 405.
The 306 and 405 models usually look so good in white for some reason. Specially the 306. And the 405 has that look where it started to get a little rounder, but still had that overal boxy shape. The mix between old square styling, with a hint of modern roundness, can largly only be found on cars from that time period. I like them a lot of that.
The Ford Focus was maybe moved in much later - it has the newer numbering which started in 2009. BW-XXX-XX would mean the plates are from 2011-2012. My dad had a Lexus from that year and the plates were BV-XXX-XX
There is a very good reason why those cars went unsold... they couldn't reliable bring you from point A to point B everytime you tried to start the car or it died on the road.
Hi guys. God, that has got to be the late 80s or early 90s. I remember my dad bought a brand new Peugeot 405. Wicked video again, as always 👍. If there was a 205 GTI in there, then I would lose my shit lol. What a place. Thanks 👋 🇨🇮
Hey buddy, pro tip: Put a piece of clothing/cloth over the camera, when you're trying to shoot something on the other side of a window or glass surface. This will in most cases eliminate any reflection.
Great video! You really enjoyed that, so did I. Looks like they tried to keep things ‘the way they were’, and time caught up. Or the owner died. Love the 405s. And the 505. 306! And the white one was a 605. The last great Peugeots 💙🤍❤
Its like whoever worked there went home one day and never came back. I would love to know the back story of why it just closed. Had a 405 turbo diesel for a company many years back and it was a terrific car for going across the country with little effort.
Weird one that, I'm with you with thinking it was long before 2019 it closed, but then the owners manual for a fairly recent car on the bosses desk suggests that maybe that is the case...
Hi Colin, great video!! All your videos are, what is the name of the tune at the start of the video? I've heard it on a few of your videos. Keep up the good work mate 👌
This is so sad all this stuff and cars needs to be saved and all the parts can be used to save other rare models of cars this breaks my heart being a mechanic
87, en Haute Vienne donc les alentours de Limoges, mouais il y a un quelques garages abandonné comme ça, mais pas vraiment abandonné malgré la très forte impression.
Just can't believe that a place like this can just sit there for a full 10 years already and not be destroyed or have some cars/parts stolen. This is a very busy part of Limoges with shops and traffic all around it. (tip: if you want to keep the identity of this place hidden, don't just blur the big sign but check the small details as well)
Hi coling. There was als abandon Ford dealer somewhere in Belgium and the cars in side looking brand new waiting for service.lather al cars have gravity More lather al Windows ar smashed All cars are... smashed it broke my hart. So i hopen coling that nothing happend here afther months I have drive Peugeot 104 model ford fiesta...and it's give me lot of memories Thank u so much colling
Thanks!
Unbelievable really liked the Peugeot 405 such a good looking car
Pininfarina did a great job on that one for sure. I prefer it to the similar Alfa 164.
Growing up my dad had a 405 td estate, loved that car as kid, was so sad when one day it decided to set itself on fire.
It's such a shame. All those beautiful cars. I think this was the era when Peugeots had their best design. I especially loved the 405 and the 605. Timeless. Future classics.
I think I would spend weeks just looking around at those books and manuals, and then a few months looking around at the cars. What a find
old man walks in after a month, "i see you found my collection" 😂
OMG this is heaven for someone like me that loves Peugeots from 70s, 80s and 90s.
Well, heaven or hell, depending on the way we look at it.
Love the blue 305 GT.
Love the 405, really wanted an mi16, I had a MK1 Micra when I passed my test back in 07, loved it really miss that car😢
I don't understand how these places are left for years even decades, what happened to the utilities they break in to get money and where's the courts for non payment of business rates.
Other countries don’t get spanked like us, the rates are probably €100 a year
I live close to it and the owner of the building was the business tenant
Hi Colin, oh dang these cars are just sitting there! I wish the owner would sell these cars so someone can enjoy them. Have a great day❤
Colin you must have bern delirious with excitement seeing all those cars its really an amazing find.
405, truly a great car. I owned 405 STDT about 22 years ago, super comfortable and decent to drive
Wow I can’t believe these classic cars are left behind so rare to find I really hope they get saved because they deserve a another life
Wow Colin this was breathtaking! You found some real sweet cars in this one. Some pretty rare stuff as well. Love that 405 especially. Can't wait for the next video.
I'm not a fan of Peugeot, never owned one but this place was fantastic!!! Plus I just love hearing your joy and happy enthusiasm at each amazing find. What a terrific place ❤❤

I'd love a Peugeot 405 again. I owned three but the best one was my STDT in Sorrento green.
It’s a shame to see a place like this abandoned and especially those cars. I wonder if there are any abandoned dealerships in the Uk, now that would be very interesting. Great video.

Hein?
Passage SIV >> AA-123-AA,
Mi- 2009.
Hey Colin, I love the Mercedes and the fiat. Thanks for all the joy you give us in your video’s.
Incredible find and a total time capsule great that it’s not been vandalized hopefully someone saves all those cars
As we didnt see any I think this closed before the 406 was launched in the mid 90`s.
spotted @ 16:49 leaning against the wall is the rear engine cover in yellow primer for a renault 4cv
Bearded explorer you are killing me with the car Video I love the home ones you do !
Brought back memories seeing the 306, I had one and I loved it 😊
It was like driving a go cart lol
Don't tell Al at 6D Diesel you'll cost the man a fortune 😂👍👍👍
This is an epic one Colin, awesome find sir!
Nice video and keep your wonderful accent the world would be boring without any differences!
Nice one Colin 👍 Have you seen the ford dealership in Germany left for over two decades with brand new cars that have never moved ?? .
They were moved into position years ago as a memorial for the deceased owner by his wife. Apparently she is now going into a home and the place will soon be cleared out.
I have seen that one would love to be able to rescue the ford Orion at that place even though it is a left hand drive
As a very young girl, I watched Taxi movies with my father and fell in love with Peugeot 406 for life.
Cool collection of Peugeot cars ...Colin ...pretty awesome esp the white 306 ...wonder what happened to the company unless money ran out .....,👍
Oh wow another brilliant video, a couple of classics, but the mirca is a lovely little car.
I drove by there several times and didn't realise there were so many cars. Good find!!
Limoges? Or at least somewhere in Haute Vienne (87) given the number of 87 vehicles. We have a house to the NE in 16 (Charente). Our village has an old Renault garage full of old cars and parts rotting away. As a Renault lover, it’s crîminal. Old aged owner didn’t want to part with the stock.
What an extraordinary find! Didn't they make cars well back in the day. Really enjoyed seeing them. Thanks Colin 👍
Wow ! As an owner of two classic cars (Ernie and Emma ) I find this both amazing and painful to watch ! There is an absolute fortune in spares and cars there ,especially the old one ! I am surprised that some enterprising soul hasn't sorted this lot out yet !
That 505 is an STI, too. I used to have a (very rare) US-market 1986 STI. Very solid, very comfortable car.
Nice to see something from our side of channel in France with the MK1 Micra, I've had 4 or 5 french cars over the years infact still have 1 an 13 plate DS3 and all have been decent cars .Shows you how hold the Garage unit was Peugeot/Citroen killed off Talbot in 94-95ish and started building the Peugeot 206 in the ex Talbot Coventry and Paris plants. Presumably Stellantis still own the name Marque.
The old black car at 9:07 is a Peugeot (not a Renault) 203 from the early 50s. My grandad owned one and my Mum learnt to drive in it.
Thanks for sharing this. Obviously an entire backstory behind this place. Disappointed there were no 403,404 or 504s. Cars I considered the heyday of Pugs! It also is a stark reminder of how the industry has changed. When did you last leave your pride and joy at a workshop that was such a shambles?
If you’ve not been already, I think you really enjoy visiting the sparkford motor museum in Somerset. Maybe next time you’re down this way? I really enjoy your videos, thank you 😊
Its unbelievable these kind of places exist. In my country The Netherlands this would never be possible because of the lack of space.
This is a brilliant video Mr. Bearded…owned a 405mi16 and a 306 Gti-6 over the years. Great cars ❤
What a place! My Dad had a 405 1.9 GTX back in the day that used the same engine as the 205 1.9 GTI. It was a great looking car, especially in the dark green his was.

Greet little film interesting to see these some nicely preserved cars here.
An absolutely incredible find. 👍
Hey Colin omg absolutely awesome find, Loving some old cars looking pretty good with owners manual inside, love the office with all the paperwork on the desks. Sad to see some good looking old cars on the outside and mould a the seats. Thank you 😃👌🌈
The focus look good like to have seen it more.
14:17 my grandpa brought a brand new Fiat Palio Weekend in 1998 in Poland and it was a Red 1.4 and he told me in 2019 that it will be mine when I pass my driving test but he sadly passed in March 2022 and grandma scrapped it, (i passed my test in december 2023 in UK) it had 77k km (47k miles) and nothing wrong with it she just didn't want it and didn't want to wait for me to bring it to England 😢
Hi Colin.
Hope your doing good. I loved that video. What a shame all those rare Peugeot cars just sitting there.
I still miss the 505 V8 Estate I used to have a long time ago. Before that I had a 505 4 door turbo.
Take care and stay safe.
Fiat Palio/Siena weekend, in Argentina were and still very popular, same as the 505 405, focus....I had 2 Mk1 5 and 4 doors, Damm such a good car
My favourite time old Peugeot thy was much beautiful and better just sad 😢
15:01 Isn't that Audi Q7 (2015) on the magazine cover?
Amazing find, loved watching it, thanks for the upload! What a waste of stuff :( Hope it won't all get thrown away.
The steering wheels all on the wrong side major bummer 😭... The 405s iconic luc beesons film taxi
This really is amazing, would love to find out why it was left like this. Takes my mind back to 1990's.
Look at these bunch of abandoned cars, there are reliable, very nice, there looked so bad.
Thanks soo much for sharing
Hi Colin another amazing find and video.What a place,those cars were in too good a condition to be just allowed to waste away.Somebody really needs to save them.The amount of money still in that place as well just seems crazy to leave it!!! Great commentary Colin your amazement really came across. Look forward to next weeks.Take care.😃
Wow its strange why nobody has bought the place those cars are well worth saving, the 306 was nice car one of my favourite few years ago
Love that old Nissan micra in showroom,lovely shape
Not sure whether to be excited or cry. I grew up with Peugeots and I really want a 405 so to see that many in one place would be heaven for me. I'm doing a charity banger rally and managed to get a Peugeot 407 for it which is amazing but I still want a 405.

The mix between old square styling, with a hint of modern roundness, can largly only be found on cars from that time period.
I like them a lot of that.
Some great cars there and i would love to restore some of them and use them as a daily. That said, i think my Xantia will outlast me !!! 👍
What was blurred out on the Mazda upstairs?
What an amazing video top stuff mate 🔥 new subscriber for sure 🔥
Awesome! Been following you for years! Worked with Sarah for years x
13:29 I loved my old MK1 Nissan Micra
Great video, amazing place,pug 306 brilliant car😀👍👌
Great video Mate
The Ford Focus was maybe moved in much later - it has the newer numbering which started in 2009. BW-XXX-XX would mean the plates are from 2011-2012. My dad had a Lexus from that year and the plates were BV-XXX-XX
What is that very old car at 9:16? I mean what model and logo is it
There is a very good reason why those cars went unsold... they couldn't reliable bring you from point A to point B everytime you tried to start the car or it died on the road.
I see there are a lot of parts for the older cars. So they just need to be in the right shops.
Hi guys. God, that has got to be the late 80s or early 90s. I remember my dad bought a brand new Peugeot 405. Wicked video again, as always 👍. If there was a 205 GTI in there, then I would lose my shit lol. What a place. Thanks 👋 🇨🇮
Hey buddy, pro tip: Put a piece of clothing/cloth over the camera, when you're trying to shoot something on the other side of a window or glass surface. This will in most cases eliminate any reflection.
You have to wonder why a commercial property has been unused for so long? Seems longer than 2019 as a closing date.
Great video! You really enjoyed that, so did I. Looks like they tried to keep things ‘the way they were’, and time caught up. Or the owner died. Love the 405s. And the 505. 306! And the white one was a 605. The last great Peugeots 💙🤍❤
I think there's a reason why all those cars have been left there and forgotten about 😂 great vid Colin.
Its like whoever worked there went home one day and never came back.
I would love to know the back story of why it just closed. Had a 405 turbo diesel for a company many years back and it was a terrific car for going across the country with little effort.
What a find dude. I would have stayed there for days! Im off to france now haha!!
Why hadn't someone not taken them cars and fixed them they must be worth something love the videos🇬🇧
Weird one that, I'm with you with thinking it was long before 2019 it closed, but then the owners manual for a fairly recent car on the bosses desk suggests that maybe that is the case...
J'habite dans cette ville depuis mon enfance, j'ai toujours connu ce garage à l'abandon, y'a 2-3 ans y avais encore toute les voitures
I’m not a big fan of Peugeots but I did like the old 205 GTI’s and 405 Mi16’s. Let’s not forget as well the 205 T16😊
i love old peugeot (france old cars )my all family have 4X 205 1X309 and citroen ax and renault 19 :)
Hi Colin, great video!! All your videos are, what is the name of the tune at the start of the video? I've heard it on a few of your videos. Keep up the good work mate 👌
Wow that’s so cool
Thanks awesome video I enjoyed watching
@TheBeardedEⅹplorer兄弟10:20那辆车你应该把它拖回去修理一下作收藏之用
Cool cars I still can't believe there's cars we're left 😢
wow love the 405s
@8:05 that looks like a 605.
This is so sad all this stuff and cars needs to be saved and all the parts can be used to save other rare models of cars this breaks my heart being a mechanic
87, en Haute Vienne donc les alentours de Limoges, mouais il y a un quelques garages abandonné comme ça, mais pas vraiment abandonné malgré la très forte impression.
Just seen the dealership post ,that car two post hoist you would have to be careful on how high you went up
Bruh this is where i live
Im passing by it every day lol, its been like 20 years that it closed
Just can't believe that a place like this can just sit there for a full 10 years already and not be destroyed or have some cars/parts stolen.
This is a very busy part of Limoges with shops and traffic all around it.
(tip: if you want to keep the identity of this place hidden, don't just blur the big sign but check the small details as well)
its a wonder any of those cars have not been towed away for scrap?
old Peugeot's do not rust, great build quality back then
Possibly the cars in the workshop were auction cars being prepped to sell.
Hi coling.
There was als abandon Ford dealer somewhere in Belgium and the cars in side looking brand new waiting for service.lather al cars have gravity
More lather al Windows ar smashed
All cars are... smashed it broke my hart.
So i hopen coling that nothing happend here afther months
I have drive Peugeot 104 model ford fiesta...and it's give me lot of memories
Thank u so much colling
Colin, watch out for Inspector Clouseau & his mates they may not be as friendly as the ones in your videos a week or so ago
