In this video, he's driven to explore a wooded field with another YouTube explorer where he knows a collection of rare British classics has been stashed.

The cars in question were made by Wolseley, a lesser-known British brand that existed for almost 75 years until 1975.

Today, you can eat posh nosh at the Wolseley restaurant in London which used to be a Wolseley dealership, but that's all that remains.

The pair eventually find the abandoned classics that have been there so long trees have started growing through them.

Although Wolseley had a long history, the cars in this wood look to be mainly 1950s and 1960s models.

It seems as though a couple were being used for parts but the cars are arguably too far gone to even restore.

Colin says: "I see too many like this.

"If you're not going to do anything with them it would be nice if people passed them on."

The pair also point out that all the cars have 'trafficators' rather than indicators that pop out to show which way you intend to turn.

Most of the cars' engines are gone but one still has its original two-tone red and grey leather interior.

Others are so overgrown with trees and foliage that Colin can't even get near them to see inside.

It looks as though this was a breakers yard for parts for the rare classics
