Social media star Peter Kaczynski shared the incredible find to his 139k Instagram followers, boasting he got to experience something "most people dream about".

The photographer, who describes himself as a "gearhead" and "automotive enthusiast", reguarly shares pictures and videos of classic and iconic sports cars he sees while he's out and about.

But perhaps his most incredible find is the moment he discovers an abandoned Lamborghini Countach LP400S alongside a Ferrari Testarossa.

The lucky motors fan says the two supercars had been left forgotten for years at an undisclosed location and compares it to a "real life Forza Horizon barn find⁣" - in reference to the popular video game series.

The Countach appears to be inside an old barn or shed surrounded by discarded junk, while the Testarossa has seemingly been left inside a large metal trailer in a heavily overgrown area of woodland close-by.

The Countach, which comes with a gorgeous white leather trim inside, is considered one of the most well-recognised supercars of the 1970s and 80s and popularised the iconic 'Italian Wedge' shape.

It was famously used as an F1 safety car between 1980 and 1983 at the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, and also featured in a scene in the Hollywood blockbuster 'The Wolf of Wall Street'.

The Testarossa is perhaps best known for being the main car featured on the cult 1980s televsion cop series 'Miami Vice'.

A fully-restored Testarossa could sell for around £125,000, while Countachs are listed online for as high as £800,000.
