Ashley and her friend claim to have found an old Daimler, Rover 2300, Riley One-Point-Five, MG MGA, Triumph GT6 mk3, Austin 8, Hillman Hunter, Vanden Plas, Mercedes 220, an Austin Morris Mini and several Fords.
She said: “It was a struggle to get to some of the cars due to the location being overgrown and the barns falling apart.
“But we ended up being here for a couple of hours as there were so many cars to see.
