We found eerie car graveyard in the forest with fleet of classic motors left to rot – including rare vintage model

AN explorer has discovered an eerie car graveyard hidden in the forest with a fleet of decaying classic motors.

Stuart Stokes, from Birmingham, regularly ventures out to find abandoned vehicles.

On his YouTube channel, the petrolhead has shared his latest find which is tucked away in the woods.

Stuart explains that it is easy to miss the graveyard if you didn't know what you were looking for.

The explorer has visited the place before though, and has grown fond of it.

This time, he has discovered that more cars were added to the rows of abandoned ones, and some of them are quite impressive.

The classic fleet included an iconic Volkswagen Beetle - a small car with the longest production history in the automotive world.

The easily recognisable vehicle has been in production for 65 years, and over 21.5million models have been born during this time.

With such a long history, it's no wonder that many of the Beetles end up at landfills and graveyards.

The turquoise carcass without headlights and wheels is all that remains of the legendary motor.

But the interior looks more promising, and despite the mess scattered everywhere, still has hope of returning to its former glory.

The YouTuber said: "The inside looks okay really. Definitely a fixer-upper."

Another vehicle rusting in peace at the graveyard is a Triumph Stag - a classic sports convertible which was sold in the 70s.

With its roof open, the once-luxurious vehicle has fallen victim to the nature's elements.

Its floors and seats are covered in muddy rainwater as they slowly corrode.

Stuart has also stumbled upon a rare vintage model that's been covered by overgrown weed.

The explorer has called this an "epiphany of a field find" as he uncovered a red Nissan 200SX - a fastback motor from a Japanese brand.

"I've tried to buy this car several times," Stuart added.

The forgotten vehicle had been purchased brand new in 1989 and served its owner for many years, accumulating an impressive 157,000 mileage.

This is why I like what I do. Just finding little gems like this

It hit the road for the final time in 2005, Stuart explains.

The deserted car still has its original stickers on, wheels in "fantastic condition" and solid floors.

Apart from cracked windows and rat faeces on the seats, little gives away that this vehicle hasn't been driven in for years.

But the explorer says it can only be used for its parts.

"You'd have to break apart if you were to buy it," he adds.

But Stuart has found a vehicle that he believes is worth the hassle.

The Bedford CF2 van- manufactured in the UK in the 70s and 80s - has been left to rot with its keys still inside.

Based on an insurance sticker, the van was last seen on the road in 2009 and has travelled over 94,000 miles while it was in its prime.

Although it is now entirely covered in rust and cobwebs, Stuart believes it is still worth saving.

He said: "What a cool old thing this is.

"This is why I like what I do. Just finding little gems like this."

Another motor fan has discovered property with hundreds of cars from his childhood and walks the rows of cars weekly to reminsce.

Some readers say the condition of the cars makes them feel "incredibly sad."

A graveyard with dozens of rusting iconic cars was also spotted on the side of a busy road.

A collection of Ford Model Ts - one of the most iconic cars in American history - span a large grass field and received a visit from a YouTuber.

Meanwhile, a Brit was left shocked after finding a vintage car graveyard abandoned in a forest in the UK.

Ashley Urbex from Milton Keynes heard about the treasure trove from a friend and knew she had to see it for herself.

The pair investigated the location in Nottinghamshire where there are reportedly 50 classic and vintage motors – which have been “left to sadly rot”.
