I’ve discovered a retro Ford graveyard full of timeless classics – it’s amazing but heartbreaking all at the same time
A MAN has discovered a retro Ford graveyard full of timeless classics and says that it’s amazing, but heartbreaking all at the same time.
The explorer found these gems in the grounds of an abandoned cottage in Coventry two years ago – and has visited the place again to check on the condition of the vehicles.
The car fanatic documented his incredible findings on a YouTube channel @ImStokze, where he showcased a goldmine of old classic cars – including a Land Rover.
The video starts in a courtyard, and in the distance, you can make out a red Ford Van that has fallen into a state of complete disrepair.
Next up, there’s a black Mitsubishi and an old Ford Transit van.
The video host then wanders over to a Ford Escort entirely hidden behind the trees.
Later, he uncovers a Ford Ka finished in red and a blue Ford Fiesta that possibly could be repaired and hit the road again.
He continues around the graveyard and discovers a white Ford Escort XR3i covered in dirt that was registered in 1989.
Near it is a 48 year-old Land Rover, finished in green, with 67,051 miles covered – according to its last MOT.
The explorer said: “The last time I came to this location was about two years ago, and quite shockingly, nothing has been touched or removed.
“Most places like this get destroyed and ransacked for anything valuable.”
The video has had more than 19,731 views in less than six days.
And users were amazed by the youtuber’s discovery.
One said: “Another great selection of classic vehicles. You always find the best locations for us classic car spotters.”
Another said: Awesome video as always, especially the classic Fords will always watch any of your videos as all good. Put everything you can into the channel. Massively appreciated.”
A third pointed out: “That’s a great find; always wonder why they have been left and who owned them.”
