The location remains a secret but after a 20min trek through a wood Colin and his friend find the old barn.

There are a few cars scattered around outside, but like the barn, they are almost hidden by the sheer amount of foliage that has grown up around them.

Outside is one of many Mark II Cortinas, as well as one of a few very rare Ford Sierra XR4is.

Colin then heads into the main barn where he finds a Mark I transit van that’s halfway through a restoration that was abandoned.

Next is a mint green first-generation Ford Fiesta, and Colin asks: “How many of these can be left in the world?”

It’s then on two more Sierra XR4is including one ultra-rare model only sold in the US.

But towards the end of the video is one very special model – a Lotus Ford Cortina Mark II.

Only around 4,000 (versus more than one million regular Cortina Mark IIs) of these sporty models were ever made, making this an incredible find.
