Hidden Car Graveyard: Exploring With Boss Returns to an Overgrown Barn Find Full of 1940s–1980s ClassicsSome barn finds are a single car under a tarp. This one is a whole hillside of them, slowly being swallowed by the woods. In a 15-minute video from the UK urban exploration channel Exploring With Boss, the host returns to a hidden property he first visited about nine months earlier, and the difference between winter and summer is dramatic. Where snow once made every car easy to see, nettles, brambles and tree branches now hide most of them.A Second Visit to a Place Lost in TimeThe channel, which has about 22,900 subscribers, describes the location as an abandoned barn find holding multiple classic vehicles from the 1940s to the 1980s. Exploring With Boss, who jokes about being 6'4" and far too big for this kind of work, says it was one of his most difficult explores yet: climbing over walls, ducking under collapsed barn roofs and squeezing through gaps between rusting bodywork. He also asks viewers who recognize the spot to keep it to themselves, so the exact location isn't given.It is easy to see why. Rain is dripping through failing roofs, the timbers holding up one barn are in rough shape, and he warns that it is only a matter of time before parts of it come down. Along the way he is stung by nettles, tears his jeans climbing a wall, and falls over once in the undergrowth.What Is Still Sitting ThereNear the entrance, a rusting car still wears an MG Rover plate, and a Honda and two small Toyotas sit nearby. The host says he is starting to appreciate these later cars more as they get harder to find. Inside the first barn is a Ford Cortina, and a separate barn holds a Ford Capri, which he films from on top of a wall to get a better angle. One viewer in the comments suggests the Capri is a Ghia model based on its wheels.The standout for many viewers is the interior shot of a pale blue dashboard and period steering wheel, which the host calls beautiful despite some rot in the lower footwell. Close by is an Austin with two number plate lights, a rear end he guesses could be a Jaguar Mark 2 (he doesn't uncover it to find out), and a Hillman Husky he calls a very rare vehicle, with its lights and windows taped over. Old static caravans, possibly from the 1970s, are also rotting among the trees.Name That CarPart of the fun is the guessing game. At one point the host admits he can't identify a car with taped-up lights and says it looks like a Rover 75 from the 1950s or maybe a Standard Vanguard. Commenters have since leaned toward a Rover P4, with one pointing to the two-tone paint and larger rear window as signs of a 1959-or-later car. The car's identity isn't confirmed in the video, so treat those as viewer opinions.The video finishes with the host heading toward the property's house, which he didn't explore on his first visit, so there is clearly more to come.More Abandoned Finds on Finding Old CarsIf vehicles left to the elements are your thing, these stories are worth a look: the 1979 VW Beetle Epilogue Edition pulled from a shed after 24 years, the 1967 Ford Mustang that sat abandoned for 40 years, and the 1928 Pierce-Arrow Model 81 barn find in Massachusetts.
