A bunch of kids up to no good on the outskirts of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil have inadvertently discovered an automotive treasure trove after they broke into an old building to explore.
Sharing the video of what they found on social media, the trespassing teenagers revealed an Aladdin’s Cave of forgotten cars, parts, memorabilia and even a library and coffee shop.
According to Motor1, the collection of cars were originally part of a private museum for a wealthy Brazilian car enthusiast.
Spanning from the 1920s to the 1970s, among the dusty exhibits include everything from the world's first mass-produced car, the Ford Model T to the still futuristic-looking Citroen DS, 'unsafe at any speed' Chevrolet Corvair, to pretty Fiat 124 Sport Coupe.
From a quick glance at the license plates, despite most of the vehicles being in pristine condition, none had been on the road for decades.
Comprising over two-floors, the weird, wonderful mixture of British, French and American rare vehicles continued with a Austin A90 Atlantic coupe and convertible, a Ford Consul, and bizarre Goliath three-wheeled pick-up.
Originally curated by the owner back in the 1990s, it's rumoured until the kids broke in the private museum had stood empty for almost two decades.
With the original collector now dead, the museum had been the subject of a legal tussle between its heirs who are twins – one twin wanted to keep the collection together while the other wanted to sell everything off and pocket the proceeds.
Following the break-in it now seems like the collection will be offered for sale, with the Fiat 124 Sport Coupe the first to be advertised at a very reasonable R$65,000 (£8800).
The ten trespassing teenagers, meanwhile, will still have a lot of explaining to do, following details of the illicit visit to the secret museum was leaked to the authorities and the police paid a visit to their parents.
