Inside abandoned classic car graveyard where Jaguars and Austins have been left to rust for decades
AN URBAN explorer has discovered a classic car graveyard where beautiful motors have been left to rust for decades.
British favourite like Jaguars and Austins dating back to the 1960s make up most of the collection, which may be concealing some rare hidden gems.
The cars are believed to have been collected by an unknown enthusiast and the reason why they have been abandoned remains unknown.
Images show the vehicles, many in quite bad disrepair, sat in an overgrown patch of woodland.
Some appear to have been involved in quite bad crashes, while all of them have clearly been there for quite some time.
One lies in the grass with no windows or doors, while another has been overtaken by nature, with cobwebs and branches engulfing the interior.
A third, meanwhile, has its bonnet out of line with its body and appears to have been struck hard.
The spooky snaps were taken by urban explorer Grant Vincent.
He said: “All of the cars, overgrown with grass, brambles and other weeds were all very interesting and unique, great for photos.
“But the main find for me was the car wreck that appeared to have been in a bad crash. I particularly liked photographing that.”
Asked about the collection, he added: “Most of the cars were very old, I’d say between 40 and 60 years old.
“I believe whoever owned these cars was a collector of Jaguar cars as there were a number of them dotted around the location.
“Also there was fairly large statue of a Jaguar in the garden of the house nearby.”
Grant discovered the classics in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Though they have gone to ruin, in their heyday the cars would have been the height of fashion.
In the ’60s, Jags were very much in demand, especially due to their exploits at the famous Le Mans race.
Top models could cost up to £45,000 in today’s currency.
Grant continued: “This explore was quite unusual. Walking around the location in broad daylight with houses all around us, surrounded by old, decaying cars was great, but a little odd.
“Throughout the explore, my friends and I would continually question the history of the cars and who owned them.”
