‘I’ve never found anything like this’ – Inside eerie deserted mansion where a supercar sits abandoned and left to rot
A YOUTUBER has discovered an eerie abandoned mansion where a supercar sits deserted and gathering dust.
The Bearded Explorer, Colin Smith, said he had “never found anything like it” when he stumbled upon the hidden treasure while exploring the desolate spot.
He starts by hiking through the forest, battling overgrown branches and unruly terrain before arriving at the forgotten fortress.
When Colin reaches his destination he is audibly impressed saying: “Look at the house my goodness me that is absolutely stunning.”
In the garden, he films a stagnant swimming pool describing it as “absolutely disgusting” before setting his sights on finding a way into the house.
Fortunately, he is able to easily make his way into the property and begins with the “very creepy” kitchen.
Inside the room, the wallpaper is ripped and torn off the walls and the carpet is covered in dirt.
The rest of the property is in a similar sorry state with broken glass covering the floors and bathroom taps completely seized up.
Walking into the master bedroom the YouTuber finds it riddled with mould and with shards of glass littering the floor.
Colin expresses his dismay at seeing such a beautiful building in such poor condition.
He says: “It is absolutely mind-blowing how do places like this become derelict and forgotten about I don’t understand.”
Making his way into the garage Colin is disappointed to find it’s completely sealed up.
But, his deflation is short-lived as when he peers around the corner he discovers a black Porsche 911 Carrera 4S sitting in front of him.
Colin is left speechless by his discovery, shaking his head and saying: “I can’t believe this.”
The back window of the motor has been smashed, while the tires are flat and covered in cobwebs.
The vehicle has been left unlocked and upon opening the doors more dirt and dust sprinkles the interior.
“This is heartbreaking,” Colin says.
Car Auctions: How To Nab A Bargain
Car auctions are a way to sell vehicles based on a bidding system with the highest offer securing the deal.
Auctions aren’t restricted to the rich and famous as thousands of cars are sold at motor auctions in the UK each week.
Here’s what you need to know before attending an auction:
- Be prepared: Do your research on the car you would like to purchase beforehand.
- Check the car: Cars will usually be lined up before the start, so make sure to arrive early to inspect the desired car thoroughly.
- Have a back-up: Be ready for disappointment as your desired motor may be sold to someone else and select a few back-ups.
- Be realistic: Realise that there won’t be a “perfect” car at an auction and adjust expectations accordingly.
- Set a budget: It is easy to overspend in the heat of the moment during bidding. Ensure you have set a budget and do not go over it.
Key phrases to look out for:
- ‘No major mechanical faults’ – suggests that there shouldn’t be any issues with the car’s drivetrain, gearbox, suspension, or engine.
- ‘Specified faults’ – the auctioneer will read out specific faults.
- ‘Sold as seen’ – the vehicle is sold with any problems it may have. The auction company will rarely entertain complaints regarding the mechanical or cosmetic condition of these vehicles after sale.
- ‘Sold with a warranted mileage’ – The car is being offered based on the report, which confirms the mileage through an independent check.
In the caption for his video he writes: “The car has been off the road since 2013 and has x4 flat tyres, all the brakes are seized, the rear window smashed & moss growing on the rear seats.
“This truly upsets me seeing such a wonderful car collecting dust and being neglected like this.”
The flashy motors can be worth £110,000 new and have an incredible top speed of 190 mph.
It comes as a homeowner has hit out at their neighbour for leaving a rusty old abandoned car “melting into the ground” in a communal parking space.
The fuming resident said that the eyesore motor was “bringing the place down” but was stumped on how to get rid of it.
Sharing their fury on Reddit, they explained that residents parking is allowed on the road leading up to their semi-detached property, with bays being shared with other houses in the area.
They wrote: “There are no driveways but allocated spaces as per title deeds for each property and then a few spare spaces for turning purposes and visitor parking.
“There is a neighbour who has left a Land Rover in a spare space for over 6 years now.
“It is literally melting into the ground.”
