‘Time warp’ abandoned MOT garage found full of rare motors, including £70k Maserati, as fans say cars are now ‘artwork’
AN EXPLORER has revealed a stunning collection of hidden classic cars that could be worth a fortune.
The treasure trove of retro motors included rare Porsche, BMW and Maserati models - but some are in need of a lot of TLC.
YouTuber The Bearded Explorer posted video footage of the lucky finds onto his channel, which has almost 200k subscribers.
The video opens with the intrepid explorer outside a derelict garage where he stumbles upon an old Triumph motor which has withered away with time.
"It's obvious that this has been parked here for 30 years at least," he begins.
"So obvious that the bodywork has started to fall off the car.

"It's just become artwork more than anything else."
The explorer than encounters a vintage Jaguar engulfed by mould, before uncovering a handful of "time warp" MOT workshops with more vehicles inside.
The YouTuber zooms in on a Ford Escort XR, a BMW Z3 and a Porsche 944 buried in branches as he continues to explore.
Completing the collection is a stunning Maserati Merak surrounding by discarded tyres and spare doors.
The mid-engine sports car is worth around £70,000.
One viewer confirms that the motor was indeed a Maserati.
They said: "Great video!
"It is a Maserati Merak with its flying buttresses removed making it look like a pick up.
"The chassis on the ramp is from the TR6.
"Fascinating video."
Other viewers weighed in to applaud the influencer.
"Another great video Colin, my idea of heaven finding a garage like this, love it," one said.
Another added: "Another great find, Colin.
"It's such a shame to see such automobiles left to rot and ruin."
