Explorers find secret underground barn find only accessible by huge drop that has millions of dollars worth of car

There is no more mystery to our current life, Baby Boomers are often heard complaining. Ben and Eran, two urban explores from the UK, would beg to differ.

Ben and Eran are a couple of UK-based urban explorers. They often document their finds on their YouTube channel, Lost Adventures.

Ben and Eran had spotted an abandoned building in Surrey, northeast of London, for some time. They’d seen the dilapidated building and the overgrown park, but they weren’t sure what exactly it was or what purpose it had served. 

On this particular day, they decided to slip inside and, once there, they found a genuine treasure trove of old prototypes, vintage cars and wooden molds.

"I’d had my eye on it for a couple of years, as it looked so interesting," said Eran.

"We set out to explore the abandoned building with no idea what it was. We jumped down, only to find millions of pounds worth of cars underneath this place."

As the sign on the floor shows, this building belonged to Bristol Cars, the last independently-owned car manufacturer in Great Britain.

 Bristol Cars went into liquidation in May this year, when the current health crisis hit home big time. 

However, based on the video below, these cars have been there for much longer, gathering dust and slipping into complete oblivion.

Bristol Cars, named after the city where they were built for decades, was formed as part of the Bristol Aeroplane Company after the Second World War and went independent in 1960.

Kasun Waduge, financial controller for Bristol Cars, tells the Daily Mail that some of the cars are their property but “others are privately owned and we are looking after them.” 

However, “we were only holding them temporarily but they couldn't be picked up and they remained there for some months. But none of them area really worth anything. They are just junk.”

If this is junk, it’s very expensive junk because the entire collection is worth around £1 million ($1.3 million). 

David Fletcher, valuer for Wyles Hardy & Co, the auction house that’s overseeing the disposal of all Bristol Cars assets, says that the lot is being auctioned – and they’re expecting to fetch this amount for it.
