Their savvy owner vowed to lock away the motors for decades until their value rose so much he could sell them for profit.

Car enthusiast Becky Evans took a tour of the giant shed where the motors were lined up gathering grime.

Footage posted to her YouTube channel showed rows of BMWs, Mercedes and a Volkswagen Beetle.

And viewers were stunned as they took a tour of the astonishing timewarp collection.

One motor that really caught Becky’s eye was the BMW Z3 worth around £20k which was left to decay.

The iconic two-seater sports rear-drive coupe and roadster was debuted in the 1995 James Bond Movie GoldenEye, where 007 briefly drove a blue version in Cuba.

Becky, who was hoping to buy one of the cars, was left in awe of the incredible collection of ageing motors.

In the clip, she says “I love this, this is sick. No I want it, look at it.”

The motorhead then discoverers the six series version of the BMW tucked away beneath the thick layer of dust.

And she can’t believe the owner previously owned 4 Jeep 500’s that were sold for just £8000.

Becky exclaims “what!” in disbelief over this classic motor being sold for such a bargain.

Becky could not hold back the excitement as she found some series 2 Jeeps, which was her dream model as a kid.

Elsewhere in the incredible collection was a Nissan 300ZX and 3 Mercedes 280SL.

But car enthusiasts were shocked that the interior of the vintage motor was left in such amazing condition.

Another Mercedes is parked facing two other extraordinary models – the 220SE and the 280 SL.

It comes after a car graveyard with dozens of classic motors left forgotten in an overgrown woodland was discovered.

An urban explorer known as Tokyo Matilda stumbled across the abandoned motors as she filmed a video for her YouTube channel – with the find estimated to be worth around £200,000 in total.

Among the cars found were of number of British classics including a Daimler, Triumph, a classic MG with an eye-catcing red finish, a Morris Minor, and even a fire truck – with many of the vehicles dating back to the 1950s.

Due to the condition and the rareness of some of the motors, Tokyo estimates that the lot could be worth £1,000s.

Meanwhile, a spooky car graveyard packed with dozens of 1960s Volkswagen Beetles were discovered in an abandoned mine.

The astonishing timewarp collection even shows the motors to be in surprisingly good condition despite their damp surroundings.

And another explorer recently discovered an eerie car graveyard hidden in the forest with a fleet of decaying classic motors and included a Nissan 200SX.
