Inside abandoned warehouse with car graveyard of Rolls-Royces, Land Rovers and BMWs

A glimpse has been given behind the doors of an abandoned warehouse where a graveyard of luxury cars are stored.

The collection of classic cars have been shown in video footage and includes Rolls-Royces, Land Rovers, Mercedes and BMWs which have been forgotten about and left to decay.

The secret store of motors was revealed in a YouTube by Kenny Kaplan who is known for his posts about classic vehicles.

He received a tip off about the site in East Hartford, Connecticut and visited it to explore the warehouse in person.

The huge collection of cars come mainly from Europe and are rarely seen in the US.

Stepping through the door Kenny was met by a classic Rolls-Royce and several Triumph TR6s , another classic car from yester year, but the vehicles have all been forgotten about.

Those who love their BMWs will be thrilled to see old 3 and 5 Series in varying states of repair and colours.

The video footage shows an astonishing old Mercedes cars such as a 'Pagoda' SL which could be worth the most among th4e collection even if it has been abandoned.

A Peugeot 405, which was common in the UK and not surprising is an unexpected find, but the car was not popular in the US.

Rolls-Royce classics are seen including a modern red model which appears to be in great condition.

Kenny says the warehouse and its contents have been purchased and some vehicles earmarked for sale.

A Land Rover Discovery and an early Porsche Cayenne SUV are also seen later in the video and surprised some viewers of the clip sparking amazement in the comments' section.

One poster responded saying: "What an awesome unspoiled gold mine that place is."

Others were more concerned about the abandonment of the historic vehicles.

Another commenter said: "Sad to see those cars rotting like that. Some nice ones there."

The Mirror reported earlier this month how creepy old ammunition plant containing more than 1,800 abandoned classic motors has been discovered in a car graveyard.

The fascinating discovery was made by YouTuber "Mr Goodpilers" in Sidney, Nebraska after he uncovered an eery ammunition plant from World War II, which contained used vintage cars from 1930s to 1970s.

The video, which has been viewed over 200,000 times, is captioned: "Abandoned WWII Munitions Plants with a thousand Antique cars & Truck Collection! 1930s to 1970s!"

'Mr Goodpliers', the YouTuber who regularly posts videos of abandoned classic cars left dumped in garages and barns, was left astounded at the amount of cars found on the site.

In the video he said: "This is by far the largest collection I have ever filmed."

The collection iin Sidney, Nebraska and contained between 1,500 to 1,800 classic cars.
