A hidden hoard of classic cars that would delight any vintage vehicle enthusiast has been found in a rural warehouse in Wales.
The motor graveyard, which is filled with iconic brands such as Bentleys, Jaguars, a Porsche and even a Rolls-Royce, was discovered earlier this year.
With many covered in dust and rust, missing doors and windows, and some even having plants growing inside them, the treasure trove has seen better days.
But the person who found them says he believed the historic and sentimental value of what is inside means it could be worth up to £1million.
A motor graveyard filled with Rolls Royce, Jaguar and Porsche cars have been found withering away in a warehouse in Wales
The collection - worth up to a staggering £1 million - is every car enthusiasts dream
However many of the antique cars have seen better days with many hidden away behind plants, or gathering dust as they rot away in the warehouse
Urban explorer Daniel Sims, made the astonishing find but is refusing to reveal the location of the warehouse for fear of attracting looters
Daniel Sims, who is refusing to reveal the location of the warehouse for fear of attracting looters, said he was amazed to find the 'impressive' collection.
The 35-year-old, who is an urban explorer, said there must have been more than 100 vehicles hidden away in the building, which he has documented for his YouTube channel Bearded Reality.
He said: 'I was tipped off about a potential massive car graveyard by another explorer so I decided to check it out for myself.
'I don't know anything about the history of the place other than whoever has been collecting these cars for decades and has an impressive collection which they must be proud of.
'I love taking photos of different things and items and dramatic places such as this and showing how these places and items end up,' Mr Sims added.
'For a lot of people, these iconic cars will hold a lot of memories.
'There were no scary moments but we were interrupted towards the end of the exploration by some locals who were worried we could be burglars as there had been some rural crime taking place in the area recently.
'We explained how we were photographers and moved on from the area.
'Just the sheer amount of vehicles collected which is rare to see and was a real treat to see so many iconic cars collected here.'
