HotCars Barn finds are pretty common these days on YouTube, and it’s not difficult to get two or three classic cars rotting somewhere such as in the middle of a farm in McKinney, Texas. But what you don’t see every day is a barn find with more than 170 classic European cars. YouTuber Freddie Atkins through his channel TheTFJJ just uploaded a video of the most insane classic barn find in London.
“I’m in this very special warehouse, I’ve not seen anything like it before in my life. It’s basically an insane collection of Mercedes, Porsche, Volkswagen, lots and lots of classic cars. BMW as well. We’re going to take a look through them. They’re all barn finds, they are all being stored here, and are coming up for sale, with London barn finds,” Atkins said.
Collection of Classic British Sports Cars
The warehouse in London has literally all the cars you’d expect to see in a classic James Bond or MI6 movie. Atkins starts the tour at the back, and right from the beginning, there are some pretty impressive classic finds.
There’s a classic Mercedes R107 SL 280 that was produced between 1971 and 1989. It’s a two-door and is amongst the second-longest single-line series that Mercedes ever produced. He also walks through a couple of Morris Minors, in generally good shape for their age.
He also stumbles upon a Porsche 911 964 Cabriolet that was sold between 1989 and 1994. It’s a two-door soft-top convertible.
“Varying states these cars, I’m told they all run. They’re just testing that now. They’ve all been driven in here at some point,” he reveals.
Among the massive lot is a Mercedes 350 SL R107, a 500 SL two-door. The 500 SL is a big V8 from the R129 generation that debuted in 1990. It was sold in two versions: the V8s, and V12. He also spots a Triumph Stag, a famous British Sportscar designed by Giovanni Michelotti and produced between 1970 and 1978.
Roadsters, Camper Vans, and Rovers

For the Jeep lovers, he walks past an excellent condition Jeep Austin that’s quite cool with a ton of life to offer. And perhaps one of the more valuable cars, a BMW 2002, BMW 535 V6, an MG older car, a Morris Minor with 128k miles, and twin-piped BMW 6 Series that’s pretty rad and in excellent condition.
There are also various MGBs, coupes, roadsters, minis, and camper vans.
“Everything in here is for sale. It’s an entire collection being sold off,” Atkins said. “All good project cars, you can hear one of the cars running in the background,” he added.
There are several classic cars, including Land Rovers, Range Rovers, and Defenders. It would be great to see what they cost and what awaits them in their new life.
Powered by Chevy’s straight-six mill, also known as the Blue Flame 6, this Corvette has a Polo White exterior and Sportsman Red interior.
