An impressive collection of classic cars has been discovered in an abandoned warehouse – including vintage Porsches, Chevrolets, and BMWs.

Other models include Cadillacs, Ford, and Mercedes dating back to the 1960s and 1970s.

Also found inside the storage facility, which spans the size of three tennis courts, were all kinds of spare parts.

The former land owner, Louis Coetzer, was well-known in the classic car industry for having one of the biggest Mercedes-Benz collections.

In 2020, he sadly passed away after being involved in a car accident.

Since then, his family has auctioned off many of his assets, including 240 vehicles from his collection, which they assumed was everything he had.

But when deciding to sell off some of his land, they uncovered the warehouse which hadn’t been checked for years – containing 600 vehicles covered in dust.

Inside, there was a 1951 Mercedes pick-up known as a “bakkie” and the 300 SE model, which is listed elsewhere online secondhand for up to £20,000.

Louis Coetzer, from South Africa’s Eastern Cape, is believed to have started his fascination for cars when he was in primary school, where he would collect toy vehicles and make paper versions, too.

As he reached adulthood, his interest blossomed into real cars and soon, he became a household name in the country.

He was a popular guest at motoring events and was nicknamed “Uncle Louis”.

Now, the last remaining vehicles from his impressive collection are going up for auction.

The Lost Barn Find Collection auction will take place on 25 March 2024 until 3 April 2024.
