The M635csi would be an amazing car to have! It’s power, looks nice and it’s quite rare too.

I would recommend you to lean towards the 2002, sl or the 635csi

I'd go with the 300zx. Finding a manual turbo in that good of a shape is really rare. Plus, when gone through mechanically, it should be a relatively trouble free car in comparison to some of the other options. Plus parts are super available.

Never thought i'd hear "barn find" in a thick, British accent again. *I already miss you, Horizon 4*

Man I'd love to see Mat buying the Porsche and taking it to Richard Hammond's classic car restoration workshop

I would definitely own a 635csi, its like one of the best cars bmw has ever produced and its really good to drive

I'd definitely go for the 300zx. Truly amazing car and a rare manual too. Could become a nice project car

I’m genuinely lost for words, seeing some of these hidden gems is why I love cars. Would be so satisfying to see these all restored and detailed.

That 635 CSi looks incredible!

The cars are really interesting, but I feel the story behind this warehouse could be even more amazing. Any chance you can elaborate on this?

Racional choice is the G wagon with a bit of tlc and updating some body parts and the engine to a OM 606 with diesel pump uk you get an amazing classic that can be used daily.

Mat I'm so jealous I recognised every car immediately and that 300zx is the one I wouldmof taken no hesitation followed sharply by the iconic 635csi both of which I had in my twenties back in the day. Incredible collection of cars and I hope they all end up in good hands. Long live the combustion engine

that stick shift 300zx is 🔥🔥🔥

The 2002 all day long! I had a 1602 when based in Germany as a young soldier and always aspired to the 2002. Houses, wives and kids got in the way! 30+ years later and I’m still hankering for one!

If all the cars would have anti- bird-poop- covers on them then would be alot more sellable :) This is a strange collection, like somebody collected alot of possible restoration project and stored them there...

buy the one which deserves to live on. that should be your criteria. love your work man!

I think BMW 2002 will be Perfect. It’s just too beautiful 😍

That MX-5 is a pretty good deal, I'd consider getting that. They're getting expensive now. Also prolly the 300ZX and/or 2002

The split windows Kombi for sure and the 635csi very close second. Good find.

seen this on fb for years finally a video!

300 ZX - bullet proof engine too - last forever if kept well - and it a legend too. Rare manual! wow

Really like the red G300. Two door G-wagon. Lots of potential for a cool project.

The Nissan 300 z , it's reliable , it has a manual with a 6 cylinder engine , it's cool it's fun , Mat brother I think you should go for the 300 z

I’d go for the 2002, lovely car, lovely colour. 👍

Hello Mat, I think you should go for the BMW 635sci since such a lovely cruising car. Second choice for me would be the BMW 2002. As for a house I suggest you should get a house built from scratch with a huge garage outside! For better sound accustics go for a ceiling height of 270 cm instead of the common 240 cm. It will feel roomier too of course, and not so much more space to heat!

I had a 1985 BMW M535i when I lived in Germany. It was metallic silver with a black Nappa leather interior. A fabulous car to drive.

The Austin Champ would be my choice. I bought 2 of these at a government auction in 1968 for £60 each, quite surprised at the estimate for one of these.

If you get your “new” car(s) Mat, I would be more than happy to help you out with a free deep clean and polish! 🤩

The 300zx (z31) Turbo Facelift (V6) is a very rare car. Most were Non turbo's with auto gearboxes. In the Uk they only sold for a year or two (88/89) I believe before the newer Z32 came out. I had one years ago when I was younger, great cars to drive Matt. It gets my vote.

I would go with the 300 or the 2002. MG Migets are fun, I loved the one that I had, but I was constantly working on it. Have fun picking one out.

OMG 😳 unbelievable, the cars on show have made me dribble lol 😆 pure classics, covered in dust and not touched in years.. love the old G Wagon at the start 👌

Mat. I'd go for one of the Bimmers. The 2002 looks amazing! The 635CSi looks brilliant and the M535i is awesome!

The M635csi - it is just ultimate coolness, but it seems to need a TON of work, you should think about a repair shop in your new house.

1* porsche , you've got to love a naturally aspirated 2.7 targa. Also I believe paid all restorations you might still be in for a profit, targas are pretty rare . 2* the red G , love a good G and that's immaculate. 3* either the land rover or the red BMW

I didn't think carwow can level up their content but i think you just did it ... damn this is awesome !

The little Mercedes 4 x 4 was my fav. Amazing the seller didn't want to try to get a little more money by polishing them all up and detailing them.

That manual Nissan 300zx looks fun!

Head spinning! But out of the ones you particularly pointed out, I think the BMW 2002. Not a TII, obviously, but beautiful! BTW, would love more “Find Me A Classic”.

8:24 I'll take that Land Rover Pickup - awesome beast

Loving all the content Matt!

I think G-Class looks decent but It would've been nice if that had a Manual. But I think you should consider BMW 2002, Blue Mercedes SL (Looks Gorgeous btw) and a Targa non-Targa 911!

Mat, you need the smallest cog to help you with this. This is perfect. Give Hamster a quick call!!

From your picks I'd go for the 2002, looks very clean and original. I think you missed the best though, the 500SL with the rubber spoiler. Together with the 420SL they are the rarest and best investments.

There's quite a lot of junk here, good for spares maybe or major restorations. Considering they're in a warehouse they're poorly stored and only a few covered. Some high mileages may me think many of them were destined for the scrapyard and bought just to be stored or for parts rather than ever used again. Either BMW 2000 or 2002 were the only ones that got me interested, or maybe some of the older Mercs. (edit - the land that warehouse is on must be easily worth 10 million for redevelopment!)

Honestly, for the old stuff I'd say one of the Mercs. I think I saw a late 60's SE or C, somewhere in the background; when you showed us the parts section. That would be my pick if it's priced okay.

Definitely the 2002 , good ones are very sought after , great colour and the auto box is good.

Your 2002 choice is quite smart but that 635 is a real head turner IMO 🤘🏻

I’m guessing the original owner of this collection has passed away and the beneficiary is overwhelmed and just wants to get rid.

2002 hands down for me. Looks clean and will only appreciate in value.

I always liked the old Beemers. They didn't have the loathing that modern ones get due to the way they're driven - yes I know how responsive they are and that's why people have them. The 635CSi is a beauty and worth the £17k but I think you like that 2002 more.......

VW camper-van all the way. Worth the effort of restoring and you’ll make a tidy profit hopefully!

If video games have taught me anything, rare old cars in a barn on someone's property are always free.

The 635 csi is my dream classic car. Such a good looking car.

Look at that find wow 😲

The 2002 definitely! It is in amazing condition!

Go for the Z! Manuals aren't as common, and those 300ZXs are fantastic to drive!

8k for a 80s mini which will need restoring, worlds gone mad 😂

I would get the Porsche 911. Super reliable looks amazing, and sounds amazing.

I agree with previous comments. Any of the bmw's would make a great purchase. Especially the 635csi. Thats a beast

Damn the Austin Champ looks sick, like a beefed up Willy's, i'd definitely go for that

Oh man, a manual 300ZX, that's awesome!

When you looking car in US usually you will go through Copart. Really good place to get crazy deals in US. In US you can check car which kind of title have. Most salvage title or some other cat.D cars(UK) are there in Copart. I know there is "title washing" throughout states But if you put VIN number into search engine can find you really nasty surprises if the car came through them. Was missing it in Copart UK. Car vertical is something similar to that but depends on search engine

I'd say 300zx, even though it's filthy. Manual, 3 litre, JDM, it's just got everything!

Nissan 300z is most valuable car that you could find there. I think it's more profitable in the future

I think the very last BMW , it's going to look mega once cleaned and mechanics sorted .

Detailing heaven!

God damn mat thought you was going to but something in this video... can't believe you did me like that 🤣🤣

The M635CSI would be a good car to own at such time , it looks phenomenal ❤️

7:24 I think you'll find that's a VG30ET V6 Turbo rather than a straight 6 unless the previous owner dropped an RB in it...

That auto 2002 is actually preferable to manual cars for engine/transmission swaps.

These cars in a warehouse opposite Hackney impound centre. They were for sale on Ebay but they wanted stupid money for them and I think they only sold a couple. They were supposed to hold a big auction but it didn't seem to happen. Some of the number plates don't belong to the cars they are on. This lot has been floating about since the beginning of the year. They claimed that all the cars drove in there under their power, which is difficult as some are in bits

9:29 have a closer look at that red W124, those are solid. Otherwise the BMW 635

Nissam 300Zx manual ✨️

Get the G300 it has an OM606 engine which is basically the diesel version of a 2JZ. You can get like +650hp

Very cool

I think that you must choose the csl, and second the sl's. these cars in my opinion hold more value and in future they will inflate their value

Go for the 2002 !

The 635 & the Merc 300GD , the 3 door G could look serious with some beefed up wheels and TLC

1975 or so, were 10x that many in a sale in Detroit area... All stuff from the teens-30's... but this is still pretty cool ;)

The "barn" itself is surely worth significantly more being in north London. The cars pale in comparison to the price of that land :p The whole thing seems a bit sus. The tyres on the cars are still inflated too. Doesn't look like they've been sitting still long.

love from Kenya 🙏

I'm partial to MGs and Triumphs, so I would go for the Midgets and that MG A I think I saw, or any Healey models, Sprites specifically. Older the better. That way, you can buy four or five for what you'll spend on the one BMW or that 300zx

That's beautiful, I see the bmw 2002 s all over the place in Brooklyn, very interesting car.

That mx5 could be a bargain at that price, if it’s solid underneath!

Hey Matt. This place has been open for a while now and me friends and I visited, offered and was unable to buy.. have they sorted the buying process now !!!🤔

I remember those Rovers being on the road when I was in London from 1967-1970

“Supposed to be buying a house- not more cars.” You and me both Mat, you and me both.

Come on, it has to be the 635. Although it may cost a bomb, I’d switch it to a manual.

635csi all day long!

The Nissan 300 wins my heart, then it’s the Mercedes G class and the s class coupe models, the Mazda mx-5 , then the bmw 635 , any of these would make a great deal ✅

Hi Mat, my choice would be def. the M535i!, After that the 635CSI and the VW van T2

I would love an MX-5 for 2000, you dont see them under like 5 by me, even with high millage

911! It would makes some great content seeing you restore that to its original condition

Wow that Car Vertical looks fantastic

oh my god that looks incredible

Any of the Mersedes SL would be amazing

The G would be awesome, and you could probably retro fit a leather interior inside of it from a newer one since its the same generation until 2019 I think, and maybe manual swap it too!

Go for all of them 😱🔥

Awesome video
