Video shows the dusty dealership packed to the gills with the items of car collectors dream motors. 

As he moves around the creepy shop, Youtuber Effspot explains: “Here we are at another undisclosed location in the countryside of Japan

“It seems to be a graveyard or warehouse of a lot of memorabilia of cars – mini coopers, replica cars.

“There’s another lot across the street full of stuff, go-karts, old Bentleys, VW Beatles, Mini Coopers – a literal graveyard.”

However, as they look in the windows of the dealership they became less convinced that the lot is abandoned. 

Signs on the outside of the building show that the dealership once sold Bentleys, Ferraris and Porches.

Inside are hundreds of dusty cars and bizarre memorabilia – including a lifesized statue of Tutankhamun holding a crystal ball.

He explained: “We’re lost for words at what we’re looking at. It doesn’t look abandoned. 

“We think this place has either changed ownership or the owner just likes collecting things and is using this as a storage facility.”

Another motor fan has discovered property with hundreds of cars from his childhood and walks the rows of cars weekly to reminsce.

Some readers say the condition of the cars makes them feel “incredibly sad.”

A graveyard with dozens of rusting iconic cars was also spotted on the side of a busy road.

A collection of Ford Model Ts – one of the most iconic cars in American history – span a large grass field and received a visit from a YouTuber.

The largest car graveyard is in the US

Junkyards filled to the brim with old cars are all over the US.

However, some are bigger than others. The largest in the world is in Georgia called Old Car City.

Sitting on 34 acres, the site is home to over 4,000 classic cars, vans, trucks, and buses from America and Europe.

The yard is more than just rusted cars, though. The main building has another time capsule for the early 20th century and beyond, with vintage toys and other automotive memorabilia collections.

The property has since become a museum where people can peruse the symbols of a treasured American era for $34. Weddings, parties, and corporate events can be held there, too.

Meanwhile, a Brit was left shocked after finding a vintage car graveyard abandoned in a forest in the UK.

Ashley Urbex from Milton Keynes heard about the treasure trove from a friend and knew she had to see it for herself.

The pair investigated the location in Nottinghamshire where there are reportedly 50 classic and vintage motors – which have been “left to sadly rot”.
