Abandoned 1938 German Opal Olympia - SCOTLAND

Great day out hiking to find this old Opel Olympia stashed away deep in the forest miles away from any roads, we finally found it and from the info we could find on it we believe its been there since the late 50's

    Hey Alec. That car was pretty nice when it was new. The four-door models were even cooler with the back doors’ handles right beside the front doors’ handles. We call them suicide doors; I don’t know if you do, too? It’s always interesting to see what you show us next. 😎

    Beautiful nature and trees!! Alec, I was actually thinking the same thing, that it’s amazing to be in the middle of the forest. Also the fact that the steering wheel is on the left side. Fascinating to see this relic. Also, I loved it when you started the video out chatting with us viewers!! Deffo thumbs up from me. 👍❤️😊

    🍃07:38 - A very Good Morning to you Alec, I see we are back exploring. Nice Scenic area... Wow, An Olympian Car! 🚘 This was once an amazingly beautiful car back in it's days. What the heck is it doing all the way out there? I guess the owner had to leave it once it ran out of gasoline.. But why not come back for your vehicle? I totally agree on the idea of camping in this area. Thank you for sharing Alec. Hope all is well with you and your loved ones. 🍃

    Or, the couple who owned the car decided that they would drive it into the woods until they ran out of gas. Then he shot her and then himself. The cops didn’t bother moving the car because they were satisfied it was a murder-suicide. Neither party’s family had the money to move the car so they just left it there.

    Older than the trees. It could have been a grousemoor, and they were just using it like a landrover, only it broke down. A friend had a Messerschmidt in the 50s - just looked like a plane without wings. Shorts - never mind adders - have a look for ticks later on.
