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

quite a find Alec !! bracket for spare wheel on the back chrome held up !!1938 wow
Amazing find And video looks a fantastic day to stay safe 😀
Hi Alec,Yet another Great Explore.What find.
THAT WAS WORTH IT AL THAT WAS COOL BAFFLES THE MIND HOW IT GOT OUT THERE CONSIDERING WHAT YOU GUYS WENT THROUGH TO GET THERE 🤘🤘🤘
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. 👍❤️😊

Awesome explore. What a beautiful car and great photos Alec. I love all the banter too. Well done.
Awesome find Alec! That bumper still has the factory shine. Amazing. Great Job!

How crazy is this.. in the middle of no where.. maybe stolen and hidden? A fun explore to watch. Thanks
This will be great thanks ..
What a find!
Great pictures!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s a pity this old Opel car wasn’t saved long ago. She is a real rarity and obviously was a beauty in her day. I don’t get why she was abandoned in the first place. What a waste!
Great pics at the end Alec. 80+ years and still in the woods, but why?
Good day to you alec and good evening here in philippines...keep safe always!😊
🍃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. 🍃
I thought my car was old being 50 this year, but 1938 bloody ancient!! 👍
What a beaut!!! Sure would love to know the story behind her. Reckon why it was just abandoned there?! I love it. ❤
That was class mate.

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.

Great video, just discovered your channel. Been wondering where the car is, any starting point? I understand the area is protected, makes me think it's near loch garten? Any pointers would be gratefully received. I'm an outdoor lover and respect the land wherever i go. If you're ever back, loch vaa and loch an eilean are great walks 👌🏼
This Opel Olympia was made in after war production (1947-1949).
Hi Alex nice video I do not thing that car will past a MOT 🤣👍
Good morning Alec. What a great find. Reminds me of a Jaguar. Makes me wonder how and why it was left here. What a waste.. Maybe there was a house nearby. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

No I don't. My father had one like that for many a year. It reminded me of the older models.
LoL! My ex use to redo old cars and then build a hot rod engine. He is a great mechanic. The name of the show should be, " He shulked his shorts then dons his pantaloons." 😆🤭🙃 Great pictures btw.
Ooooo, did it have bullet holes in the bodywork? 😏😏 I would love to know so much more about why this car was left here. Nice trek. Thanks Alec ☺️

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.

I doubt it was airlifted, pushed or towed so I guess that kinda narrows it down doesn't it
