Japan's Insane Abandoned Cars

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A few months in the making, this first episode on the abandoned cars of Japan is something I’ve been wanting to do in a video format forever. Over the years I’ve come across so many abandoned or neglected cars, documenting and posting stories about them on Speedhunters, starting all the way back with the Ford RS200 Cosworth that I re-visit in this episode, and that is still in the same place 14 years on!

    So sad when you think how these vehicles would have been someone's pride and joy at one time when they were acquired. A poignant lesson I think about the value we place on objects sometimes rather than our relationships with friends and loved ones. Thanks for taking the time to document these wonderful abandoned cars.

    There's no telling what sort of life stories might have resulted in these cars ending up like this. Capturing the spider web linking the Skyline and the GMC SUV together was a nice artistic touch. Though I'm giving this video a thumbs up (and I thank you once again for the content), I'll admit that I feel a bit guilty for doing so (for obvious reasons).

    I feel it. Sometimes, life pranks us, and we gotta put some of our wishes behind us to take care of what's important at the moment. The contrast of seeing the Skyline and the GMC being left to rest there, while a well-cared Prius sits on the background. Also, I didn't expect a March Bolero quietly being there near the NSX 😂

    Having lived in Japan for a few years, I've also photographed multiple abandoned performance cars and my phone is filled with pictures. There are so many here. I even rescued one (R53 mini with tons of modifications) that sat in a driveway for years. I fixed it and then sold it back to the owner who is now driving it again. Love these videos. Seeing that E30 M3 and E34 M5 is painful as someone who has been wrenching on BMWs for years. I'd love to restore one of these.

    This is a common thing here in the states too. In fact I have a good friend who owns an original 1967 Shelby GT350. He started restoring it in the late 90s, stripped it had a show car quality $12k (90s $s) paint job put on it, started putting it back together then gave up for some reason. It’s been sitting in his mothers garage ever since. The old house is literally falling down around the car. He won’t sell it. I think he thinks that one day he will get back to it. I have my doubts.

    everyone has a story... I absolutely love abandoned cars and equally it's sad too... I believe most people have big plans and good intentions but time , money and skill often hold them back from full filling them.. The even worst part is internally and the extent of dealing with an entire fuel system with old fuel that's probably turned to a gummy goo.. all the bad rubber lines , froze up calipers / wheel cylinders etc It's a shame & and costly for owners.

    Such a shame - as you rightly say, it's not always clear what the background story is. I remember a lovely white Renault 5 GT Turbo near where I used to live in Bristol, England - tastefully modded with full roll cage etc... sat badly neglected for years outside someone's house much like the MR2 in this video, in a really sorry state covered in mould and grime, with weeds growing through it. The owner had put a note on their door saying something like "the car is absolutely not for sale, so stop asking"... definitely a background story there and I hope the owner is alright.
