THIS is the moment an urban explorer finds an incredible \u00a335,000 Aston Martin abandoned in a car graveyard.<\/p>\n
The YouTuber, known as The Bearded Explorer, posted a clip of the eerie discovery to his channel.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Marvelling at the classic, he said: "I cannot believe the condition of this car.<\/p>\n
"It is heartbreaking to see that it's been left here since 2013.<\/p>\n
"This is absolutely criminal."<\/p>\n
The car's tax disk shows that its cover ran out in November 2013, while a DVLA check shows that it has been registered with a Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This means that the Aston's owner has told the DVLA that it will not be taken out on the road, allowing it to not be taxed or insured.<\/p>\n
The video shows its paint heavily chipped and worn away, while mould has set in on the soft-top and brambles grow through the windscreen wipers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Rust also appears to have taken hold, while the condensation on the windows suggests an issue with damp inside.<\/p>\n
The explorer was able to open a door and hop on, revealing the former glory of the sports car's red and black interior.<\/p>\n

It is such a shame."<\/p>\n Social media commenters were quick to agree.<\/p>\n One wrote: "I drive past this quite regularly, always baffles me why such a nice car was left."<\/p>\n Another added: "I am tearing up, why does this happen?"<\/p>\n And a third said: "Makes you want to go down with a portable jet washer and blast the moss off it."<\/p>\n Perhaps worst of all, the car has retained a good chunk of its value over the years.<\/p>\n The registration reveals it to be a 2003 V12 Vantage model.<\/p>\n Equivalent Astons from the same year are available online for as much as \u00a335,000 if they are in good condition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It comes after a \u00a3300,000 DB4 that was once owned by a 'real-life James Bond' was found in a shed in Devon.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a group of Australian TikTokers discovered a classic car graveyard hidden behind a Melbourne home.<\/p>\nI borrowed an electric vehicle – the biggest challenge happened when I sat inside<\/h3>\n
