This abandoned Alfa Romeo garage, filled with mythical models, hides a deeply moving story.

For allAlfa RomeoTo discover a garage filled with mythical models is a dream. But when it's a place frozen in time, covered in dust, overgrown with cobwebs and the bearer of human tragedy, the emotion takes on a whole new dimension. This is exactly what the Youtubeur The Bearded Explorer uncovered during an unexpected exploration of Europe.

A chance discovery... and a Ferrari left on the road

The story begins in France. On his way to a mysterious Alfa Romeo garage he had heard about, the videographer came across an unlikely scene: a Ferrari 360 Modena parked by the roadside, obviously abandoned for years.

Thick dust, rusty brakes, foam and even mould inside... Everything suggests that the supercar has been forgotten, perhaps due to a costly breakdown or an owner who has disappeared off the radar.

The garage frozen in time

Arriving in front of the building, the scene is striking. Behind dirty windows and a half-open gate, more than a dozen Alfa Romeos wait, some for more than a decade. Among them:

• An Alfa Romeo 166 with the legendary 3.0-liter V6 Busso engine
• An iconic blue 156 GTA with 3.2-liter V6, considered one of the brand's sportiest models.
• Several 155, including a version with special rims
• A classic Giulia, an Alfetta, 33s including one in racing configuration
• Newer models: 156, 147, GT and 159 Sportwagon

The site also hides a few intruders: a Smart Forfour, an Abarth Punto and even two MG TF roadsters.

Outside the garage, some cars show the marks of time: tarnished paintwork, moss on the windows, deflated tires. But inside, others look almost ready to hit the road again, with clean interiors and inflated tires.

An abandoned garage tells a human story

While filming, the Youtubeur was approached by a neighbor. Misty-eyed, she tells us that the garage belonged to her husband, a great Alfa Romeo enthusiast and specialist. Tragically, he died in a road accident... less than a kilometer away. Since that day, the business has come to a virtual standstill.

Their son sometimes drops by to clean and check the cars, but the owner's office has remained untouched since the tragedy. Some cars have an even stranger history: the famous blue 156 GTA in front of the garage is said to belong to a customer... who never came back for it.

It's hard to say whether these Alfa Romeos will ever hit the road again or end up at auction.
However, enthusiasts can be hopeful: should the family decide to part with them, there's no doubt that Biscione lovers will be scrambling to save these cars. In the meantime, this garage remains a moving sanctuary for Alfa Romeo lovers.
