Sleeping beauties : Kaufdorf car junkyard, near Bern, Switzerland


Located in the small community of Kaufdorf, the site containing around 500 cars mostly from the 1930s to 60s has not been touched for more than 30 years.

The now overgrown relics were originally bought for their parts by a car dealer who – not wanting to see the vehicles pressed and shredded - parked them cheek by jowl on his lot.The dealer retired in the 1970s and passed the business on to his son, who left the old cars where they were.
