A Family Tragedy Halted the Alfa Romeo Dealership, Leaving the Cars Unchanged | Carscoops

      The dealership is situated in Belgium, where a dusty Alfa Romeo 156 GTA remains on the showroom floor.

      An Alfa Romeo dealership in Belgium closed its doors following the unfortunate passing of its owner.

      More than twelve vehicles can be found parked inside and around the dust-laden showroom.

      YouTuber The Bearded Explorer recorded a walkthrough and shared the story online.

      For fans of classic Alfa Romeo cars, discovering a hidden collection of vintage models is a dream come true. Such a place exists in Belgium, where a long-neglected dealership quietly holds a lineup of cars that once caught the eye and still might, under the layer of dust.

      This overlooked location was revealed by YouTuber The Bearded Explorer, who filmed a walkthrough and narrated its eerie, silent story. While the exact location remains undisclosed for clear reasons, signs of decay and neglect are evident. Wild weeds grow, signs have faded, and the interior is cloaked in dust. Even the aquarium has long been drained.

      A Collection Left Behind

      Inside and outside the property, several Alfa Romeos in various conditions can be found. Among the notable models is a 166 sedan equipped with the beloved 3.0-liter Busso V6, now being exposed to the elements. A blue 156 GTA is parked inside the showroom, also fitted with this same engine variant.

      Other models featured in the video include a classic Giulia, an Alfetta, a 75 (Milano), a few 33s including a race-prepped variant, a 155 with unique wheels, a 145, as well as newer 156, 147, GT, and 159 Sportwagon. Vehicles from other manufacturers such as a Smart Forfour, an Abarth Punto, and a pair of MG TF roadsters are also visible.

      Still Visited, Yet Frozen In Time

      Surprisingly, some vehicles appear well-maintained, with tidy interiors and inflated tires, indicating that someone still tends to the place—at least occasionally. This is especially apparent in the service area, which seems more organized than one might expect.

      According to The Bearded Explorer, a neighbor spoke to him while filming and provided details about the story. The dealership was formerly operated by her husband, who tragically passed away in a car accident nearby. Since then, her son has occasionally returned to tidy up and check on the cars, but the office has remained untouched for several years.

      This tragic narrative clarifies why the family of the deceased has opted not to sell the building or the vehicles associated with it. Intriguingly, the 156 GTA out front actually belongs to a customer who never returned to claim it.

      It remains unknown how many of the cars are still operable or the extent of restoration they might require. However, if they were ever put up for auction, it’s likely that Alfa Romeo enthusiasts would eagerly queue for a chance to take one home.
