PAUL Walker's tragic death in 2013 rocked the motoring world.

Not only did The Fast and the Furious star play a car-obsessed racer, he was also a massive motorhead in real life.

When he passed away at the age of 40, Walker had a collection of more than 30 vehicles, stored in a Valencia warehouse.

A YouTube video posted by TheSmokingTire went inside the impressive garage back in 2012 to take a closer look at the full collection.

But it wasn't revealed to be Walker's garage until after his death.

On top of the classic Porsche and Ferrari sports cars, it also includes no less than seven BMW e35 M3 high-performance racers.

The warehouse also contains a Jeep Wrangler, numerous Ford Mustangs and even the same Nissan 370Z used in the filming of the 2011 film Fast Five.

One of the most valuable motors in the mix is a mint-condition Rolls-Royce Ghost.

Already with a starting price of £237,000, this particular Ghost boasts a unique matte blue exterior wrap, which cost a whopping £8,400 to complete.

A number of the actor's cars were co-owned by close friend, Roger Rodas, along with their Always Evolving car shop.

Rodas was driving the Porsche Carrera GT when it crashed into a concrete pillar, killing the pair in November 2013.

The collection was involved in a lawsuit when £1.4million ($1.8million) worth of cars co-owned by Walker and Rodas were removed from the garage and put up for sale within a few days of the tragic accident.

The case was settled in 2016, with Walker's father securing the return of a number of the motors back to the actor's estate.

A new documentary entitled I Am Paul Walker is set to be released on August 11.
