About UK Barn Finds
Our Passion Is Our Lifestyle
The two people behind UK Barn Finds are Elton & Claire Murphy, a couple of 70’s kids who just can’t let go of the past. We live on an old pig farm (glamorous, huh?) and are automotive hoarders ourselves! We love our work, are as passionate about the people we meet as we are for the vehicles themselves, and have made many friends along the way.
