It stands around 77cm tall, sits on a marble plinth and weighs an absolute ton. Well, perhaps ...
Three of the garage-find classics we’ve been following went under the hammer at Reeman Dansie today — and one of the results surprised us more than the others. The 1963 Austin Mini Cooper 997cc, 1973 Renault 15 TS and 1981 Ford Cortina 2.3 GL V6 had all appeared on UK Barn Finds in the run-up […]
