The seller states that this Mini Cooper S isn’t for the feint-hearted, but the pictures don’t look as bad as many of the other cars we’ve seen here at Barn Finds! The engine isn’t locked-up, too, which is always a bonus with any car that has been stood a while. This particular Mini does appear […]

I suppose that if you’re going to tuck a car away and forget about it for 16 years, the humble little Mini is one of the easiest ones to lose in the corner of a barn, or the back of a garage! This early Clubman looks fantastic, with many period features that are so often [&...
Bit of a rare beast, this one, and we expect the bidding to be frantic. In fact, even if you’re not interested in buying it, it’s worth adding to your Ebay ‘Watch List’ just to see how high it goes! Stored since 2002, after it had just had an engine rebuild, the seller reckons ...
Sinclair C5’s do occasionally come up for sale on eBay. Those of us of a cartain age will remember; apparently, we were all going to be riding around on them one day. Truth is, most people have never even seen one! This one is a bit special; the owner purchased it in 1985 and then [&...
This Mini Cooper probably won’t appeal to the purists, having been reshelled with a MK3 shell, but it will definitely tick a few boxes for those who like modified Minis!

There’s not a great deal of detail on this listing, and it appears to be missing its engine, but we couldn’t let a 2-door MK1 Escort slip by without a mention! It would appear that this car may have been used in competition, or a previous owner has gone for the ‘look’, judging ...
Now and then, you see a photo on an Ebay listing that makes your jaw hit the floor. This is one of those listings! This Lotus Europa S2 is the sort of find that many people dream of. We say ‘find’, but like many neglected cars, it was never lost; it was just parked up [&...
There’s not really a lot we can say about this one, as the Ebay description is a bit sparse! That said, the seller does state that this old Beemer starts and drives, with all the gears changing up and down smoothly. The car has been stored for the past ten years, apparently, so we’...
This one is more of a back yard/orchard type find, but it’s neglected enough to feature here, that’s for sure! Found when clearing a deceased estate, this car is not for those who shy away from work. It’s been standing over 20 years and looks to have a slight bit of side ...
