This poor old girl was found languishing in a barn in Portugal a couple of years ago and, having then been shipped to the UK, probably expected to be burning rubber by now. But no, she’s now sitting motionless still, albeit it in a colder country! This is one of those projects that definitely isn’t […]

We thought we’d go a bit ‘posh’ with our Barn Find Of The Day today and you don’t get much posher than a Rolls Royce, surely? This particular old girl looks to have been sitting unused since 1973, but still looks in remarkably good shape! The car was built in 1939 and only a few [&...
There cannot be a more iconic British car than the humble Mini, surely? And one of the most desirable variants has to be the Mini pick-up! This particular Mini has stood for 8 years, so will need a thorough going over. Having said that, one of the joys of Minis is that pretty much everything […]
We don’t think this will take long to sell! An original Lancia Delta HF 2.0 Turbo 4×4, the precursor to the Integrale, and one of only 500 built! This car comes with a host of spares, too, and will make a fantastic project for someone with the skills and determination to take it on. We […]

Should it be Austin Gypsies or Austin Gypsy’s? Hmmmm….answers on a postcard, please! This looks like a great little package for sale for somebody with a bit of time, vision and skill. The Austin Gypsy is a great little piece of British history and at just £1200 the pair, including VAT, we reckon ...
Most ‘barn finds’ we feature do have at least two wheels. Okay, so they may not be mobile when discovered, but they do generally resemble some kind of vehicle. This time, however, we’ve gone a bit ‘off piste’….but how could we NOT feature a Rolls Royce V12 Meteor 27 litre Tank Engine?!! The story ...
Some people will probably complain that this isn’t exactly a barn find and do you know what? WE DON’T CARE! It’s such an amazing sale, we just HAD to feature it! And, anyway, at least one of them hasn’t been MOT’d for nigh on twenty years, so they’re more ‘...
A lot of us scour the internet and drool at some of the barn finds we stumble upon, but how many do you think you could realistically put back on the road? Parts and knowledge for some of them are pretty hard to come by. That doesn’t mean they’re impossible to fix, but ...
