:shock: the full story on the email was that a couple had bought property which had lain derelict for 15 years.they had to cut the padlock and grind open the doors because they had been welded together and voila there it all was........a true barn find

Crikey Larry that lot is pretty impressive!, that little lot should pay for the property they bought about ten times over!!, theres some lovely stuff in there, the mini coopers alone are probably worth about £30.000! Let alone the vintage stuff :shock:

8) some of the 1930s cars are like new under the thick layers of dust. who knows there could be a marina. the early cooper is as you say worth fortunes. probably be an innocenti mini in there as well.....toal value who knows.........over £1m. the mind boggles.would love a rake in there eh.

sorry to disappoint you guys. this is not a barn-find. this story has gone all over the net for the last 6 months or so. it's actually a collector who hired in a photographer to document his collection. Prettu impressive stuff, albeit it takes some of the "magic" about the story away....
