I visited this hidden aladdins cave in rural Northamptonshire and came away with this little find.
It is totally original and has had the minimum of welding carried out in the past (rotten then) 50,897 miles from new,and was sold new in the area I found it.
There were at least thirty buildings like this stacked full of vintage and classic vehicles.
A lot had been purchased years ago for their number plates and abandoned,all in good order like this one. It has an age related plate.
It is sad when this happens but at least this one will be used again.
It is MOT`d,runs and drives everything works.
A new carpet set,some paintwork and of to the shows.

Ugh those wheel trims are horrible. But a tidy little car. Good save

[FrazzleTC]

That looks like a great wee project. As has been said, please get rid of the wheeltrims, but I'm sure you will. I'd love to know what all the cars are in those barns!

Nice find, I'm always looking but never finding

The wheel trims are off the car now,there was a set of new chrome ones in the boot,along with some rim embelishers.
Apparently the owner let a friend take it to a show last year and someone stole the hubcaps,he put these plastic ones on as a temporary measure,then went out and brought some chrome ones.

I spotted E Type Jaguars,MK2`s,XJS`s ,Volkswagens,Ford Hillman Foden ERF Lorries, Double Decker Buses,Campervans to name a few.
I will post some photo`s
