Barn Finds... whats the fuss ?

Recommended Posts

Is it just me or all of a sudden, has the world has gone mad on "Barn finds", people seem to be paying more for barn finds than cars running and driving...

 

Seriously, those cars must have been holed up in the "barn" for a reason in the first place, probably some terminal or expensive problem...

 

Sure, there probably a handful of cars that we're stored on purpose, but........

 

Rant over...  :)

This is what we need to do with our part exchanges throw some dirt and straw over them and say we found it in a barn and double up!

Barn finds tended to have a great story attached to them

 

An Aston Martin DB5 found in a run down barn is a remote part of France, untouched for years

 

A rare pre war Bentley in an overgrown spinny in a farmers field

 

These are proper "barn finds"

 

 

Now it seems everybody is classing any old tatt as a barn find and trying to ask a fortune for it.

 

Your nans XR2 thats been parked under a tree for 12 months is not a barn find, niether is that MK3 Golf taken off the road to be repaired, messed up, realised it wasn't an easy fix and left in the garage for 2 years.. again isn't a barn find.
