Barn find of the decade?

[jasst]

OMG, just watched this on you tube, absolutely incredible.

Absolutely Brilliant that what a collection in such a small place.
I wonder if it was once a Garage Workshop once between the houses ?
There were at least half a dozen in Weston super Mare when I lived there looking similar to that building.
Anyone spot the number plate on the primrose yellow E type 79 T registration must be wrong.
I like how half way through the hard hats appear to be worn
Would love to know how the cars got suspended up into the roof I'm sure Newton will know.

Amazing, can’t imagine the values.
I wonder what the story is around the engine in the AC Ace?

Just started watching it now

I’m not too sure about this one - a Landie wreck, a few badly mangled E-Types and a couple AC’s that might or might not be something. Can’t imagine this will be worth a lot, there is so much work to be done and there are good ones available.

I agree, and real value will exist in the AC’s

If there's an AC Aceca then definitely yes.

There's a very nice one in my neck of the woods.

There was one on car SOS, stunning job on it, as per usual.

The bill for some of their restorations must run into 40-50k , i'd think given the health of most of the recipients a lot of them get sold soon after the show through lack of use

Part 2 now uploaded

Amazing how this sort of stuff just happens and gets left for all those years.

I enjoy Jonny Smith's barn find episodes although there aren't many that are actually in barns. He's done a couple of Bristols recently that have been sat in garages for many years. The will they/won't they of trying to get them running is always fun.

I know a local barn where there are two Lancia Montecarlos, tried numerous times to contact owner and get access but no joy.
I guess they will slowly degrade to nothing

The results of the auction

 

[Scaf]

Thanks for posting, I think we all knew that the value was in the AC’s .

Painful to watch the bids in £500 increments for so long, auctioneer should have managed that better IMO.
