The same way I found out about a lot of the cars I own, someone who saw one of my cars asked me if I would be interested in some car they know of and I say yes of course! It pays to drive your old LBC everyday, don't keep them locked up in your garage! Or do, then I will be the person they offer the car to. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
I have to say this has been the best $750 I have ever spent. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif

I can't say that I had that much luck, but just after buying the Healey of my dreams (my BT7), I was contacted by a fellow with a BJ8 who was selling for personal (and non-financial) reasons, and simply wanted out of the car what he had put in it. It was, to say the least, outrageously cheap for such as stunning BJ8. Perhaps 30% of what a car in this condition would go for on eBay. I quite simply got lucky! Here she is in my garage:
It weren't no $750, but I didn't do too badly!

My hat is off to you!
My best "barnfind" was a 1952 black Arnolt Coupe, found just 8 miles away from me. It was pretty much "ready to go". Alas..I did not have the funds for that one at the time, and the car now resides in California.
I also "found" a 1948 MGTC a couple of years ago (one of my patients owned it). It needed a total redo...I offered $4000. He sold it for $8000...it then went to England for about $14,000....and still needed a complete redo!
