Real barn finds that I visited today!

Share this page

Your story seems like a step back in time. Had to be fun. I can barely fund my fun and I only have one car.
 
Those are pretty rough - about liek the 2 tat werre given to me to get them out of the open...what's of interest to me are some of the parts I'll need to complete 1 car.

But, in one of the photos I got, there's an interesting looking Jag in the background! May be worth a drive over when I get home from this trip.
 
Where ya go now?
 
Just remember guys that there are tons of parts in those sheds, a complete TR3 restored body in one shed, a TR3 in another field and a mid 60s Midget. There are even two MGA convertible hardtops in the rafters. I am going to try to post more pictures tomorrow if I can master the software. The second location I went to had Healeys, MGA in very good shape, a Jag and the bug eye I bought. I hope to post those pictures.

Send em to me, I will post em.
 
The MGA hardtop is what I'm interested in...along with some of the MGA coupe parts...& the old Jaguar sedan....guess I'll be heading for the coast of NC soon!
 
Ok this is all the pics I have received so far anyway.

The more I look at those photos, the sadder I get....that hardtop in the rafters will cost $1000 just to restore - & maybe more!
 
You are gona need a new barn just to store all this stuff Tony.
 
It would be a pick & choose, Jack...there's alot of junk in those photos.
 
Pick up the white MGA pls.
 
How come I never hear of or come across barn finds like that. Man, I'm moving to the country.
 
They are all posted up above, just steal em from there.

Right click on the pic and sellect "save pic as" tell it where to save em, rename as you wish and you are in business.
