In the GT6 on craigslist thread, there is some discussion of barn finds. Its time to tell of the barn(field, garage,shed,etc) finds BCF members have found.
I am probably responsible for frankenstang57's junkpile spitfire as well as our collective Herald projects. My english Ford was in the back of a big warehouse.. In addition to english cars, I have drug home countless Model A and early V8 Fords.
This is my english Ford Model Y.

I don't have any photos handy of the pre-restoration condition, but lets just say it has come a long way.
Lets hear about (and see pictures of) other finds.

This is located "somewhere" in Fresno:

American Museum of Old British Austin Automobiles

It's basicly a storage place for a guys collection of spares. I have a good idea of where it is but have not been inside. I have spoken to him, he is a storehouse of old austin informantion, but was in an unfortunate accident where he lost his eyesite.
 
Here was my first Triumph. A barn find TR250. I sold this to someone in Australia to pay for the 4A.

MY TR2. I went up to Vermont off a tip from right here on the good ol' BCF. And trailered home this suprisingly solid project

Hi all:

Here are a couple pictures that show how the TR4 sat last summer when my buddy found it for me.

I still don't think it knows how to act being in a dry garage!
