Barn finds

I found this whilst idling away some time away searching for an alternative to the endless, mind-numbing tv gameshows, link HERE

A rare 1952 Ferrari + many other interesting cars. It makes me wonder just what else is out there tucked away in a barn/shed/garage? The sad fact is most will just turn to rust.

Jonny Smith! The Late brake Show/Car pervert and more. Some brilliant stuff on his sites.

I knew it was him as soon as I saw the Tokyo Taxi!

 

That was well worth the watching. Some fabulous stuff and stories in there.

Have a search for Scratch n Smiff. That's Jonny too. Most of it hilarious!

Thanks for the link, I must catch up on Jonny's adventures in old/weird car land.

That 'Ferrari' bit is a bit misleading; it's the Vignale coupe body which was removed from the car when it was rebodied back to its original barchetta form a few years ago. Thus it retains no mechanicals or chassis, and doesn't retain the identity either. It's nevertheless a lovely thing but when rebuilt won't be approved by Ferrari Classiche. The original car is now in Italy.

I think Keith is waiting until it's a pile of rust and he can put it in an urn on his mantlepiece RIP 😪

Come on Keith get back in your garage, you know you want to.
