I hate the word 'barn find' tbh - partly because I'm jealous anyway. Does anyone remember the Escort Cosworth that was abandoned in a car park under a bush from about 2004?

This was the first time my Hustler had seen daylight since 1988!  .....and yes, that is a barn it came out of (along with the other Hustler I bought) |

I unearthed a 1959 Beetle ragtop last year. It had been sat part-restored in a garage 6 doors up complete with Porsche brakes, suspension and gearbox.
£300 for a complete , rot free car with tricky bits. Needless to say I grabbed it :-)

I'd like to read that forum but it's impossible without me blocking the images BECAUSE THEY ARE OVER 2000 PIXELS WIDE!!! I'll take the Model A instead despite it being slower, more uncomfortable, worse handling, smellier, more work, less reliable and more expensive to fix up. Edit: though maybe that Bugatti 57 might do if it's not available  |

its old news to me, found out about these about 2 weeks ago when he first started asking about values, needless to say a lot of people didnt believe they existed at first, apparently belonged to a billionaire that just forgot about them, i can only assume being a ford man it was the rs200 he first went after and the m3s and evo were just a bonus. apparently iirc one m3 has ~50 miles and the other about ~90 miles.

He did not forget about them, he bought them as future investments for his Kids (Now in their 20s). He is/was a proper car nut so my guess he has others stashed about.

As nice as it must be for a wealthy collector to have collections like this, I still think it's sad that these car's sit away unused or unseen by any one for years, There's the fun in that?.
At least lend them to a museum so other people can see them and enjoy them.
