North Wales 'GENUINE' Barn finds......

[srad34]

One of my oldest friends in North Wales invited me over a couple of months back for a mug of tea and he wanted to show me an old car he had that would be of interest to me.....

 

Along the way, he showed me these....

 

Porker 928 s2 V8 (He has 2 of these!)

 

Series 2 Landy...

 

Slightly crusty V8 Range Rover....

'75 Cherokee Pick up with a hoooge engine...

 

LDV Dizzler Panel van...

 

E36 325i trackday car and '72 Celica (one of two he has!)

 

And onto the reason for the invite, this little Clio was familiar to me, confirmed by my pal showing me a old Disabled badge found in the dashboard.

It was last owned by my Grandad, his last car before he popped his mortal coil, it actually bought a tear to my eye....

Even more so when he said if I wanted it, I could have it.

Good friends = priceless....

 

My pal has a problem, he just collects cars as he has a farm, he's got no interest in selling any (and there are more including old bikes) and just likes having them, can't knock that and its a little collection that I will take a look at whenever I go back over there (because I have probably missed some cars!)

Good plate on the Clio too, looks a bit "mice chewed" could have interesting wiring faults

It was bought for the sunroof to be fitted in a Mk1 Clio Williams, then this one was left to gather dust....one day....

I've now seem to be increasingly reluctant to sell on any motorbikes I have collected over the last year. I don't need them, it's just I can have them, nothing rare or unusual either. Odd, but can't really explain why this has happened to me, as I used to sell them after a few months of ownership. At this rate I'll be looking for storage space soon.

Yellow Celica? What's NOT to love?

[srad34]

Its the first one I have ever seen in this colour too, all complete and original. Been stood for about 20 years I think!

 I think that's the one bit I would keep tbh (plus its the only bit not moth/rat/mouse infested)
