To me a barn find is an example that has seen little road time, spending most of its life Undercover (in a garage or such)
I agree.
Where as the definition now seems to stretch to any old pile of shite that is far to far gone to restore, but may have had a bit of cow poo on it at some time or for that matter may not.
WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
I'd like to play ebays rules.. Not as described. More like a total and utter basket case! Still, one almost as bad as that got restored by someone on the mini forum. They made a half decent job of it too!mk1 wrote:To me a barn find is an example that has seen little road time, spending most of its life Undercover (in a garage or such)

Re: WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.
The pick up I'm doing was as bad, if not worse, than that '62 
Yes, I was mad to start it but I looked at it as a challenge
Having said that, I didn't pay anything for it. It was a case of either I have a go at it or Dad was going to scrap it.
Looking at what complete crap goes for now, I suspect he'd have eBayed it in the event of me being sane at the time of the hand over, rather than scrap it.
Would have had to describe it as a pig shed find though to be truthful

I thought this went cheap, 2nd or third oldest surviving Hornet, looks re-commissionable?!

I don't think he could offer it as suitable for classic car storage anyway

This nearly fooled me!

Makes me think, a swap over of the upper frame from a mk3 and some custom glass (can mk3 glass be cut..!) and you're not far off an external hinged hybrid.

If this get past the VIC check it'll prove they are a total waste of time.
