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.

Some barn finds today

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!

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 wonder what the barn looked like!

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

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.

Unless of course it is a very rare early pre-production prototype of the Mini City?
