Grenades Not Included: Daimler Ferret Scout Cars

(Update, the green one has been lost or broken. How do you lose or break a tank?) The Ferret is a serious 4 wheel drive machine that should make any owner proud and any Hummer owner jealous. It not… more»

EXCLUSIVE: Jamie’s Triumph Herald Stash!

This past summer, Jamie (one of our longtime writers) purchased this little stash of Heralds from a friend. He wrote about the acquisition here in a post, and at the time, he wasn’t sure what he was going to do with… more»

Estate Sale: 1956 Austin Healey BN2

Here’s one of my dream finds–an Austin-Healey 100-4 BN2 that has been stationary since 1968! And not only that, but it looks pretty solid, doesn’t it? Well, it’s almost there. The car was stored carefully by the father of… more»

Phonebooth Not Included: 1966 Jaguar E-Type

The E-Type was based on the 24 Hours of Le Mans winning D-Type Jaguar and way ahead of other sports cars of its time. They are fast, with a top speed of 150 MPH with 0 to 60 MPH in… more»

Game Changer! 1958 Berkeley SE328

As frequent Barn Finds readers know, Berkeleys are small, motorcycle engined British sports cars that have largely fiberglass bodies and a steel central tub. They also tend to be found in dilapidated condition, usually without an engine. If an… more»

Winter Project: 1959 Triumph TR3A

EXCLUSIVE: 1962 Jaguar E-Type

It’s a little shinier than what we normally see around here, but when Michael A sent in this beautiful E-Type, we knew we needed to feature it! It’s been stored in his heated garage for the past 25 years,… more»

1974 TVR 2500M Driveway Find

In case you don’t remember, Barn Finds has a good relationship with white TVR’s with black stripes! While this earlier 2500M is a little rounder, it still has the same spirit of British sports car that the Tasmin had…. more»

Pint Sized Sedan: 1959 Triumph Standard 10

Small, efficient, and capable of hauling an “entire” family, this neat little Triumph is solid, and would make for a great space efficient classic. What is a space efficient classic? Well, it’s a cool old car that doesn’t take… more»

Gear Gamble: 1976 Triumph Spitfire

This little British roadster could end up being a bargain depending on what’s wrong with it. The seller claims that it’s an original California car and that it has always run well. Well, until just recently that is. The… more»

Rust on Rust: 1960 Triumph TR3A

There are several TR3s currently listed for sale for three or four thousand dollars. This one at least shows the true extent of the rust, especially underneath. This one listed on eBay is described as “a fairly straight, original,… more»

Ripe For The Picking: 1955 MG TF

Often when I run across semi-completed projects during my research for Barn Finds, I find myself wishing for more information. Often, the simple lack of information that could be easily provided by the seller in the advertisement turns me… more»

It’s A Van, It’s A Plane–It’s A Baron!

One of the more creative uses I’ve seen of an Beechcraft Baron airplane fuselage is this motorized “car shuttle type thing” (to quote the seller) that is listed for auction here on eBay UK. Bidding is currently at only 1,850… more»

$600 British Project: 1958 Singer Gazelle

Many of the British cars of the 1950’s border on micro car territory, like this Singer Gazelle. Small, original, and cheap, this Singer appears to be complete. With a solid potential to be a project, there are a few… more»
