Hey,
I don't quite know where to post this (but here will do and the mods can move it..lol)

A mate emailed me this link to a website of a barn in portugal that has been welded shut for years and is full of cars...Best of all it has some MINIS in it....

http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm

Hope this is not a repeat, but i cant recall seeing it on here before.
Regards,

Andrew

It has been posted before however its such a godo lot of photo's its worth re-visiting and having a squiz at it.

Wouldn't ya love to own that barn.....

i reckon so! at least 5 or 6 different minis (3 red ones i think? plus the white one and the blue one) differeing features on the red ones but they look like the same colour.

and lots of other beautiful cars too.

i love how he just says "something american" "another american" "american, who knows?"

if you were going to store cars like that surely you would try to cover them up?

edit: counted 5 minis. the one in front of the datto, 2 other red roundies, the blue cooper and the white roundy. no clubbies!

Wow amazing. The barn itself doesn't look that old, someone must have spent a lot to gather them...... and then build the barn. I wonder who it is/was deceased perhaps.

yea, im interested to know how the barn came into the new hands, and what happened to all the cars afterwards! instant millionaire?
wow

So what did this guy do? Go to the pub every Saturday night, forget where he parked and bring another one home, then get up on Sunday and hide it in the barn

maybe it was a stash spot for stolen cars? impressive lot though, wonder who owned them, and why they left them there
