Morris I love the video clip :lol:

as for the barn that carn't be real surly, no one who has some of those cars would want to hind them away like that and not enjoy them (there are some really nice ones in there which I would love to have)

Haha, Tom Cotter's latest "in the barn" book The Corvette in the Barn has the debunking of this one and another I hadn't heard of in France from much earlier :)

The in the barn books are a great read if you like barn find stories :)

Might be an interesting story.

eheheh,

if you guys think you have seen a lot these two 'portuguese bestsellers' in Australian foruns.. you can imagine us here!! :lol:

@Minifreak_brg67 the "barn find" was real ;-) , but of course the owner knew they were there! :)

mini is just really a Khana/Slalom mini... 1600cc engine, power steering, shortened shell, and very light.

cheers
