Inspiring stories, keep them coming!
Found my own 'barn find' out on a farm. Actually it is a whole lot of them, HK-T-G and FC/FE utes, HQ utes and a tonner that were 'Farm rockets' on one part of the property resplendent with discarded red engines among the scrub, and XR utes, XP-M utes and wagons on another (used to be a different farm whose owner had 'bluer' blood). There was a customline as well, but that was taken (and hopefully restored) some years ago. Throw in the odd completely rusted Valiant... I wish I had some pics to post. Rust had the better of most of them, but to my eye, the HT's were closest to saving. In my travels I found my own restorer, and its serial number prefix has become my AFF "name"... It's been a while since the cars of the 'glory days' have been really common as barn finds. I cannot but help think that the days of the "classic" EBII S-XR6 found in a tin shed are right now... |
