    I never get why you'd have all the cars and just leave them there. Plus they must be owned by some one so surely they are stealing them....

    As much as I like old things I've got to say there's nothing I'd really want either . I do quite like old Nissans though .

    Re: Toyota Barn find

    What are the circumstances that lead to someone getting a load of not particularly desirable Toyotas, and then tightly packing them into a barn and them leaving them for 20 years? What on earth would compel someone to do that?

    The odd Rolls Royce that some eccentric aristocratic old boy simply forgot about is understandable, but this is just bizarre.

    Re: Toyota Barn find

    There's roumers of an rs200 up here.

    Apparently some guy in a small town bought it, he was in the army,

    I dont know the full story but it hasn;t been driven, and I think the guy died.

    Would love to find out if it was true.

    Re: Toyota Barn find

    Toyotas and Jap cars aint my thing but still I appreciate the quality of that find.

    I could try and put it in Vauxhall context but its hard because they arent special cars in themselves, but they are made so becuase of the low numbers that survive in the UK. Comparativly, the GM equivilents survive in better numbers.
