      I heard of a twin cam that had been in garage and not used for twenty years, manged to find the owner and even had the pleasure of sneak peak.Deff not for sale but left my number anyway years later the house was sold and the car was moved and left outside for another 18 months, still not for sale.Then a chance chat with a local garage owner and the car had been sold to a local car dealer and sold on within the week.The car had lived in morecambe was arched and a light blue colour it was complete and was fairly rough but could have saved.Don't know where it went.
      I also know of a very tired mk1 mexico not seen the light of day for over 25 years still working on that one!!

The range of body styles includes sedans, coupes, roadsters and convertibles, trucks and vans from the 1930s to the 1980s. They've got badges from almost every…


              and another

              Imagine you're Ali Baba, stumbling on the 40 Thieves' treasure — only the thieves are long gone and the treasure is actually 180 European cars of various description. That's kind of what happened in this case, where inside a warehouse welded shut for years, a wealth of dusty cars — Jags, Porsches, Lancias, Alfas,…
