A barn fully of dusty-covered classic cars including Jaguars and MGs are set to go to auction next month.
The collection of over 20 cars, two motorbikes and an array of car parts, engines and tools belong to a retired mechanic.
They vary in condition and include a 1967-registered Jaguar E-Type, three Jaguar MkII MOD saloons and a 1956 XK140. Other finds include an Austin Healey 3000 and rare Lenham 100-4 model, a Lotus Elan S4, three Rover 3500S’s, a Triumph Stag and six MGAs. There is also a more modern VW Golf R32.
The seller began collecting the vehicles as far back as 1969 with the intention of restoring them later. The condition of the find range from complete original cars to partially restored and some needing full restoration.
The auction takes place on Wednesday, 10 September at the Charterhouse Long Street Salerooms in Sherborne, Dorset. Viewings take place on the 8th and 9th September.

It never ceases to amaze me what is still to be rediscovered in barns and garages !
I guess there are new cars disappearing into garages all the time.
