    Barn finds.

    How come everything seems to be a Barn find and how come so many? Made me think of this, attached.

      lol...

      There's an odd one unfolding on classic audi at the moment which is a couple ur's that have been stuck in an out building for ages, its linked through some Facebook stuff (I don't do Facebook so it's all beyond me). Anyway, turns out this 'barn find of the century' apparently was found by the owner.... I think I'm just getting old and confused?

        Regardless of the provenance, they cleaned up real good.

            Oops. Sorry. You're correct. D66 XMV vs D66 WMV. I guess there were no cleaned-up photos of the red one.

              My Mum and Dad have 2 barns might go and have a look tomorrow to see if there are any cars lying around that people have forgotten about!! I just don't understand this whole Barn Find scenario when it comes to people advertising them when theyve stood still for a while. Its like me putting my S2 in the barn and then forgetting about it??

                            So now people are wrapping cars to make them look like barn finds:
