Today I Found the ultimate barn find's!!!!!

Postby PaulyA610 » Fri Jun 15, 2012 3:11 pm

Stunmmbled accross this tiny little garage who had a renault 8 outside, so I had to go in a have a look!!! What i was in for was a right treat, it is proper old skool and once was a proper renault dealer in the 60's there was the R8 in godini bue outside needing some love, and a proper R8 gordini inside needing alot of love however no rot and straight pannels just needs some paint and putting back together.
After a bit of a chat he said come round the back and have a look at my other renault, so we walked over to this old shed and inside was this old 4cv which is in pritty good nick and runs!!! :shock: I could not believe all this to which he then says he has two gordini engines in the shed with lots and lots of renault spares!!! Took some pic's.

Well blow me down sideways and paint me 'til next Tuesday :!: :shock:

Great discovery Paul, but why do people leave cars like these lying around taking up room, growing old and providing a home for fauna and wildlife :?:
