Barn Find Extraction | Two Rare Classic Cars See Daylight For The First Time In Decades

[@UKBarnFinds]

Both cars will be offered for sale by auction at Reeman Dansie Auctioneers & Valuers on the 16th November 2024 - www.reemandansie.com/ VLM Logistics did a fantastic job of extracting the vehicles from the barn. Their website, should you need it, is www.vlmlogistics.com/

[@trigsretromotors]

How fantastic that cars like these are still being found and hopefully being put back on the road again! ❤

[@UKBarnFinds]

Agreed. It's amazing how solid these looked, too. They were built like tanks back then!

[@garylangridge777]

Thank you to you both for sharing this amazing barn find. Your both amazing people doing this great channel.

[@greengreenie55]

Two stunning cars, can't believe how solid they both look but the Talbot-Darracq is superb.

[@grayfool]

The Merc is wonderful. The Talbot though is in a whole other world. Amazing condition too.

[@robertwells1650]

Wow, two gorgeous cars that are hopefully going to get the chance to be on the road again. Love the styling of the Mercedes. Some beautiful chrome bits but nothing overdone. Now, the Talbot is a masterpiece of engineering and style for the age. Like you, I can just imagine taking the family out for a cruise on a sunny day. Thanks again for sharing with us.Cheers

[@andyf750]

Always great to see you both!

[@alundavies5171]

Both stunning old cars !! cheers for sharing the extraction with us ! always look forward to your new videos!

[@JimF500]

Wow in such good condition for so long, remarkable. The classic Ford tractor is well appropriate too 🚜

[@stephenricketts7764]

When Mercedes made beautiful cars, look at the lines of that car! It looks to be in good order too. The other one is also a time capsule. With cars of that era you often had a 'help' or 'driver' who would take you out for a picnic on a Sunday afternoon. He would also be responsible for the maintenance of the car and would have done all the checks before driving round to the front of the house ready for the family to climb it, different times then. So good that you have some photos to go with the cars, that makes all the difference for a prospective buyer. Thanks Claire and Elton for bringing us along for this barn extraction. 👍👍

[@UKBarnFinds]

The lines of the Mercedes were incredible. Even covered in dust, it looked amazing. Being a left hand drive, it makes you wonder if it will end up going abroad, maybe back to Germany. The Talbot-Darracq was incredible. Cars like that really do whisk you off to a different world in your imagination. I love the idea of a 'help'!

[@jamesberdine8574]

@@UKBarnFindsthat is back when M-B could be recognized 5 miles away. Today they look like everyone else. Both cars are amazing. Who ever ends up owning them gives them the love they so richly deserve.

So glad you enjoyed it. It really was fun for us, too, and a real privilege.

Looks like the "Ant Hill Mob" car. Love the Merc too.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Yeah, definitely a bit of Ant Hill Mob about it!

[@williamriley-jones]

God, I love these barn find videos so much and I still can’t get over that Jaguar barn and find a year ago where the cars were stacked high and hanging from the ceiling

[@UKBarnFinds]

That was pretty special!

Oh yeah, you're right - that Darracq is stunning!

I keep dreaming about it…

One of your best videos!

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you. We really loved making this one. We’ll never see a pairing exactly like this again.

[@bield7]

Great vid of a genuine barn find featuring two wonderful survivors. The Merc is particularly impressive. Good that the team removed the bumper too; plenty wouldn’t. .

[@UKBarnFinds]

Agreed. That was something we learnt that day, the need to remove the bumper.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Awesome. We’ll be there!

[@asa1973100]

Absolutely love the green car

[@UKBarnFinds]

It is an amazing vehicle. We still can't get our heads around its age. Imagine seeing that on the roads back in 1921.

[@eathan323]

Cars are magnificent and they even roll freely after all that lay up another excellent barn find journey you have both taken us on I'm sure those cars will live again and so they should well done guys

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

Both cars are truly wonderful and particularly interesting as they appear in original trim , the Merc. will do extremely well , far more than estimate , such a rare and elegant high quality car.Cecil Bendall was indeed very well known as an old car dealer from the 1950s and had some very rare cars himself., incuding a R-R Silver Ghost driven by Eric Sykes in 'Those Magificent Men ' ......

[@UKBarnFinds]

Comments like this are what we love about KZbin. There's such a pool of information out there. Thank you.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

@@UKBarnFinds Claire & Elton , your channel is going from strength to strength in interest - very well done !.Although both these cars that have shared company in the same barn for so long are radically different , their condition is truly remarkable and will be recomissioned rather than totally restored. The Mercedes outcome in particular will come as an amazing surprise - you just wait !.

[@UKBarnFinds]

We'd love to see it do well at auction. The people at Reeman Dansie are lovely, as is the vendor. On top of that, it's an incredible car. The Talbot-Darracq deserves to do well, too. I can't find another 21 anywhere (although I may be looking in the wrong places). Thank you for your comment about our channel. We've always said we want to do what we enjoy, whether it has mass appeal or not, and this is a prime example. We really enjoyed that day.

[@ianford2383]

Great video again guys

[@PatrickODonoghue-f1d]

Hello, love the report. Genuine enthusiasm for the cars and the social history. The closing shots of the empty "berths" in the barn is a master stroke.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you. The closing shot was Claire’s idea and, I agree, it was a fitting way to end that chapter of their journeys. We really appreciate such feedback ~ Elton

[@mrbigarms]

Wow, what a find, really interesting cars!

[@raymondpearce6306]

Brilliant video guys

[@SalisburyKarateClub]

Would love to see the transformation of the Talbot if it get's renovated

[@brucejoslen2021]

Remarkable, how good those cars are, coming out of a semi-exposed shed with a dirt floor. Very impressive. Enthusiastic hello from New Zealand.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Indeed. We often find, over here, that open-fronted barns are better for cars. The air flow seems to help things along. Thanks for commenting - we have quite a few viewers in New Zealand and it’s always lovely to hear from you.

What a real "barn find" also the history with comments a pictures bring these cars back to life. Best wishes from Lincolnshire

Hello Elton and Clare. I'm just watching your video lovely cars will they run

It's doubtful that they'd run straight away (although you never know until you try!), but both did look to be complete and shouldn't be too challenging for somebody who knows the marques.

They really are stunning! I've been to field cars in the past week and recovered a couple, but not on camera. It was just one of those 'I need to get some stuff done' days. We're still on a mission to get as many of them saved as we can, so hopefully you'll see more of them soon.

Hi both, What a great pair of barn-finds, they seem to have survived pretty well considering their respective ages and conditions. Their final auction price will be interesting...

[@UKBarnFinds]

We agree and are looking forward to seeing how much they fetch in November.

[@DavidSharples-km1ff]

You should include the selling price

[@UKBarnFinds]

They’re being sold at auction in a few weeks time, so we don’t know how much they’ll be yet. You’ll be able to find out on the auctioneer’s website - www.reemandansie.com

Hi Claire and Elton, Greetings from Brazil! What an nice acquisition you two made. These cars 🚗📯look in a very good condition. Really excellent to be restored. They are really amazing. Have you tried to start their engines yet? Have a wonderful day! 🙂🚘🚗

[@UKBarnFinds]

We're always amazed at how far around the world our videos reach! These cars have gone straight to auction, as we were just there to film, so no attempt has been made to start them yet. I would love to hear the Talbot-Darracq fire up, but it's probably going to be too expensive for us to buy.

[@frasermartin6728]

Darracq, like Barack, as in Obama.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you.

[@shawnathon60]

Make sure you tell us what the (Griffin) badge is from? great vid! Couldn't wait, it is a ADAC German Automobile Badge

[@stevenmoran4060]

Hope they went back for the Mercedes bumper left lying on the ground after loading the car.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Of course. It was mentioned in the video why it was removed. Next time the car is seen in public, it will be back in place.

[@DrivermanO]

Unrest in Cyprus? That's putting it mildly. The early 60s were the days of the EOKA terrorists agitating for union with Greece. Archbishop Makarios and all that! National Servicemen served there, and British soldiers were killed. I had someone who worked for me in the 1990s who served there. Difficult times. Lucky that officer only had a brick!

[@sodittoo]

The number plates look like British Forces plates used on private cars used by service personal .

They could very well be.

Good question: One of them is guided over £30,000 and I guess, with the weather we've had recently, it's a safer bet all round.
