Inside This Barn We Found Classic Car’s A Mountain Of Bronze And Some Incredible Items!!

[@gradonforsyth4669]

A Great find again Colin , the most valuable car actually would be the Standard, Surely they would be better contacting Mathewsons or East Anglia Car Auctions for the cars!

[@saxoman66]

I really enjoy watching your videos and the finds that you discover along with the many classic cars. However, I can't help feeling a little upset thinking about the people who once owned these items with their lives and memories now gone.

[@B1jujv75]

I love your adventure and what you found :) My older Brother bought a 1958 Morris Minor it was green just like the one in the barn :) It was a 4 cylinder 4 on the floor shift standard :) What a great time we had with that car back in the day :) I think we had to work on it more then we drove it :) He taught me how to drive with that car and it was fun :) What memmories came back when i seen that green car again :) My brother has passed away since then may he RIP....Thanks for your great video and what you found :) My brother would have been so proud of your adventure :) Thank u.....! We both loved that little green Morris Minor .....his first car

[@nigelbryant5932]

Colin ... please save the DAF. Absolutely amazing video. Thank you for sharing this.

[@owenjones8]

What happened to the DAF? It has to be saved .... !!!!

[@poacher9118]

I would really love to know who the guy in the red puffer is to the owner. All I heard was negativity and how he was a hoarder, but look how much money there is sat there if you look beyond scrapping (which in my opinion already shows the stupidity). All those brass objects are probably worth 10x more than what you got for scrap. Sad story as you could see the passion the owner had. Just a shame seeing potentially someone’s life’s work just not being acknowledged for what it should be. Rant over.

[@Bigwormox4]

I feel the same

[@johnacky]

I feel the same. Did tbe owner die or disappear.

[@br4d101]

Just go to show how much stuff goes to waste, some of them brass things go for decent money, probably a lot of collectable stuff there to! Many thousands of pounds worth of stuff! Scrap men will be in there strip it clean and you’ll see it all on eBay if they don’t just weigh it in! N them old motors are making thousands at the min! Scrappy give ya £200 for the Morris 🙈

[@davecollins4143]

Yeah Defo should have paid a commission fee and auctioned it all. Those metal scrappers were actually rubbing their hands greedily

[@philtucker1224]

He was there 21 years ago, so pretty close to the owner I guess…

[@philtucker1224]

It’s always so exciting to see these discoveries and know that with many of the cars featured they will eventually be brought back to original condition and in many cases, be worth a lot more than when they were sold brand new! It gives a lot of fun for collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy restoring these old beauties! (In another 50 years they will sell like famous old oil paintings) happy days!

[@johnboycurb9119]

There is Alot of Value inside that Barn but unfortunately as you hear the Guy say.......The Scrap boys are coming in a few days and they will just go by the material and Weight and I can bet that NOT one of they vehicles will ever get restored... Sad

[@lordbrasic9469]

It's good that the scrap guys are keeping some of the brass for display the Daf needs saving

[@michaelobrien9825]

Loved the green Morris minor that looked in really good condition probably worth a small fortune as is..

[@ijbailey]

Had to come back to comment because I actually felt upset after watching this one. As someone who loves vintage stuff and antiques and classic cars and also my dad just passed away and he spent his childhood around horses living in a romany caravan so my whole family collect those brass horses and caravans this one hurt. Whoever called the scrap guys on this place needs to have a serious word with themselves. I couldn't see a single piece of scrap anywhere the whole place is a treasure trove that needed to be seen by vintage & antique dealers and classic car collectors not scrap men. It's disturbed me this one Colin.

[@cryptoniteno1743]

My thoughts exactly, treasure dumped into the back of a open top pickup, in the rain… yep disturbing.

[@simbosimbo]

wouldn't think they will scrap them, will be sold privately and give the owner scrap value sad but what can you do??

[@agb7553]

Totally agree

[@TheBeardedExplorer]

Have you actually watched the whole video?.. all the brass is being saved. The scrap guys collect it and it’s being displayed in there yard. They have thousands of brass items already and this has just added to there collecting

[@ijbailey]

@@TheBeardedExplorer yes mate I watch the whole video. Glad they didn't just throw the brass horses but there's better places that a scrap metal merchants shelf for it and I'm more concerned what happened after they came back to clear the barns with the cars, car parts, signs, cast iron fireplace tucked away at the back, the motorbikes, Raleigh Chopper, ect. I know it's not my stuff but it breaks my heart when rare cool items like that has scrap guys sniffing around it.

[@jeremypayne8001]

Buy the DAF 44, Colin. You should get that one for your own personal collection. There were a lot of very valuable items in that barn and some of those signs command a high value too.

[@johnland7318]

The 44 is very rare, check out the number DVLA registered in the UK, bet it's less than 50. I've not seen one on the road for years.

[@chadro_g1145]

Here in the U.S.A., the Mitsubishi was known as the Conquest. Just to pass along a bit of VW knowledge, that's technically not a Beetle. That's a Super Beetle, there is a difference. The way you can tell the difference is the nose. A Super Beetle's nose rounds back under and has vents at the bottom. A Beetle's nose continues down at the same angle until a very tiny rolled lip at the bottom. The fenders vary in this regard as well. There are other differences, but that's the most striking one from the outside. The Super has McPherson Strut suspension up front and all have IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) out back that used a torsion bar for a spring. While these produced a better ride quality, and slightly better handling, they were no where near as reliable and as rugged as what came in a true Beetle. Those had a twin torsion bar front beam and most had a "swing" axle in the back, but the later years had the same I.R.S. setup as the Super Beetle. The front of the Beetle was way tougher because the beam for the front was a self contained unit. If it had problems, you could just unbolt it and swap it for a new one. You could abuse those things over and over and they would come back for more. We would use them in buggies and launch them off jumps with no worries of them ever failing. The Super Beetle's Struts mounted to the inner lip of the front trunk (boot to you guys over there). If you hit the car in the front, it was really hard to get proper suspension geometry back again. I've seen those take half the abuse of a beetle and punch the struts through the sheet metal and out the hood, ruining the car for good at that point. The rear of the Beetle was just as tough. The original "swing" axle cars did not have C.V. joints that would fail. To break a swing, you had to snap the entire axle shaft, almost impossible to do with a car that light, until you reach turbo-ed engine numbers. Those were also geared way lower as they originally had way less power, so VW made up for that with gearing. The swing axle only pivoted at the transaxle it's self and not at the tire. This resulted in the wheel/tire following the arch of the axle and caused the tire to have large amounts of negative camber under acceleration, and large amounts of positive camber while in reverse. If a driver was not use to this, and what it could do, people could possibly roll a car, but not very likely, especially in a VW, or Porsche which used the same thing. So, after a media campaign, which has now been proven to have been based on lies and doctored vehicles, against VW but most of all the Chevrolet Corvair and a book "Unsafe at any speed" by a congressman who's name is not worth repeating, VW moved to the IRS and Chevy stopped the Corvair all together. The new IRS axle used a CV (Constant Velocity) joint at each end. This resulted in a tire that remained in almost exactly the same camber setting throughout it's range of motion. It made the car a little more sure footed, but the reduced weight transfer resulted in less weigh being transferred, which means less traction to be had, so the gain in forward motion was negligible. The gain was in stability during backing up. The reduced reliability of, at times, very fragile CV joints, when compared to the swing axle, makes the swing the more desired axle among off-road and drag race enthusiasts, where the IRS cars are more preferred by those wanting to road race a Beetle. The older cars are also more desired for kit cars, as they do not need a surface to mount the struts to. The swing axle cars are anything from 1967 and older. In 1968, the 4-speed cars were still swings, but the autostick cars were IRS. In 1969 and on they all became IRS.

[@TheFlyby2007]

Grate video collin can't belive all that brass is going for scrap . Thanks for sharing amazing you will get some views

[@mapuppa]

That coin was to celebrate Glasgow Celtic beating Inter Milan 2-1 in the European Cup final in Lisbon in 1967. The first British team to win the competition. It probably says on it 1888, as this was the year they were formed.🍀 These videos are really good, and bring back lots of memories with the stuff you discover. Keep up the good work bud.

[@johngreen6375]

Really hope those cars are saved and not scrapped.

[@marksumner5879]

Great vid Colin, its's nice to see scrap guys that realize that not everything is for melting down or shredding.

[@Caleb0106]

Great video as always mate! It does make me sick that people would think to scrap stuff like that especially the cars hopefully it all finds some good homes and not come back as a washing machine.

Fantastic video Colin. The Mini seats are from the Mini 35 which was launched in 1994 to commemorate the Mini being in production for 35 years. They are not from the 1996 Equinox model as previously suggested, which featured a sun and moon theme across the black seats.

[@carlstevens3850]

Very very interesting, someone has already mentioned the Mk2 Raleigh Chopper which was my stand out moment. Just curious (scrap guys) they paid for and collected brass. What was your take on the Guinness sign, Coca Cola sign and spitfire model going as well? Not very brass like but obviously I don’t know what deal was made.

[@thomasscott199]

I don't think it was a mk2 chopper even though it has chopper mk2 rear dropouts. It has a single top tube and a 4 bolt stem like a mk3. I've never seen anything like that before. Could it be a special?

Not a Chopper but a Ground Cruiser, a very poor copy.

This is the most interesting of your films, though I wouldn't say the most enjoyable. It's very frustrating not to know more about the background to this hoard, who the owners are, and why they don't get featured. Also very sad that only scrap merchants got involved and not an auction house who would have been more likely, imho, to ensure that all those cars and antiques would've got into more caring hands. Just lots of exclamations of 'Wow' and 'Amazin'. With a few 'incredibles', you could've done a passable Kate Bush impression! But keep up the good work.
