Seeing so many recoverable classics rusting away is like an unpunished crime.

[@philipsearls1946]

A field of memories and dreams. As an old Ford mechanic, I worked on these cars. The Transit Van caught my eye. Given the chance, I bet I could get it to Start. The 2.5 diesel engine was bullet proof. Thanks for the Memories Guy's. Made an old man's day. Big Thumb's up.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Thank you so much Philip for watching and your lovely comment; much appreciated 😄

The predecessor the 'York' 2.4 was a pig to start, worked on many in the late 70's/early 80's, there was even an earlier Perkins Transit on the fleet still

The Rover 200 BRM did well at auction to fetch over £1,100. Well done. I subscribed to your channel after watching your Allegro video. That was my first car back in the mid 1980s. It was an orange coloured 1.5 HLE. It was a 1981 W reg bought off a neighbour for £750. He'd just fitted a new clutch, too. The only trouble I had with it in the 3 years I owned it was the pipe split on the Hydra -gas suspension fluid and it all pissed out, leaving the car tilting at a strange angle. My brother done a temporary weld job on the pipe - extremely carefully - seeing as the fuel line run very close to it! So after driving to the garage (slowly) they topped the gas up for around a fiver. I then ordered a whole new pipe which cost £28 - this was 1989. I loved that car but eventually sold it in the early 90s for £500 and bought a Metro (what was I thinking?) I'm enjoying going through your videos. I miss my days tinkering with cars. Just topping up my washer fluid every so often is all I seem to do nowadays. No more changing wheel bearings, fitting exhausts, or doing my own servicing. I leave all that caper to my local garage who is excellent and knows my Ford Fiesta diesel like the back of his hand and is completely 'mates rates' with any jobs.

[@johnshaw4140]

Air conditioning on the old 900 turbo was a very rare factory option, especially on an 8 valve that early. The reg plate seems to be 'C' plate, but it's actually much earlier. The latest it could possibly be is 'Y' reg.

An absolute gold mine of a video. Love it. All the MGBs tick my boxes but the little Renault 4 is a charmer. I once got a lift back from a concert in the early 80s in a Renault 4. There should have been 2 people with cars picking us up but in the event only the Renault 4 turned up. Nine of us in it. I wonder how we all fit ( I was one of those in the boot) 😀

[@geo2cv6tron14]

It’s really really impressive, but also a little sad to see all these old cars being slowly eaten away by vegetation, I like the MG B, the Saab and this Reliant Scimiticar, and if I had to save one it would probably be this Renault 4L (maybe because I am French and I like the cars of my country) 😁🤩👍

[@JimF500]

You can see the quality of the Saabs even in the scrappy. I've never owned a classic Saab, only a 9-5 (maybe they are now😕) Regretted selling but., had to. I do like the R4s, more so than a 2CV. You guys were very lucky to get access to such a nice find. Looking forward to the next one 👍.

The MG at 56:12 where Claire says "not much left of this one" is possibly one of the most solid Leyland/BMC cars in the video!

[@UKBarnFinds]

Possibly, but there’s not a great deal left of it. If it is solid, though, it will be a great prospect for a restoration.

Optimal length for videos is apparently 30 mins so bear in mind for longer ones you may want to break them up with sneak previews at the end of each. Scirocco looks the best of this bunch, amazingly having been saved by the undergrowth which has acted as an umbrella!

Although all of the relays and you did not show underneath to see if it was rusty. The Sirocco, being an early mk2, on the surface looked like a great project car. Other than the dash board, the interior looked reasonably good too. What's is going to happen to all of these cars? Someone here in New Zealand is currently trying to sell a similar aged Mk2 GTI version for $21,000.00 NZD (just over 10,000 pounds).

Hi from Sweden. Yes, it's an Escort mk1 1300 Sport. Probably a 73-74. This can be seen, among other things, on the instrument panel, which is a six gauge panel.

Singer Chamois had 4 headlights and was a fastback or sloping back. The Imp was more boxy.

[@video99couk]

Scary how much newer many of these cars are, than my daily driver (1972 Hillman Avenger). Some are even newer than my new car (1994 Toyota Celica). Many of these cars were not particularly fashionable in their day but highly desirable now, like the Scirocco.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Agreed. Most of these were definitely ‘Everyman cars’. I absolutely love Hillman Avengers. A rare sight nowadays ~ Elton

[@KiwiStag74]

Honestly, this could be a new game show! You could call it "Guess That Motor" and just uncover a wheel or partial headlight at first with maximum points given for id'ing it from that and points reducing each time you have to strim lumps of brambles off before someone guesses correctly. Winner gets to choose which "project" they would like to take home and the others all get a hubcap or door handle for participating. Could be the next big thing, guys....!! 😂 It scares me a bit to admit how many of the ones in hedges that I picked up from an exposed indicator, tail lamp, bumper edge or piece of trim. One of the Triumphs was a '74 or later Toledo as it looked to have the reversing lamp incorporated into the tail light and that wee Triumph 1300 - the Toledo's father - is a rarity in itself, being that few were sold (they were not produced for very long) and they were a front wheel drive with the engine mounted longitudinally. The Escort could well be a Sport in that the dash is definitely set up for the 6-dial binnacle. Hard to say if it is the genuine shell without seeing the front wings or the tags or the strengthening bars though. My favourite so far would have to be the little Scirocco though. Man, that looks marvellous! Great walk-around, people. Thoroughly enjoyable and the excitement is infectious! Looking forward to the next installment. All the best
