What is it with Jaguar XK120’s that makes people forget about them? Here’s a barnfind Jaguar that spent the last 25 years in a garage, covered in junk.

The romantic concept of a barnfind is that it’s an old car, completely original, that was put away in a shed many decades ago and forgotten. But that is not always the case, as this Australia barnfind shows.

To demonstrate this, the seller has very wisely decided not to clean the car. The thick layer of

When this 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S was found in a barn, there was a Rolling Stones cassette still in the cassette player. The very same day that it was found, the engine was already running.
