UK Barn Find Of The Decade? Rare Cars See Daylight After Nearly 50 Years! #barnfind #classiccars

[Music] thank you hello this video you're about to see is in two parts this is part one it is the most exciting barn find extraction I've ever attended certainly more exciting than this Austin princess although I do love it um we knew about this barn find we got a text at 10 past 10 the night before could we come down and film it would we like to of course we did we dropped everything I shot down there you're seeing this as I arrive as I see it hopefully you'll get the same excitement I got watching these cars see light for the first time in about 50 years okay I'm here for what could be certainly the barn find of the year um it could be the best barn find you are ever going to see behind me you'll see E-Type and an AC here there are more above e-types in there are bits of e-types granadas Land Rovers everywhere what I'm going to do now is I'm going to try and grab someone here to see if they can run me through each and every car because I'll be honest with you I don't know what all of these are they're a bit beyond my knowledge and we're going to run down and we'll try and film as much as we can of the cars being extracted over the course of today keep watching this is going to be a good one so I'm with guy Snelling at Anglia car auctions as I've said we're not going to say exactly where we are but let's just say it's not the fence we're not in north of Scotland it's some remote Barn we're in quite a uh what's the word I'm looking for built up area and this is a defined of the Year possibly the find of the century here I think and guy's going to give us a quick rundown aren't you guy a little bit of a rundown Elton anything you want to add feel free to our guy thank you when you came here Elton yes your face just lit up like I'm just going to say I can picture you on a Christmas morning as a little boy it was the same scalextric yeah electric the same face so yeah obviously there's a lot going on with just the 80 inch uh series one Land Rover we're just lifting at the minute it's completely broken it's chassis so that's gonna be quite a complex lift but I wanted to show you the main event okay uh which is is behind me um obviously you can see this fantastic band mind your step Elton we have E-Type Coupe a little bit crushed down with the roof above it the AC a Seeker very very rare car right and obviously all aluminum and above that and I don't know if you can see I'm going to come in and um cut you out of the shot guy I'm sorry no please do the soap R is the star mate what have we got up here so what makes it really unusual not only have we got cars three High yeah that is an AC Ace Bristol so it's a Bristol engine ac8 very coming out rare car and that's coming out that's coming out today my word so um the confidence of you guys we've got some very skilled uh chaps here um many hands make light work still I mean we've never been tasked with pulling out Cars 3 High here we have an E-Type Roadster and another E-Type Roadster to uh to my left my word and above me are suspended on these cables I'm going to try to film in here guys however this will work oh my word I haven't been in here yet just squeeze your way through you're going the right way okay mind your step so there's two E-Type shells up here on my word yeah so there are and here is another AC Ace um above head height and they're so it's such a challenge it's a real real challenge obviously you have certain privacy and customer issues here but do you know the back story of these cars they've all been here um probably around approaching 50 years okay um the question everyone's going to ask and you may not know the answer why why not why not just I haven't been to uh to your premises but I know that you possibly this is you in 50 years time uh yeah we've lost in a leg rose with Austin Allegro you know bearing in mind in the 50s and 60s and 70s these cars weren't that expensive they were still very exciting yeah uh and cool but they weren't the money that they are now so it was quite possible that you could put a collection like this together fairly inexpensively yeah um and I'm very pleased that someone has because they've been yes they all need restoration but they have been preserved yes these are and these cars are not known they're you know unknown cars this is going to be quite quite a buzz when they hit the market and when are you selling those we're selling these on Saturday and Sunday uh the 19th and 20th of August 20 23 2023 people watching this eight years down the road because I'm sure this video will stand the test of time just like the cars have um so yeah super exciting lots of work to do on the cars but they are genuine barn finds now I'm going to thank you there and cut this short because I know you are really really busy I'm going to keep out your way but thank you for letting UK barn finds come here we're going to try it's a real pleasure I'm going to try and film bits we can um as much as we can without getting in the way and we just want to see these cars out in the daylight as much as you now so we're looking at I'm very tired looking series one Land Rover here 80 inch lifting is going to be interesting because I think there are a few backbone issues here you might recognize some of the people here you Avid fans of the uh Anglia car auctions live stream the auctioneers get involved that was David you just saw Freddie over there all they're doing is bracing the vehicle at the moment just to make sure that it keeps as complete as possible they've done this before they know what they're doing so it looks like the series one Land Rover maybe about a fly it's going to be a while before it drives but it has come free now they had to move a lot of concrete sheets uh a lot of to try us around it it's well chained well braced so hopefully now managed to get it out through the Narrow Lane and out onto the road there are people that say that auction houses you know just put things on the Internet or just sell things and make money with no effort I'm hoping that some of you are going to change your mind in that regard now okay not every car they sell has to go through this process but this has been a Monumental and is going to be a Monumental effort both in time resource and money to get these cars to sale it's gonna be great I'll be amazed if this doesn't make the newspapers but um just goes to show that the guys that you see working in the offices and on the rostrums get their hands dirty as well gentleman with the broom there that's Neil Gaskins NG vehicle Logistics um we've used him for a few cars now lovely chat does exactly what it says on the terminal he gets your car to you or away from you with no fuss thoroughly recommend Neil if you do need to get a car moved there's got a team of drivers so they're just prepping the Land Rover now it's quite a narrow sort of driveway out onto a main road so here we are series 180 inch [Music] I'm not sure which vehicle we're going on I think we're going if I Pam around there Neil's trailer there obviously this is causing quite a bit of disruption locally but thankfully people understand that you can't do these things without some doing what you're doing really which is blocking Rose a little bit trying to be as quick as they can in very professional and courteous this is one of the easier cars to get out I would have thought okay but out of the way they gonna make life nice and easy a few cameras working today got Freddie over there working for angular car auctions he's going to get some footage too it all helps it helps the story you know if you're buying these cars you'd like to know a little bit about them as much as you need to know [Music] [Music] the often see Vehicles like this going down the road you have a really crosses your mind is that I wonder how that got on there well there you go because you wouldn't be winching that on I'm just pulling off [Music] no idea how much a day like this costs the auction house but um we've got these six staff that I can see at the moment higher equipment obviously the trailers and Recovery trucks expensive day out really but hopefully it's going to be worth the while so here we go first car out Land Rover Series one 80 inch [Music] thank you [Music] so next challenge is this E-Type body just as I said an E-Type body guy Snelling walked into shot look at that I didn't say Beach Body mate I think fata so this should be relatively simple compared to the last Challenge and then you get onto the real project certainly not the most valuable thing here but it's in the way so she's got to go so a tentative Loop now and they'll see how much Integrity is left in that here we go let's have a look [Music] I don't think [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] ly solidly [Music] [Music] [Music] all right not a sight you see every day in the shall we say suburb off she goes the back of the truck it goes away we'll quickly shout out to guy over there two down how many to go mate two down technically eight to go including the Two Chefs there we are one trailer loaded up ready to go series one E-Type or was be made safe and home it's a quick look underneath while we can that's what happens when a car sat in the dirt for those years but fascinating thing to say though I hope you're enjoying it keep watching because the best is to come as I say this is just your starter main course will be served in a few minutes archeology has begun the guy I seem to have a plan I haven't asked them I want to watch it unfold for real in front of my eyes let's put a bit of air going into tires whether it came straight out again I don't know now checking access seeing how solid things are and going for it all hands to the pump now the uh first a type is moving so kind of work around everyone what we've got luckily there's a tree stump there that's going to prove handy for positioning this one so obviously this one needs to come out first before I can even think about the ones above it and to the side of it hang on now just checking for blockages Neil Neil sorted his wife's Christmas present out anyway I normally say look all of this stuff obviously it wasn't here when that went in there because I ain't coming out it's a last move [Music] what I'm finding so interesting apart from the Cars is the fact that so these guys it's just the job is it's like holding their stride I haven't battered an eyelid just get on with it yeah we need to move out then we can do this amazing nice watching experienced people doing what they do sometimes whilst there's some clearance work going around the corner I thought I'd just nip out and say uh shout out to chartered transport these guys here that are your Hired Hands for the day and they're obviously used to this sort of thing they've got all the equipment and I just mean the Machinery you've seen like they've got diggers little uh skid steer things whatever they are but also just having things like all the cushions mattresses straps there's some matting there to make a roadway out um nice guys like I say obviously done this before the first test to see if this system will work cleared some space behind as you may have seen earlier the idea is to get the car out and then they can worry about lifted it and spinning it round to get it down the drive but need to clear the garage first [Music] you don't want to do is cause any damage to the car the other cars the building or anything really [Music] that's just the internet there'll be some expert out there or so they could have done it better but trust me these guys are doing an absolutely fantastic job I haven't blinked they just got on with it so this shoe we got now is although there's some space clear behind quite enough thankfully my camera equipment was behind there has been moved but look at this you're about to see if you are seeing the E-Type Jagger's entirety well yeah yeah so it's out far enough now I can pull the front round it'll be a more straightforward recovery job now just getting that long car out of that garage first Shameless steering is locked on because that would have made it even easier because the the steering was moving that isn't seized up so the next stage is um I'll take a sneaky look in there whilst Freddie's having a Shifty beautiful you do have to ask the question is the engine in there when you get it out hey because obviously it's adds value and B it's going to adjust the um the balance of the whole car because they're going to try and pick it up somehow I think swing it around I'm going to keep banging on about it but auction houses good ones do a lot more then just take the car sell it and take your money you see Freddie here he's normally helping with the classic car sales he's started consign cars gets involved in all the paperwork the admin in the auction house but now his job is to make sure they get as much of a record of these cars as possible to get the story out there and get the best price and get not just the price get it to make sure that everyone is interested in these cars knows about them that's the great thing about the internet you're not going to not use it Daft [Music] so angular car auctions always have videos of their classic cars before to sail up on their site but I think this is a little bit of a new area for them filming an extraction like this but it's great great to see we'll um make sure that obviously the tag Below in the description this video go and have a look at their page subscribe to them as well because I dare say they'll be doing more of this we won't be at everyone we're very fortunate to be asked along today there we go let's hold the airtime here is pretty solid so it's been well and truly strap so that they white is spread nice and evenly they lifted and then obviously moved forward a little bit but hopefully take two in a moment it's getting the angle of the dangle right so that it will swing out those extra few inches that it needs to come as you can imagine it's not easy just to get a position to fill me you kind of um amongst all the platter everywhere you've got to stay safe you need to be visible well I found a little perch here it's quite comfortable I guess what a pretty little site look how often do you get to see this so I think they're going to shorten the back one now that's almost there of all the vehicles in that shed this is the easiest and to be honest I wouldn't want to be doing this I'm sure a lot of you watching this would absolutely love it if you've ever done any like this let us know love to hear from you 've got some best vehicle you've recovered or scene recovered I reckon until the next one comes out this is probably the most expensive I've seen they'll be short-lived because like I said there's more to come and some of it's more expensive thank you [Music] the car is about six foot away from me at the moment [Music] okay so this is the bit where I trip over because I can't look where I'm standing by far so good this one's going straight onto a recovery truck that will leave here shortly and make life a lot easier a bit more space to work with now and also the techniques been worked out it's just when they're hanging from the ceiling it adds another element so I don't need to show too much of this I'm sure everyone's seen a car being strapped on the recovery truck before but time is of the essence so it's all hands to the pump so good news whilst I was charging up the camera the missing wheel off the acrc car has appeared at the back of the garage there was a spinner knocking around I think Neil's now putting that on that's going to make life oh well WD-40 good advert for them there look that's going to sort everything out um that's going to make life a lot easier now that it's got four wheels on it and that's going to be the next car to come out I think plan is some extremely long tine extensions on there take the weight it's being held up by chains hopefully you'll then just be able to free the chains if not I'm sure someone's got an angle grinder back where it's gone in you'll see the ground it's got more mats it's been cleared a bit more I'm going to stick my neck out so I think this will actually be reasonably straightforward [Music] grabbing a car with a forklifts not the hardest thing in the world but when I do it I just generally have to take care of it like this [Music] but I hope that they've got enough length on those times get all the way in there [Music] yeah so I'm just trying to pick up on some of the conversation over here but I think possibly those times don't go all the way at the back yeah so they're talking about strapping it down at the front so you don't get any Tilt at the back just in case a bit more support gone in just making sure it's all um balanced nicely on those times now David's showing his versatility the guy showing off his supervisor skills yeah he looks the part let's get around the other side and have a look but she's free of the ceiling well say the ceiling there's one above it so I think it's free now but I don't want to disturb the guys and ask stupid questions to block and tackle coming down David's giving the signal to come out so hopefully this will see the lighter die this is I say a Seeker I've told so I don't usually mix in these circles so that's a new one for me [Music] [Music] [Music] a bit of a long old train coming out there um obviously if you're looking at this angle you think oh you can just pull it straight back out which yeah would make sense behind there's a lot of stuff still so we're getting there okay good I did not expect this [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] so I just sneakily put a mic on guide Eddie genuinely he didn't I thought it was just an affectionate tap oh um so how do you think it's going mate it's going really well uh we knew it would be slow um what's the time I can't look in them time is now quarter past two uh and in essence we've only got two cars out of the uh shed so far but as you can see lots involved we're having to be quite careful they're quite precarious yeah so taking them out is a bit of a a bit of a mission finding out how they've been attached hidden chains straps really really quite exciting and this one now it's possibly the most precarious of the lot it is it's uh it's the ACs it's the Bristol engine ACA it's a very very rare cars very special car um and from what I can see it doesn't actually look to be in that bad condition so uh I've been really excited really excited it's good it's going great so far from this end as well with love watching it you've got a good team here yeah it's a fantastic team guys know what they're doing so let's let's watch them crack on alignment approach so after a lot of jiggery pokery there's a rumor the Bristol engine they see May be ready to come down try to fight a little bit how on Earth he's got up there in the first place I do not know I was just saying um to guy angler car auctions that um the irony is that probably one man who put them up there very clever guy with a block and tackle a great deal of ingenuity if I'll ever see [Music] such an intricate complex car extraction of a high value car again in my life I hope I do this will be fun [Music] this is coming down now where we find out there's an Indiana Jones booby trap all right I'm trying to film as much as I can but you have to be aware that I may need to dive out of the way in a minute no no no no no no no no no wobble there look at that that was worth the three-hour Drive alone got a sight s very quick scoot around whilst they're sorting out the vehicle to pull us AC Ace out because I haven't seen it oh my word if you've got a teenage son or daughter and you have to venture into their bedroom every day this will probably all look familiar in here the seats are going to need a bit work somebody's been eating those manifolds it's like an airplane so a guy can't wait to have a look around this car everyone here all the car guys and girls here are all over this um it's certainly got presence you don't have to have a wallet that matches the car to appreciate the car always you can appreciate it from afar like I do there we are an amazing amazing find so UK barn finds they do happen it's just not always in a barn [Music] a bit now obviously we're in the garage [Music] so you see is coming out put the girders on the back [Music] [Music] [Music] you just yeah it's going again now what are you trying to do I have to worry I'm using my body as a bit of a beautiful wow [Music] [Music] this car is still fighting a little bit um whoa whoa whoa that Jack there that's all I think you've cleared it now sorry as I was saying um car still fighting a couple of the wheels seem to be seized so it's a bit of Brute Force to get it out get into the relative safety of the driveway I'd nightmares of it hitting that that Jack handle there so the debate is about whether they're gonna lift it or winch it onto the truck now [Music] I'm gonna talk about that [Music] thank you should be good to go fairly straight yeah yeah it's pulling it foreign [Music] [Music] thank you do you think you're halfway through do you think you'll get yeah we're halfway through but let me just show you in here and so basically the challenge the challenge we've got as you can see quite a small um exit yeah two cars down here two etops how we can manage to spin these out through this hole and then the two E-Type shells suspended from the ceiling and then the AC Ace yeah um so it's a real part of the real I mean everything in here is gold but that's that's new another level gold at the back there you can leave that one apart from David shirt which is now a rusty Brown I think yeah yeah yeah you've probably seen better days this year yeah you'll see that same shirt in August same shirt can you wear can you wear can you wear that on the roster today good to see you happy anyway yeah and June smiling you're uh you've you've been in um it's quite interesting watching you today so you're obviously been focusing on your on your camera but I think you've been quite sort of taken by it haven't you it's been fantastic because I haven't had to do anything yes I'm used to doing everything myself so it's quite good for me this is a bus well not even a bus when it's holiday I'm literally doing nothing I'm watching everyone else do the things that I'd usually do back home so it's great fantastic I can't wait to see all this stuff coming well thanks Elton for coming down and uh and and filming it's been getting in the way and getting in the way yeah yeah eating all the biscuits yeah still in the water but yeah that's what I'm here for thank you for watching I hope you enjoyed seeing what I saw you saw it with me I didn't get a preview or anything I literally turned up and they were already just about to start and um like And subscribe hopefully we'll get some more barn finds like this soon and if we do we'll put them on YouTube and you can watch them there well I hope you enjoyed that there is a Twist in the tail something to do with the Bristols the engines head over to Anglia car auctions YouTube channel they explain it all I'm not gonna go into all that detail but it's quite simple um I wasn't sure at this point whether I was coming back tomorrow I couldn't help myself I had to come back so drove home did my normal office work and the next morning I'm back that's going to all be in part two when you'll see the rest of the cars coming out so please look out for that and um subscribe for more stuff like this
