Think I might be being a bit stupid here but can't see any old cars coming up?

It's turned up now, very odd.

In some ways wish it hadn't some tempting piles of rust there!

Owner seems to have making a habit of buying cars then partially dismantling them, before moving on to the next confused

That must have been a large barn if the cars came from one place.

I love their description "engine present".

I like how they are all parked over a puddle of unknown liquid for the photos. Adds to the authenticity

There are some really tempting projects in there. I'm often amazed at the price stuff like this sells for but with the sheer quantity of wrecks here there may be some bargains.

You might have to buy all three 635s to find two decent front wings amongst them...

Wow - one for Extreme Car Hoarders!

Lots of interesting stuff, but much of it beyond my capabilities.

I wouldn't mind having a go at the 996 though. Fair bit of recommissioning to be done considering it's been sat up about 12 years by the looks of its MOT history, mind.
