My barn find is home.

[tight fart]

Just got my barn find home, 1958 2.0l petrol 88"
It's been off the road since 1989 and stored in a barn since.
It does seem very original, even the seats.
Mileage shows 42k that I'm beginning to think could be correct.
I've put some pics here and will add as I get time

Hi Richard

You Jammy bar steward - if you don't mind me asking, how much did you give for it?

looks good enough to just recommission and use - that's what I would do, then rebuild later.

well done and good luck

For something that's been in a barn for not a great deal less time than I've been on the planet it's in fantastic condition.



What's the plan? As vjj said I'd just get on with using it, but is there a long term grand plan?

Reminds me of my old "Dulux" Series II Safari SWB, found in a barn in the lates 80's, not moved since the early 70's new battery & some petrol in the carbs it fired up third go 931 ALR where are you now??

The plan is just a sympathetic mechanical resurrection rather than a restoration
I'd like to just get it back on the road and use it.
