Thanks for reading.

I have been looking for a barn local to me for some time, to store my cars. I was contacted by a farmer who has a barn, but it is full. I went to take a look and he told me that the barn had been full of stuff for over 40 years. When we opened the door we were greeted by seven Triumph cars. 6 of them are Triumph 2000/2500 including a PI and rare estate car and one Triumph Toledo.
Surrounding the cars is an estimated £150k worth of new old stock parts, still in original unipart boxes. This is everything from steering wheels, mechanical components, body panels and glass.

To try and help the elderly owner get some money back out of this, I have set up a webpage to try and sell some of the items. I will be cataloguing and adding parts in my spare time. Please take a look here: https://www.monktonsclassiccarparts.com/
If you need any parts, please use the contact us to leave a message and I will hunt the parts out for you.

We hope to save/sell as many of the cars as possible. Some pictures for interest...
