I don't think its a spelling mistake, he's stated 'barn fine' twice.

I think Barn fine commands more money than Shed fine.

Nope, definitely one for Dave Gorman.

I wonder if anyone will point it out to him.

Maybe he's coined a new phrase, 'Barn fine' meaning something found in a barn thats not totally knackered?

That looks nice and crunchy. A wander around with a screwdriver would find some lovely thin metal to poke it through I expect.

Barn fine = does this simply pmean item is ok?

Top bid £3500; Reserve not met - sounds a bit optimistic, but good to know the barn is in good condition!

It's been scientifically proven that there are more barn finds than there ever were barns actually built. I believe there's a small company in the Cotswolds building new barns with a car already in them, so you can leave it a few years and use it as a retirement fund.

Furthermore, anything that's been locked away in a garage for more that a year or so qualifies as a barn find. They are also usually the cars that have only done 35000K (which is what, 35 million miles?), are in "time warp" condition and whose first viewer will surely buy. Naturally they produce no knocks or bangs and haven't been welded, so goodness knows how they stay together.

And of course their aircon merely needs a regas.

Probably. But... I've found those older Triumphs tend not to rust so terribly as the '70s built cars. You might (with luck) be surprised.

Don't forget the plate: worth a £bit on its own.

In some ways "Barn Fine" makes sense - the fine is the price you have to pay to get it back on the road after leaving it to rot for years!!

Usually substantial!

I thought this was a post about northern kids spelt wrong.

So, I do need to understand how this works. Do I just buy a barn and wait? will old cars suddenly appear in it, or migrate to my barn? How do I attract them to my barn rather than someone else's? Do I leave a tray of oil out for them?
What happens if somehow a modern car gets in? Will it attack the older cars?

You need to leave a trail of rusty nuts from a nearby road.
