Could this be the UK barn find of the decade? Let us know. Have you ever seen so many valuable cars in what was, basically, a 2-car garage?!!
Watch these rare cars being removed in what can only be described as one of the most intricate car extractions you're likely to see for a while.
This is Part Two of of an AMAZING 2023 'barn find'. Part one is here - • UK Barn Find Of The De...
We are still blown away by the whole experience and hope you'll enjoy us sharing the experience with you. So many questions remain, such as; "How on earth did these cars get there?", "How did they remain in this place for so long?" and "Just how much will they make at auction?"!!
To summarise:
AC Ace
AC Ace Bristol
AC Aceca
Jaguar E-Type Series II x3
Land Rover Series 1 80"
Jaguar E-Type tubs x3
In a back garden!

Thanks for watching and a big HELLO to all our subscribers, new and old!
Never ceases to amaze me that there is still stuff like that to be found in the UK
Yes, but that’s easy to explain: 40 year old guy buys up wrecks when they’re cheap and has plans to restore them, but never gets round to it. Realising that it’s never going to happen can be a very sad thing, so his kids don’t push him to get rid of the stuff, they just wait. And here we are, 40 years later or whatever, with a shed full of classics.
The Manitou driver definitely deserves a PINT !! that's some serious manoeuvring skills...
What fun! The man operating the forklift is going to need a couple pints after that bit of work 😅 Congrats to that whole crew for successfully removing all those old treasures packed in to that Pandora’s box of a garage 😂 Thank you for making the trip to film it all for us and share with the world. Can you tell us if any of the parts were recovered to bring the cars back to former glory? Cheers from the USA! 🇺🇸 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for that comment. It’s great to hear that these videos are being seen around the world, especially as we know that both Jaguar and AC Cars have strong ties with the USA.
Lots of E Types here in Socal. Also seen more Austin Healeys than I did growing up in the UK!
Lovely to see them coming out of there, hopefully they will find good homes. I was however cringing as they moved that last AC , the way they were ragging it round using the aluminium arches was painful to see and they have also ripped and bent up the front valance. I know they need restoration but be a bit more careful!
Same bud. They defo damaged the front 😬
They had definitely had enough by the last AC and just wanted to get done and gone.
The front of that car was fibreglass.
@@UKBarnFinds I'm surprised they didn't rip it then, but we'll done for getting them out
Cant understand why they didn't have more of those small wheels so they could maneuver them more easy iso rolling them on bad tires, also the whack with the jackhammer was ... terrible
Fascinating watching the two videos like a feature film with the moments of nail biting tension ! Thanks for such great content !
I rarely watch a youtube video from start to finish, However I did so with episode 1 and also this one. Great stuff and excellent seeing the guys come together from the Auction, Classic car garage and yourselves putting all this together. Classic car garage need to follow the auction and the restorations.
That's a really pleasing comment to read, thank you! Colin Denton, I have to admit, is my new hero. I'm not sure if his TV company have got any plans with regard to these cars, but it would be great if one popped up on Classic Car Garage one day.
I'm also glad I got the chance to show just how much work an auction house, especially Anglia Car Auctions, often have to put into cars like these. Classic car auctions can be a lot of work. Thanks again - Elton.
@@UKBarnFinds I admit i am surprised how much work the Anglia auctions guys did. The cars are already listed on their website. Aside I now follow your channel, I plan to start following classic car garage as well. Niche media tv at its very best. Thank God for youtube and people like you sharing this stuff.
Thank you! UK Barn Finds is just myself and my partner, Claire (she does all the editing - I wouldn't know where to start!). Support like this means the world to us. I'm sure Classic Car Garage will appreciate your checking them out, too. I'm glad you've seen the listings on the Anglia Car Auctions website. I checked them out earlier and loved seeing the numbers inside the boot of that last AC Ace. I didn't spot those on the day!
Really enjoyed watching part 1&2 expertly removed all those wonderful classics. Well done to each and everyone involved. Thanks for sharing 👍
Been waiting for pt2 this really is something you don’t see everyday
The engineering in that whole operation, the man who put it there must have been incredibly clever,what a man ,,👏 👏
An absolute genius, for sure!
Who was he...... any info on him!!
After watching episode 1 (amazing) the most interest for me was the Primrose E Type. I had a much missed V12 Coupe (HGB866L). Just had a quick look a the auction website - it was manufactured 1969 and only registered in 1978, last taxed in 1984 so it's really only 6 years old. Incredible.
I was wondering how on earth it could be on a T plate. Thanks for the explanation.
I can see now how the previous owner stacked them. Vertical posts with the holes. Large Axle stands to lift the cars onto the vertical posts. Lift one end of the car up, position the pins higher each time.
Also the side of the garage was removable I think, it isn't a wall just metal plates, if they spend some time clearing it away they could have removed the side
@@WimvdBrink EXACTLY!
im watching this and all i can think is "more money than sense."
the walls at each end are just a bit of tin slapped up to cover a hole, theres plenty of room under all the junk and overgrowth at each side, and considering the whole property is going to be levelled , cleared, and "developed"... just tear the shed down altogether. half a day of some real work rather than being... stupid?
work smarter, not harder.
and well, i dont even find these cars that interesting. if they had been old rover 10s, or RR phantoms or ghosts, panhards, durrac, standards, wolslelys, etc... edwardian era... hell, RR? what about just an R? royces early ones before charles got interested? that would have been a discovery!
something that really IS rare...
ive already seen two e-types and a land rover today and its not 10AM yet. common as. like the mustang is just common.
dont get me wrong, i love E types. who doesnt?
Asbestos maybe?
@@magsman448 timber weatherboards, looks like plywood internal paneling, and any corrugated stuff i see is tin and not corrugated fibro.
the roof is even fibreglass in places. translucent. doubt its polycarb roofing, the old stuff was fibreglass.
nah. they just couldnt be bothered tidying up a bit first and instead struggled amidst the filth. i know this feeling well. as i get older, i have learnt to tidy up a bit first, its vastly easier.
maybe it makes for a better video? id personally rather see whats in the pile of junk as they pick it up than watch twits using a forklift and struggling when its simply painful to watch.
My great grandad was one of the five men on the marketing team that came up with the name Jaguar for SS Cars before they decided to rebrand under the Jaguar name. I believe they came up with it as model name initially for an SS car before they decided to rebrand entirely under the name. Naturally Jags are still a big thing in my family and I'm always pleased to see beautiful old E-Types and the like rescued from the scrapheap where possible. Great content
What a great piece of history to be associated with!
My brother bought a new 1967 Jaguar XKE 2+2 in red for $6,500 ..... How I wish that was still around... thanks for an amazing video
It's a joy to watch true professionals at work Throw in some classic cars and you have pure perfection. Cheers to you all!
Yeah, throw in the idea that at some point somebody shut their dog in that barn and let it starve to death. Priceless entertainment.
Rvery time I see that mini excavator smash those piles of trash I shudder. The junk in there may be as valuable as the cars.
Brilliant video, thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through!
Amazing find, amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.
You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
The E-Type is such a gorgeous car! The roadster especially... 🥰😍🤩
Brilliant couple of videos love seeing things like this
Not just the cars coming to an end of an Era, but the Garage and Land aswell. I'm pretty sure in the next couple of yours there will be a house or 3 built on that land. Absolutly 1 of my favourite barn finds. Just wish I had time to watch it before the Auctions.
Amazing the roof never leaked over all those years. And everyone went home with a bad back 😮 great vid.
If this is as good as part 1 this is going to be brilliant, now all I need to do is find time to watch it😮
Just incredible, thanks for sharing. I now realise I can get at least another three cars in my single garage!
That actually made me laugh out loud! 😂
Wow what a find the best I’ve ever seen and thank you very much for putting this video up I enjoy every moment can’t wait for the auction
Absolutely Amazing... Thank you for sharing all this adventure.
So glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Awesome barn find, and what a delicate operation
So very well done Folks, the hoist driver did really well and what a skill he has!
Thanks so much for sharing with us and look forward to news of auction and the results.
I should think that the site will now be developed possibly and the new owner/s will be able to see what was where they are now maybe.
Great music at 40.25 and at the end as well, keep up the great work. Brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Its the experience of watching the car come out of its resting place for the first time, I relate it to watching my daughters being born. Best from the USA
Thank you for capturing the recovery, great viewing.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate it.
Huge respect to all the guys involved in removing these cars over both parts 1& 2 , also the chap who managed to get them in there two great videos
Thank you. We appreciate the feedback and are glad you enjoyed the videos.
As a life long petrolhead, I love watching this kind of content. This was particularly interesting when you put up the date the yellow E Type was manufactured........my 17th birthday. Yeh, I'm getting on a bit.
Absolute cool finds there! Watching them mess up the front end on the last one hurt to watch though.
Just discovered your channel today and watching this part since 2 hours 😊
Breathtaking stuff 😂❤
I think they went in differently than how they took it out, if you look closely you can see that there is another access on the right. But nice to see how that person managed to squeeze 8 cars into such a small area
Ive pulled some cars from difficult/ impossible places , never seen one as difficult as that though hats off to the lads who pulled these out ( respect )
Great !!!!! I am in the USA in Illinois and it was great !!!!!!!!!!
You have to admire them all. for their determination, patience. and their skill. 5* to the driver for his skill with that machine, and saving as much as possible. buy him a gallon. not a pint. Good luck to you all.
Great finds. Those e types will restore nicely. That 4.2 is amazing
Well done lads!😀
Thanks allot very nice film 😊😊
Really great video's enjoyed watching
Never mind the classic cars, the Manitou was impressive, I want one!
Excelentes videos, tanto el N°1 y este.... gracias por mostrarnos esas máquinas imponentes de otra época. Gran saludo desde Uruguay.
I wonder at the folks watching this seeing stuff in the "scrap" pile being damaged in the move NEEDING that part. However WHAT a job. As was said a number of times, the work and ingenuity to get them all in there, without all the help that was used to get them out WOW.
Great stuff guys.. I hope they remember to take all those loose wheels with them..
What a fantastic find and hats off to all concerned very skillful work why did the cars have to be out by five is it a deceased estate I would imagine it will all be pulled down and redeveloped
Looking forward to seeing the auction and see how much they fetch hopefully they can all be saved
Loved it that was so much to watch someones grandfather put those cars there such a feat took a lot of thinking and skill it was good team work fork lift driver was great i have seen houses like that in Romford or Ilford great job by you well done
Thank you. It was great to be able to go there to film it and a real eye-opener as to the lengths Anglia Car Auctions went to in order to get these cars in front of the right potential purchasers. I hope the auction goes well, not just for their sake, but also the vendor and the cars themselves. It would be great to spot them in the future, restored and driving down the street.
I doubt that person had family somehow.
Well wot can I say talk about sweat and toil recovering these classic relics.
Tight as a fishies arse in that barn great work lads experience fork lift skills indeed.
Who ever buys these cars will certainly need deep pockets to restore them.
Great video. You say the yellow E-Type was built in August 69, but it's on a T plate...
Yes. I’m guessing it went abroad and returned. DVLA didn’t give age-related plates back then, certainly not always. My own first car was built in 76 and on a V reg, and I know that was the case for that one.
wow....what a find !!!!....greetings from Florida....
Awesome Coverage of this Mammoth Task, your a great Narrator too, I would love to hear a backstory to this find for sure, keep up the great barnfinds...
Thank you so much for your comment we really appreciate it 🙏
2 great videos guys brilliant
Thank you 🙏
amazing how lovely the cars look even filled with dust and dirt/what a professional crew removing the cars
Part 2 was just as good as part 1, throughly enjoyed both parts,are you going to follow the cars/ parts through auction? Would be good to see what they go for.
We hope to. I’d also recommend watching the livestream of the auction, if you get the chance, on the Anglia Car Auctions RUclips channel. They have a proper production team in and it’s done very well.
I am intrigued to know more about the Betty Haig connection!
i especially like the way they clean up the sight for easier navigation
The tele lift driver has some good skills
this has been amazing wanting these two eporzordes and what the guy did to hid these old cars for over foureen years its amazing how he got these up in the roof there was eight cars all cramed into one little shed .
It'll be nice to see a Part 3/4/5 ... following them through the auction right through to full restoration
Watching the bumper get smashed in, after all these years wasnt the best,😢
Great job by the gentleman on the telehandler. The AC is the same age as myself 🏁😎🏁
Great video of this incredible rescue. Will UK Barn finds follow the restorations n the furure.
So glad you enjoyed the video. We have put it out there that we would love to follow the restorations. I guess we will have to see if the owners are up for it?…
I have a photo of Betty Haig's light blue XKSS registered WVM 3 at Shelsley Walsh in 1961.
Reading up on her for this video, I realise I need to read even more about Betty. She sounds like she led an incredible life!
@@UKBarnFinds Yes, indeed. My mum competed against her in the Monte Carlo rallies of the early '50's.
Really beautiful cars - as they are, out of the mess, covered with dust.
48:03 - looking at the panelling behind Colin offers a hint of how the two Jags got in there side by side. Presumably the outside of that wall is now longer accessible.
That could well have been the case! And, yes, it was now inaccessible from the outside there.
Fascinating video
Great 2 part videos . . So glad i stumbled accross your chanel . . And yes . Ive subscribed . . Hi from New Zealand
. . Would be awesome if you followed the cars progress from sale to resto and finally on the road . . . Would be a great series . . . The driver of the fork lift is a legend . . Well done him and to the team . . 🏆
I'd love to be able to do that, if one or more of the purchasers got in touch after the auction. I'm sure they'll appear somewhere, if not here. Wouldn't it be great to see them on the road again? Or even the track?! It's nice to know these videos are going around the globe. UK Barn Finds is me with a camera and a lot of coffee, and Claire, my other half, who does all of the editing. We get a real buzz when we realise just how far these videos have travelled. The world can be a small place sometimes, full of friendly people. Thank you for commenting.
@@UKBarnFinds yes it would be a great series . . . You could of course go to the auction and hunt out the new buyers and put the idea to them . . . They can say "yes"or "no" . . .. the one owned by Betty Haig would be a good one to get on the track . . Not sure if it was raced or her daily . . Great job . Take care
Yeah l'm stunned the amount
of stuff in the yard is staggering, what did happen to the stuff left behind,l'm sure it was a mixture of parts & junk ( of good stuff hahaha)
I was very entertained so thanks ,cheers from Melbourne, Australia 😁😁
That was epic!
Can you do a video on the auction? Brilliant I subscribed
Great to know back story.
Good job men!
Some spares lying around too. Spotted the Granada wing leaning against the fence
Yep I spotted them, and maybe a Dolomite bonnet in the workshop? Land Rover rear windows too. I hope the parts got hoovered up before the land gets cleared 😮
@@Brettski777Yes, that MK1 Granada wing needs to be in the right hands.
Enjoyed? 😮 I‘m loving it 😊❤
It almost looks as if the cars were stacked up outside, and then the structure was built around them - unless the owner had access to a telehandler or similar equipment. It's also nice that he saw the value in these cars back when few others did, and saved them from likely demolition.
Good old fashioned ingenuity.
The steel uprights have pin holes every 4", jack one end up and support with a cross beam then repeat the other end and continue till you reach the desired height.
The lintel beams at stonehenge were lifted in a similar manner but just on wooden blocks and with levers instead of hydraulics / pulleys.
I hope this will inspire people to research whether that rusting hulk in granny's back garden is actually valuable.
The answer to how the jags got in there is the corrugated panel wall would have been removable, you can see where it butt's up to the breeze blocks.
It would’ve been cool if at auction, they displayed the cars the way they were found
That Ace is worth a few quid ! Betty Haig was an amazing driver.
Hi Paul, we filmed the auction, if you’d like to see how much they all went for -
ruclips.net/video/vk5kZdLxCK4/видео.html
I did read up on Betty Haig after this and you’re right, she was a real trailblazer.
The bloke who put them inside that space must have been an. Interesting chap. This fork lift driver is very good, it's been such a tricky job.
I’d love to go back in time and spend a few months in the company of this guy, when these cars were probably a part of his everyday life. That must have been such a fun time!
The guys from Chartered Transport were great. I’d certainly recommend them.
Great videos, I only just noticed but did the AC Bristol later become the Shelby AC Cobra ?, it looks very similar.
Yes, Carroll Shelby commissioned a version capable of accommodating a V8 and the rest is history.
Incredible find! 👌
Did anyone saved the OPEL Admiral, Diplomat, Commodore alloy wheel from part 1!?
😎😅😂🤣
I think quite a few of the parts were salvaged.
Yeah, sure top find. Might have been sensible to wear dust masks for the task, as the debris could well be vintage too. Just a suggestion guys!!!
Looks to me as if the white AC had a tow bar fitted, one wonders what the owner used to tow with that car ?
Also hats off to the telly handler driver .
Great two videos, thanks for sharing 👍
Regards uncle Franko
@unclefranko2452 To tow all the other cars by the looks of things!
That garage originally had a second door in front of where the last car was let down on the ground. I hope they took all the spare parts lying around the garage, like the windscreens, bumpers etc.
Love to watch the auction.will you be filming?
Yes, we hope to do our own follow-up video, but please watch the Anglia Car Auctions livestream of it if you can. They have a proper production company in for it and it’s very well done.
@@UKBarnFinds thank you, will check.👍
Be sure to save those XKE wheels hanging out in there. Might be some other smalls on the outside worth saving too.
Pretty sure they got saved, along with various other bits. Well spotted!
Land Rover truck cab rear panel at 50:14 - they're quite sought-after too.
Wow that was killer
Cool video ! But only slightly concerned of the amount of original parts chucked in the rubbish pile and dozed in to a heap
Once you get the car/ load on rollers use a cum along or a chain block to save manhandling or you cant get a telehandler in.
I can remember a E type .... needing restoration...going for a $A1000 in 1970.
My Dad sold his low mileage immaculate 1962 MK2 3.4 in 1970 for $A1800.
Jags were very rare in West Australia 50 years ago. They would have been cheaper again in Britain.
That fox skeleton would look nice mounted on a wall.
Is the primrose roadster an import ? Just wondering why it's on a 78 T plate ?
Love your channel. How the hell did he get the cars above.🤔🤔
Amazing what one man can do when he has time to think shit out.
Believe it or not these are my granddads cars and now he’s in a care home 😢
It's difficult to know how to respond to this comment, but I would like you to know that every single person involved in this admired the hard work, skill, determination and taste that the man who stored these cars showed. We spoke about it constantly, all of us. I chatted to a few neighbours, too, who also spoke highly of him. One, in particular, told me how he was always such a happy and pleasant man when they waved to each other and said hello. I hope the sale of these cars goes well. Anglia Car Auctions will work very hard to make sure it does.
What’s happening to the garage ?
Your Grandad has good taste in cars. His efforts at careful storage should pay off, these cars will probably end up restored. Wishing you and your Grandad all the best.
Please dont show him how they removed these. He would be heartbroken. There was some care but there was alot of recklessness. I hope he is ok. Sad to hear. I hope the funds go toward him living his best life in the last years.
@@robbojr11The old boy’s own fault really?
would not like to pick up the bill for the full restoration of these classics but i might like the cheque for their restoration value once sold
The guy who put those up there must have been sweatin bricks an been totally knackered after doing so...
Part 3 please
Fingers crossed, that will be after the auction 👍
Great find however the damage done to the last AC was dreadful to watch . Obviously not used to damage free removal.
Agreed, I just kept thinking "put it down!"
Just want to go home Friday night I expect..I am 72 scrapyard born and bred..b.ham
Cars were parked, and shed built around them as they were stored. Only way they could get in there like that. 😂😮😅. Great cars. Pleased I found this. Would have loved being at the auction 😊
