Two E30 M3s with double-digit mileage, a 190E 2.5-16 EvoII… and my fave, a Ford RS200. :eekdance:

I’m always torn with these barn finds… how could anybody ever drive these without feeling guilty with every single mile put on them?

How could anyone ever display an attic find Davinci painting without feeling guilty about every second of exposure to humidity & UV light?

it’s not nearly the same… the painting doesn’t have a view counter on it.

Unless it’s covered in Hay and mud, it’s not really a barn find.

In a garage, that is pretty clean and straight, that belonged to some old guy that has been driving his Lark as a replacement for his exotics, is just a good find. Not “a lost treasure”

The cars itt weren’t meant to be displayed.

So long as the owner doesn’t hack it/them up to make a track only car or some Newman Special out of it I don’t really give a shit. I’d rather that they be driven then ritualistically polished solely for the sake of displaying them behind a velvet rope - that’s the real insult to enthusiasts.

Then again, His car, His will.
