no there are barns out there all over the place. Just when you think that is the last one Poof, another one is found. KEEP LOOKING. so far I have purchased and pulled from the barn 1. Austin Cambridge X 2 2. Austin Atlantic 3. the Jensen and I have my sights on a pair of Bond Equipe A Morris 10 and a couple others. The Jensen is now in my garage awaiting help and after 35 years in a Texas Barn she needs help and plenty of it. Ralph
And in Saint John there was a 1951 Jaguar 120 S with alloy body that a friend pulled out of a garage hauled it home and sold it on to Montreal for a fortune. Another others I saw last fall - a reasonable TR6 that needs work but is going for under $1800 or a Spitfire with good paint and rebuilt engine but needs interior and it has a parts car. again asking $2000 but worth $1500 call me for contact. And lets not forget the Lagonda and Morgan up on the Kingston Penninsula that many in the club know of. Heck the place is littered with barn cars. :) Ralph
I'm not sure what constitutes a barn find, but here's another. eBay description is a bit unusual. "brought over from England 21 years ago its was cut in half to get it thru customs but only the body the frame was never touched". http://www.ebay.com/itm/281694021115?rmvSB=true

Here's another on for you Ralph. I bought one of these (1966) new in 1967 from Gulliver Motors in Hamilton

Yep...both of my cars kind of came out of barns...the TD out of a barn like garage, and the Jag actually out of a basement. They are around.
