Have a look at these "barn find" cars

I used to have one of these for tracking when I was a young teenager

Some interesting other cars in his other items.

One of my uncles has a truly vast collection of end of life heavy machinery- like bulldozers, excavators and so on. Some have been there so long they have trees growing through them. "They might come in one day"

There's a farm not too far from me with all manor of cars, Rovers, Jaguars, Land Rovers & many others. Seems he buys a car, runs it until it develops a fault, sticks it around the back & buys another.

My dad had a Daf 33 when I was learning to drive (in an Austin A40).  When I passed he let me drive it but I did not like the floating sensation of the drive at all!  Fortunately he bought a Ford Escort soon after which I did like driving.
