- We all love to see barn find cars for sale but it's fair to say that, usually, the first peek most of us get at them is when they appear at a classic car auction.
In this video, we go behind the scenes to show you how Anglia Car Auctions go about collecting barn finds. Regular viewers of their channel - @AngliaCarAuctions - and website will know that the team there offer barn finds and projects for sale all the time. They have a reputation for sniffing out barn finds far and wide, so it was probably quite refreshing for them to find one on their doorstep.

As far as barn find collections go, this was as straight forward as they come. We've featured hibernating cars in the past that have had to be practically dug out. However, the day was nearly cut abruptly short for UK Barn Finds when their drone attracted a bit of attention from an unlikely source....
We'd love to know your thoughts and memories regarding these cars. Maybe you were a bit of a tearaway in a Ford Capri, have always fancied a Jaguar XJS, or have never seen an Austin A90 Atlantic before. Please comment; we read them all.
Thanks to Guy Snelling of Anglia Car Auctions for enabling us to share this day with you and to Neil Gaskins of N G Vehicle Logistics for chatting to us. Thanks, also, to the vendors for allowing us access and for, basically, being such nice people.

That Austin is by far the most worthwhile project there. I think I would have done something to secure that rear glass so it doesn't go flying off.
Hi the rear glass was designed to open up, pull down or wind down I'm not sure.
I was watching older videos and the buzzard going after your drone cracked me up. Never seen you move so fast. Not sure whether it was you running or the situation that brought laughter tears to my face. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video. The Austin A90 Atlantic is by far my favourite. If only I had the space, time & the funds to restore it. Still very tempting though. Steph from idriveaclassic did a great test drive of a restored Austin A90 Atlantic. Definitely a car on my ever increasing wish list. 😀
To Alexandra Wood - go for it Alexandra! Good things don't come easy - hope you csn save the money!
I agree with Claire. The Austin A90 is my favourite and would be a worth while restoration project! Would definitely be a conversation piece at car shows. Cheers.
In the 70s I drove a Kiwi assembled 'Izuzu' Gemini coupe (antipodean equivilent of the Kadett) around Auckland NZ - 1800cc, different dash/interior, a bit more upmarket, and rather sprightly for a little 'un!
The 1.2 Kadett in the UK was gutless.
You mean 1.6
Good night everyone cool videos of you and your wife saving rare barn finds on vehicles please keep it up thank you for your lovely videos
Brilliant job again Elton, but you chose the wrong car mate. It's quite clear that the Atlantic should be everyone's choice, beautiful car in their day and very rare now.
That little Opel looks very usable.
It does look like a solid little thing.
Austin Atlantic or A90 was a car designed for the American market, with a fixed head and convertible version. The car had hydraulic operated hood and windows. The engine was a 4 cylinder 2.66 litre OHV, with twin SU carbs. It made approximately 100bhp. The engine was also used in the Austin Healey 100/4.. 😊
Like the Austin Atlantic, haven't seen one for a long time. Hopefully it will get back on the road again, but it appears to be in need of a lot of work.
Agreed. It does need a lot of work, but would be such a great car in the right hands.
The A90 Atlantic is the one for me.
I've only ever seen two on the road, at 10 in 1967 an old chap owned one at the other end of my street, i was always fascinated by it, woukd have been 15yrs old then.
Also when in NZ in 1987 i saw one cruising along the duel carriageway. There is a nice example in the Haynes motor museum , Sparkford. Wiltshire.
Enjoyable video cheers 🍻
I’ve never seen one on the road, but I can imagine it would leave quite an impression. They really are a quirky-looking car.
That Buzzard, was a Red Kite. The 2.0 Capri, brings back a few memories, mine looked like that after I rolled it.
You’re correct, I believe it is a kite. What is it about Capris and rolling? 😂
@@UKBarnFinds The drivers maybe.
The word was that Capris had notoriously bad road handling 🤣
I love the Kadett especially the wheels, they remind me of mum's Manta A.
For me, because of its rarity. It would have to be the Austin. And the little Kadett coupe would be second. I had the 1584 cc Holden Gemini version here in NZ.
That little Opel went by so many different names around the world. Love your two choices 👍🏻
The Jag would be my number one especially as is a late one. Very close second is the Austin - a shape which is hardly ever seen nowadays - as usual. Clare has excellent taste (in cars).
“in cars” 😂. That XJS is definitely a classy-looking car. Didn’t look like it would take too much to get an MOT on it, too.
The Atlantic has always been a favourite of mine, Used to see a convertible regularly about 60 years ago. They had a nasty habit of rolling over, as did the Austin Healey 3000 if you pushed them a bit too hard.
Here in Australia, people used to do an engine swap with the Jag's by putting a Holden engine in them
That Austin Atlantic is quite a find and really needs restoring. Exceptionally rare, it is estimated that fewer than 60 survive, they only made around 8000 in the first place!
I hope it is restored, too. It would be quite an undertaking, but there are people out there who would relish the challenge.
Great video Elton Definitely the Kadett although the jaguar looks good too. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you. I’ll be intrigued to see if all the love for the Opel turns into bids on the day. Could be an interesting one to watch.
the Atlantic for me!! i would love that
Land Rover without a doubt. Love the tractor as well.
Heck, yeah, a new barn fine video!!!
I absolutely love the A90. I came across two Atlantics years ago: one was a metallic green convertible - a non runner with the gearbox sitting on the back seat. Someone had also hacked up the front floor in the process of getting it out. That one was in Malvern, around 1982 and I dearly hope it has survived. I think the plate was LAB? The second was an utterly dire one whose remains were in the legendary Harry Buckland's yard at Churchdown, near Cheltenham. That one was around 1985, but is now long gone.
Highlight of my weekend, a new video from you two, cheers !
No Claire in this one. We’re gonna lose subscribers 😂
@@UKBarnFindsNah, she's there in spirit, and editing of your manly stature...
That bird attacking the drone was a kite, not a buzzard,I believe 😉
It was. I was wrong. Happens a lot 😃
I love Claire too. She's lovely. However, today I am agreeing with you Elton. My favourite also is the Opel. For most people the value will be limited by it only having a 1.2 Engine. But I like supporting the underdog. For example, my daily driver is a 1983 mk 3 Escort with a lowly 1.1 engine. I bought it reasonably fro Ebay nearly 2 years ago. It is LHD, which also kept the price down.
I had a 1.3 MK3 Escort and it was superb. I loved that car. It’s still on the DVLA database, but long gone now 🥲
To neale burgess. I've never seen the Opel - but I like it too!
Great video squire! That Opel was rare back in the day! Particularly a coupé version, the Atlantic is nice, missing the lovely Claire ❤❤❤❤❤
Don't worry, she'll be back this week 😂
The jaguar xjs is my favourite
Liking the little opel.
It's the kadett for me had one the saloon version wish I had the money to get this one there are very rare to find I also had a opel ascona if you can remember them also very rare great video
Fantastic video. Great cars. Thanks for the effort of making it.
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
The Austin Atlantic made for the American Market didn't do too well, so we got to have them 😊 I do love A35s and have owned two in the past 👍
Nice one Elton. Another successful Born Find Extraction. Off we go to 'ACA', who, as you know, I've been watching since CVD19 days! No Claire today?!
No, the travel involved meant it didn’t fit within school run times and she’s happy to do the editing and let me do the filming with these ones. Next video is mainly her, though, so balance will be restored 😁
Here in Australia a Austin A90 Atlantic 1951 has sold for around $15,000 au. It has some rust in the door sills and some rust in the passenger side floor and the wheels are locked. It sold with all the extras that came with the car and had about 107,000 miles on the clock. I hope this is of interest to you.
Thank you. That’s interesting to know. I suspect there are still a few British cars of that era in yards around Australia. I remember seeing quite a lot when I came over in 2011.
To Melodee. Yes, the Atlantic IS of interest! Thanks!
Brilliant love it 👌
Hi Elton, very cool video. I quite like the Jag myself.
Great video Elton .The 1951 A90 Atlantic Coupe is a rare find and I would have thought right up your street !, the roadster version especially handsome .They were so long disregarded , and many were sent to the US for much needed post-war income but were never a big seller.They are now deservedly highly sort after and making strong money but this example will take a lot of dedication but have seen far worse .The only Austin with 2 ' Flying A ' mascots !.
I did like the A90, but the also-cool Kadett won on the day, probably because I could see it being an easier project 😀
The A90 Atlantic was a sales disaster, but then Leonard Lord (the boss at Austin) saw Donald Healey's sports car prototype and the first Austin-Healey was born. Using the 2660cc and the rest of the A90's mechanicals, Healey created the Austin-Healey 100 BN1. The bodies were built by Jensen. Many Atlantics were later sacrificed to provide spares for the A-H 100, so they're very rare today.
@@RoyCousins You're absolutlely correct Roy , they were a sales disaster and I'd always suspected the bodies were built by Jensen with the likeness of the quirky A40 Sports.I recall 2 at an auction 30 years ago in better condition than this one and both failed to achieve a bid !.I've just always liked them and recall them as a child as a not that unusual sight on the roads .Having recently seen an impeccably restored open touring model it looked stunning and was causing immense interest and visitors voteing it the car they'd like to take home !.
Years ago a friend advertised that he wanted the side-panels for a Mini-Moke, none were forth-coming, but he was totally amazed at the number of requests he had asking him to sell the vehicle. Being an entrepenurial fellow hisself, and having bags of room.
He decided that he would advertise for such sought-after machinery, as U.S Jeeps, old Land-Rovers, any Pick-ups, and of course the Mokes, especially the 13 inch wheel models. Which was the most sought after model. ! He bought a 1947 Mercedes from me, hoping it would be used in a war film being made, but they said it had to be a pre-war model.
I wish I had kept it now, but the Austin Atlantic dies along with many other favourites should have been been greased up and hidden away for future use. Even now Mini-Mokes would sell out.. Mathewsons Auctions got in excess of £14k for one some time ago. !
Hi Elton, i've recently subscribed to the CZcams channel after being on the FB site for years and it's really great. Nice to see you're also part of the CZcams community along with Hubnut, Furious Driving etc but also a little bit different. Keep up the good work, loving the content.
Thank you. You’ll see the other half, Claire, in most of the other videos, too. She’s the star of this channel 😂
We got to meet HubNut, Furious Driving and iDriveaclassic recently and they are lovely. Everyone offers something a little different, which is great, but the love of old vehicles means we all want each other to do well. CZcams is great for that.
@@UKBarnFinds Yes i saw the Hubnut interview on Wednesday and have seen Claire in the A30 stuff. 🙂
love the austin i drove one of these back in the 1960
Got to admit I had a soft spot for the Kaddett, my first car was the saloon version and a 1977 like this coupe, mine was pale blue 1198cc engine that ran on 3 star petrol. Very nippy and lovely to drive, but alas a couple of winters and me being naive in the maintenance led to its demise. Being my first car I still remember the reg no AFV 372R.
Whilst Claire's favorite car is the Atlantic out of the two of you she is my favorite 😍😍😍
I need to find out how much she’s paying you guys to write this stuff 😂
If the Austin Atlantic were to be re-made, I would also be in the Queue, but tha manufacturers never consult the people as to what they like apparently !
To John Rideout. NEVER?Sometimes! 2 models of Minis, and 3 models of Volkswagen Beetles!
loving the Opal...
Kadett my favourite.
I had a friend who owned the same model 1.2 Kadett. Every time that he depressed the Clutch, the Crankshaft Front Pulley would move forwards and back - about 6mm. It was beautiful condition in Maroon, but he got rid of the car for that reason.
Great video Elton, shame that claire isn't there......your a lucky chap......she's lovely 👌👍
She is. Not gonna argue with that.
(She reads the comments)
Actually a red kite loved the video ❤
Thank you. A few people have confirmed it was a kite. I really need to swot up on birds of the British Isles 😂 It was a fascinating encounter, even if I did think our drone was going to cop it.
That Kadett! ❤
Fun vid, I used to clear lock up garages for a rental company, did a lot of this sort of thing 😎
Glad you enjoyed it. As you’ll know, every case is different. This one was fairly straight forward, but seeing cars buried in household clutter is more the norm.
@UKBarnFinds tell me about it, I once had to remove 3ton of porn mags to get a HA viva van out of a lock up ! Furniture I don't mind 👍
I’m sure there’d be a strong market for those 😂
Great video and I'd have to say the Atlantic is the star find there and would be my first choice. I had a 1976 Capri, similar body to those two but with a V6 and it was a pretty good car at the time, about 1980. The Land Rover is nice and I have had a slightly newer Series 3 for the last 34 years which is probably the best of the bunch for where I am in Canada. Cheers!
That’s a long time to own any car, but shows how handy it is to have a Land Rover in your life.
The opel kadett is my favourite car there
You have exceptionally good taste 👍🏻
Good night everyone cool videos of you and your wife saving rare veich
I think the rear window on the Atlantic wound down
It looked like it. I reckon you’re correct.
Opel Kadette is the best one there by far!
Austin A90 Atlantic definitely, very rare now, pretty rare when new.
I remember those Opel Kadett coupes, they looked fabulous, and now I'm wondering if there was a Vauxhall Chevet coupe as well, but I don't think so, however I may be wrong. Great video.
There definitely was not an equivalent chevette coupe. Whilst you can see the resemblance to the Chevette they were actually quite different as were all the opel branded products from this era.The engine was smaller but more powerful than the Chevettes and they had much better suspension so handled much better. I had forgotten all about my old one until I saw this !
@@philiptidmarsh Just as I thought, thank you..👍
Love the Kadett, Jag, Austin and Land Rover. Never been a fan of crapies myself and I'd be surprised they are fixable after crash damage like that. And are they even worth it 🤷♂️
They’ll have some value, for sure, so I’m glad they’re going to market rather than the crusher. Bit beyond my level, though, I have to say, even though I do like Capris.
@@UKBarnFindsTrue, there's a lot of love for old Fords so someone will buy them. And if you've got a jig table they could be straighten out I guess. Will be interesting to see what they all fetch at auction.
I'd go for the A90 Atlantic, they had their downfalls, they didn't succeed in the American market which B.M.C had hoped for
I would like to see the Atlantic restored! Whether the Capris will see the road again, I honestly don't know!
My favourite is the Kadett.
Love the Atlantic, Passed my test 1966 17 years old, My first car was an Austin A70 similar shape, it was very rusty and with a valve radio used to take ages to warm up used to come on half way to work, a ten mile journey, and then the layshaft bearing failed and I drove it for ages with just 4th gear Good old days, next was A40 Devon my favourite ever Also owned A30 van another great car, Love the Series be interesting to see how they sell.
My favourite is the jag I love the face lift ones ❤
Classy motor 👍🏻
Good job it wasn’t copart loading them, been a few more dents, whoever buys those last 3 has got some work to do😱
My choice here is the jag.....but it was a close second with the kadett.
I remember the Atlantic when they came out. Not that popular here nor in the states..But I rated it as a good car
All are very interesting cars . . The capris would be good restos. . Even a restomod . . . . Would love to know about the Atlantic. . Interesting design . . . My pick tho is the Jag even with the rust issues . .
Great video as usuall . . Elton . You may have the knowledge but sorry mate . . Clare has the class . . 💐 . . .
Take care team . . Till the next one . . Bye from NZ 👍💐🏁🇳🇿🍻
I hate it when cars are picked up with forks. However careful you are damage will occur. But each to their own. Nice Austin A90 find.
How would you have moved them? I’ll tell you now, winching would have done a lot of damage to that A90, especially as it only had three wheels. The forks had box extensions on. It was, by far, the best way to move that vehicle, as they went the length of the vehicle and meant there was no flex.
Where’s Claire ?
She was at home for this one, as we had to do it between school runs and it was a bit far. She’ll be in the next video we do, though, fear not 👍🏻
@@UKBarnFinds
😊 she’s a keeper
i agree the kadetts a great car but i do like the older car with the cyclops light which is cool,great episode guys and buy the cyclops car looks interesting lol
It is a strangely cool car 😎
The opel a Brilliant video guys
Thank you.
I pick two. The Atlantic and the Kadett.
Good choices!
Perhaps you should bid on the Kadett Elton, making sure to be wearing a hard hat before telling Claire should you win it. Lol. Flo Capp chasing Andy with her rolling pin, turns into Claire chasing Elton.
Haha! Andy Capp - that’s a blast from the past. I can just see me turning into him 😂
Love the "classic" television, by the way! And what is the music at the beginning?
Arcaders by Ben Elson is the opening track 👍
The buzzard was a Kite
The buzzard was a red kite
Well, you've come across some lovely icons there, mate. Being an Austin bloke too, I did like the idea of the A90, but she's more of a barn find than I would be capable of, I think. Absolutely loved he Kadett and it would be my pick......if the XJS wasn't a manual. So, I'd like the XJS please. Just flick us a message so I know when it's on its way.
It would be a hard pick though - I really do love that Kadett and now I've said XJS, I'm having second thoughts! Thing is that I've always wanted a manual V12 XJS but I've maybe seen two in my long life so far and both of those were after-market retro-fitted. Most of the manuals were mated to the AJ6 (facelifted XJS straight 6 engine), so seeing an original V12 manual is something special. But the Kadett was rebadged here as the Holden Gemini and they rotted out something furious, so very few are left. That one looked a right little peach and again looks a really easy clean-up, like the XJS, although I do think the XJS will need some under floor and sill work. It looks a bit like it was parked on a dirt floor for a number of years.
A bit of info on something you mentioned about the Atlantic. The rear window actually winds down on the hard top version (like the one in the film), so the glass hadn't slipped into a rotted glass channel or anything, just someone left it cracked open to let air in (or similar). The Atlantic does look beautiful if they are in good nick for sure. They weren't exactly quick for the time, nor were they particularly spritely but they could indeed hitch up their skirts if you kept them in the power band. Being a straight six, they bring the power on very smoothly and being about 2.5 ton, they have a LOT of momentum. There was also a convertible (drophead) version of the Atlantic and I guess Austin's thinking was that they would be a superb open road tourer. Of course, when they went to the States, they couldn't compete with the V8-powered vehicles over there in speed, acceleration or price, so they weren't the big hit they were supposed to be and funny enough, most of them were sold in the UK or the Commonwealth countries. If you're definitely interested in seeing one going, Steph Holloway of I Drive A Classic did a review on one a while back (about a year?), so maybe contact her to see if you can go see the one she got to drive. I like the Atlantic and the little touches of opulence it had for the time, but I don't think I'd own one now. I have also heard that a lot of the mechanical parts for the big Austin models (eg: the Westminster, A70 etc) can be interchanged, but don't quote me on that.
All the best - and yes, if you find out their sale prices, please let us know.
Mines the opel kadett 😊
The music is ALSO retro if you think about it! A great example if synthesizer at its best! What us it? Please reply and put me out of my misery!

Can you imagine the Capris as ESTATE CARS?
It's the Landy, for mine...
I'm going for the Opel Kadett...tbh. I forgot they existed, very pretty little car, but for rarity. Austin Atlantic. Even though they were designed for the US market, but they were a flop...
I REMEMBER THE AUSTIN ATLANTIC I THINK IT WAS 110. IN LATE 1950'S THERE WAS ONE A FEW DOORS UP FROM WHERE WE RESIDED.. I NOTICIED IT BECAUSE OF ITS HEADLIGHT IN THE CENTER. MADE FOR THE AMERICAN MARKET BUT SOMEHOW DID NOT SELL THAT WELL.. PREHAPS THE ENGINE WAS TO SMALL. BUT AN ADVENCED DESIGN. SAME HAPPEND WITH THE AUSTIN METROPOLITAN NASH. THE ENGING WAS TO SMALL FOR THE VAST MIALGES USA HAS. A FEW NASHE'S SURVIVE BUT THE ATALNITIC VERY RARE.. THE ATLANTIC IS QUITE A PROJECT BUT WORTH DOING BUT PARTS HARD FOR THE BODY. THE ENGINE AND GERABOX ARE STANDARD SO EASY FOR PARTS
re the Austin, I seem to remember many years ago that I saw one with the reg A1 !!! Can anyone back this up?
It’ll be interesting to find out. That plate is currently on a MINI, but I have a feeling it’s been in more prestigious cars in the past.
the austin and the opel
Can I have the Jaguar please? No need to auction it. And I love the thought of a 'telePORTER' so was disappointed when a teleHANDLER appeared. 😂
A teleporter would make life so much easier. Mind you, Neil would be out of a job 😂
Fantastic video, got to be the Atlantic then the Kadett for me, the Capris are scrap or just a few parts, the big disappointment of the video was...no Claire !!
That were a Kite!
I think you’re right.
@@UKBarnFindsBy the way, my first car on the road was a 1953 Austin A40 Somerset which ended up in a dyke alongside the Royal Military Canal near Rye when the front suspensin collapsed! ~ R
That’s an unfortunate ending. Glad you’re here to tell the tale 😳
I think that was a Red Kite, not a Buzzard !
I think you’re right!
wow its 4 wheel Sir
When you consider how much barns cost these days, the farmer has just made about 10,000 pounds worth of space re-usable. Apart from the engine in that Capri, I don't see any value in those Fords. I hope there will be a follow up video....
Are the bikes and the boat for sale?
No, just the 6 cars.
The Austin was a car the kray twins had
Sorry Elton I am a Claire fan ❤️
You’re forgiven 😂
If I had the space............
Looks like The Professionals have fallen on hard times...

My favourite was the Opal Kadet in Australia it is the Holden Gemini and we got them in the two door and four door also a station wagon but my absolute favourite vehicle that didn't get picked up was the Toyota Hiluxes 4X4 not common in Australia mainly rear wheel drive utes single and double cabs and in Australia they were the last vehicle in Australia to have quarter windows (lights) only on the Australian version and l do own a 1997 Hilux myself and mine in its condition the amount if kilometres is worth aud$5000 to $6000 because it needs a couple of features to be worth that much single cab rear wheel drive aluminium drop side tray manual petrol and air-conditioning mine has all that a d
The Opel Kadett, when I Googled it, appears to have been sold in a lot of countries under many different names. I can’t remember the last time I saw one in the UK, though.
The Toyotas are cool, I agree! Proper no-frills workhorse that people who need a strong and reliable pick-up have as their vehicle of choice all over the planet.
@@UKBarnFinds At time the General Motors owned Isuzu and they sold them under the Holden name in Australia because GM had an interest in Holden and the first Holden Toranas were The Vauxhaul Vivas in the 1970s also for a long time the Isuzu ute became the Holden Rodeo and l owned one for a couple of years but when GM started having financial problems and pulled the plug on Holden no more Holden's built in Australia and GM owned Daewoo and l was happy to find out that daewoo no longer made because they were terribly built cars like most South Korean cars but how Isuzu got started was by building Hilman Minxes in the 1950s to the 1960s but after a while they started building there own car the luxury Bellet also the Holden Gemini was you had the choice of a diesel engine the first diesel car ever sold in Australia l also drove lsuzu trucks for a Courier company l worked for they were very good trucks and some early Isuzu trucks were rebadged as Bedford's

SO IT IS A 90 NOT 110. ARE YOU GOING TO PURCHASE IT. THE BODY SEEMS GOOD. I SUSPECT A B SERIES ENGINE 1600CC? OR PREHAPS EARLY ONES SMALLER. THE ATLANTIC IS QUITE A HEAVY LARGE CAR SO I SUSPECT UNDERPOWERD FOR AMERICAN MARKET. A 6 CYLINDER MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT PREHAPS TO BIG AND FAR MORE COST FOR PRICING. THE B SERIES USED FOR. VANS AND CARS ALSO THE MGB. ENGINES PRODUCED FOR YEARS AND OHV.. I SUPPOSE A BIGGER A SERIES FOR THE MORRIS MINOR +++
The A90 isn’t and never was a quick car by any stretch of the imagination
Too much nattering
