Got any pictures? It was on the driveway of a house near me about a year ago, a for sale board appeared in the front garden so I thought I'd best get a snap before it disappeared. Gone now, no idea where to.
I have PM'd you the article I wrote in 2020....

Damn, I wish I'd gone and knocked on the door now instead of taking the picture and sauntering off.

Typo...(I'm sure I did put it correctly). I meant 2010. July to be precise although it didn't appear in the mag for a couple of months.

I've been going through some old pictures this evening & found this actual barn find from a couple of years ago:

I didn't ask the owners of the barn about it, I was busy trying to dry out a sodden marquee. But I did have a poke around it, I reckon it'd be a brave restoration.

Before you ask, I don't know what was under the tarp next to it, I only remember that it wasn't interesting (to me).
On the road:
1998 Disco 4.0 V8 (manual)
1994 Vauxhall Calibra 3.0 V6

Running but need fettling:

1986 Honda CBX750F
1991 Maserati 222 SE
1990 Yamaha XJ900F

Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!

1982 Suzuki GSX1100SZ Katana

Interestingly that Manta comes up as being black! No tax history since 1988 either so presumably quite a low miler.
