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.
