UK "barn find" collection

Super cool and sad at the same time. Hopefully enough dust to help with paint etching. Landy's make appearance at the end.

The 1973 911 @ 15,000 pounds or about $21k would be a steal. Decent air cooled 911s are over $100k here in US. Wonder if it is RHD or LHD?

While I'm sure there is a '73 in the collection, that bumper, those taillights, and the grill/spoiler that raises at speed are not 1973. Looks like a convertible, too. Also not 1973.

A LOT of long hood era porsches got updated to look like newer porsches. I assume that is what befell that poor 73. And a targa becomes a cab with a little chopping.

Good eye on the details for this one.

Slope of the fenders doesn't look right. And a '73 with a 2.7 liter engine would be a Carrera. Few people would be foolish enough to "update" one of those. My guess is a '93 would be nearer the mark for that one, but I'd have to see more photos. I think what happened is there is both a '73 and a '93 or so in the mix, and the caption writer couldn't be bothered to tell the difference.

Make no mistake, this one is exactly what it appears to be. The proof is right there on the ground.
