Great that stuff is out there still and turns up every so often .A few years ago I thought that at some point all the barn /shed finds would dry up but I was definitely wrong . I was offered a really rough incomplete Allard M- type for £2000 about 5 years ago and happily walked away and do not regret it as in the process i bought a load of motorbikes and spares from the owner . I love the whole thrill of the chase of buying old cars and motorbikes especially ones that I have not been advertised and I have discovered through word of mouth or a chance conversation with a complete stranger .
