Kayjey Club Member #10 Je suis un Coupé Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 9,729 Zele, Belgium	Isn't it the case of ANY Coupe costing lass than £2000 that you can get more for all the parts than the car as a whole? I am not especially impressed with the condition, comparing what has been sold on here in the past. Is it the fact that it's been sat in a barn that makes it worth more? - Kayjey -

Big_Muzzie Unregistered B	A barn find is a car, let's say e type jag, that's been stuck in a barn for many years and is in need of repairs but is low mileage, low owners and totally original. It's these things that make them special, this is just a car that's been off the road a bit.
