[MarcB]

Has anyone been following this Instagram page with the resto of the Clio Williams ?

looks like it’s been sat in a garage, unit or barn for many years.

Wasn't expecting it to be that clean under all that dirt!

‘Dirt’

I’m always very suspicious of these ‘barn’ finds. I recently cleaned up a car that was sat for a few months and it was an utter ballache to clean. Nowhere near as straight forward as that looks

Looks like a fake barn find to me, the dirt is too uniform, where are the cobwebs and other usual s**t you get on a car that's been left for ages.

Looks to me like it's been made dirty, to then be cleaned and then claimed as a barn find, which if true is pathetic.

Yeah, that’s no barn find! It’s just been splattered in mud a week ago then power washed 😂😂

I rented space in a barn with a floor of bone dry compacted scalpings or whatever it's called. You could put a car in there and within a few weeks it would look like that due to the dust being carried in the wind through the hit and miss cladding.

Found a photo of a car that I’d cleaned ready for sale and this was after a few days!

Wouldn’t say it’s been just splattered.
it’s clearly thick dust and not “Mud”

Granted it could have been laying for 6weeks, 6 months or 16 years but none the less from what I have seen it’s still going to be a full rebuild / restore.

My trophy is in the garage and has moved once for its MOT and it’s got a layer of dust on it.

I keep looking for an E28 BMW and saw this listing at the weekend. More of a garage find than a barn find

See it all the time with companies that sell stuff to clean or protect footwear.

They do a demo vid showing them turning some muddy trainers into spanking clean, but it's always fresh few hours old mud, never the kind of general dirt and grease that builds up from normal wear, so it's irrelevant.

The fact that this is basically advertising for a detailing company makes me think it's exactly the same thing.

that fake, just covered it in a load of dust and jetwashed it off, its prisitine underneath without even trying.

My mk1 has been sat for a year in a barn/shed, I wish it looked as clean as that car in the before photos.
