A classic American motorhome from Airstream was recently discovered after being hidden in a barn for over 20 years.
The Airstream 350 LE was built 35-years-ago, but it has spent most of its life hidden away in a barn with less than 20,000 miles on the odometer.
Now, it has been rediscovered in time-capsule-like condition, and it is being put up for sale with the hope that someone will be able to make use of it.
The motorhome was found in Manchester in the UK, and someone could be about to snag a real bargain.

The Airstream 350 LE motorhome was introduced in the early 1980s, forming part of the high-end Class A motorhome lineup.
Airstream produced them from 1982 to 1991, with the 350 LE the company’s push into the premium market.
The ‘350’ in its name stands for its length, 35 feet, while ‘LE’ stands for ‘Luxury Edition.’
Under the hood of the motorhome is a 454 ci Chevrolet V8 engine.
The motorhome also has a General Motors (GM) Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission.
At 102 inches wide, the 350 LE was incredibly spacious, and it came with plenty of mod cons and luxury fittings.
It quickly earned a reputation as one of the best on the market.
Production concluded in 1991, and the 350 LE is now a highly desirable classic motorhome.
This particular Airstream is from 1990, and images show just how well it has been preserved.
Inside, it is in immaculate condition, with all the leather and solid oak in perfect condition.
The driver’s cabin is also immaculate, and the motorhome comes with features such as two air conditioning units.
Images from underneath reveal how little use the Airstream has had and how well it has been looked after.
In total, this pristine vintage Airstream has just 17,000 miles on the odometer.
The cult classic has therefore spent most of its life undercover – and the vast majority of it not on the road.
At the time of writing, there was a week left on its auction with no bids placed.
Someone might be about to bag quite the American motorhome bargain.
