‘UK barn find of the decade’ saw a number of rare AC cars see daylight after 50 years

Considered by many car enthusiasts to be the ‘UK Barn Find Of The Decade’, these rare AC cars saw daylight for the first time in nearly 50 years.

It might only be a two-car garage, but the number of valuable cars inside is unbelievable.

They’re so tightly packed, it’s an ‘intricate’ process to get them out.

How did they get there? How long have they been gathering dust? Just how much money will they make at auction? – So many questions.

The immense barn find

The unassuming two-car garage in a garden is a veritable treasure trove with AC cars stacked high – much like this futuristic robot car park (however, those who watched the footage noticed one major flaw).

So packed in fact that the ‘extraction’ is proving tricky due to their placement, condition, and decades of neglect.

The UK Barn Finds team is immediately awe-struck by the rarity and condition of the vehicles – some of which have been stored for half a century.

The rare AC cars

The cars packed in there in layers include a Bristol-engine AC Ace, three Jaguar E-Type Series II, and several other vintage vehicles.

The team carefully lifts the cars, starting with a Series 1 Land Rover and an E-Type Jaguar, using specialized equipment, navigating narrow spaces, and dealing with rusted and broken parts.

It’s a complex and delicate work process that continues with the rare AC Ace and some other unusual vintage vehicles.
