Barn finds in demand at Barons auction

Published 21 June 2017

Barn finds were the big winners at Barons’ British Heritage, Classic and Sports Cars sale.

Bidders competed over the 1971 Bristol 411 S2, the 1954 Jaguar XK140, and the 1981 Morgan 4/4. This tempting trio of restorations all exceeded their guide prices, selling for £28,600, £16,775 and £11,600 respectively on 13 June at Sandown Park.

At the other end of the condition scale, immaculate British classics also proved popular, with a 1924 Riley 11/40 Sports Tourer, a 1973 Jaguar E-type V12, and a 1982 Austin Morris Mini HL Clubman all going to new homes, selling for £28,500, £36,300 and £11,000.
