Thanks for watching. This has been a bit of a mission! There are four parts in this series so far... Part 1 - th-cam.com/video/IXPdSTmgVLg/w-d-xo.html Part 2 - th-cam.com/video/9Hp9KLZvMYg/w-d-xo.html Part 3 - th-cam.com/video/FWzNqo_ZyIk/w-d-xo.html Part 4 - th-cam.com/video/PYGCjMURVc8/w-d-xo.html
Out of all the TH-camrs doing this, you guys are the only ones that are actually saving them, most people just film then walk away. This is more special.
They are definitely worth saving, if only for the parts. Having restored a few cars myself, obtaining a complete donor that’s beyond repair for all the little bits of trim is invaluable. The bits I didn’t use, all ended up with other restorers. And also the scrapman loves me for bringing him very clean stripped out remains. Everbody happy.
I have old video footage of the Skoda taking part in a Production Car Trial in 2001. This explains the Eastern Counties Motor Club decal in the front window.
In the last video I said the mystery car may be a Saab but, and I promise this is true, I later thought it must be an old Skoda but I didn't know which one. I am not sure if it will be of any value to someone but the Skoda lovers will know. The triumph 1300 looks a bit sad but they tended to rot back in the day as did many cars of that era. The ADO16 MG 1100 would be worth saving for parts at the very least, the grill and even the engine. A good one could cost you 10K. I must say hello to Josh, well done for helping Mum And Dad. Elton, Land Rovers are designed to be worked on 'in the bush'. 😁 Thank you Claire and Elton for this interesting video. 👍👍
Great video. Every car there is worth saving, even if the car is too rotten to be restored it can still have vital spares on it for anyone restoring a car.
Hiya Josh,Claire and Elton cool video more great finds in the field of dreams ❤ looking fwd to watching the auction and seeing all the cars that you can save ❤
Thank you Marcia for your lovely comment. We are having so much fun on this one. I don’t want it to end, although when we finished filming we found three more cars! Maybe it will never end 😂 Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
To quote another YT'er. That Suzuki Swift? "Much Spiderage!!!" 😀 The pattern on the Skoda Sunroof is the aerial for the radio! Neat trick! I recognised the Triumph just from the back quarter in the B/W clip! How "Sad ' is that! 😀 Skoda doesn't look too bad. I wonder if anyone from the "Eastern Counties Motor Club" remembers the car!
@@UKBarnFinds I'm editing this one as I go. Ten years ago we were toying with moving to France. I always had the dream of buying a place that accidentally had a barn full of left behind cars
Hi guys I always remember Kirby's in Southend shortly before it closed got I think a Worsley version of the mg in and it had literally rusted into the ground up to about half way up the doors it was the first and last one I have ever seen that far decayed lol . I love seeing what you uncover next keep it up guys it's great watching 👍👍👍
I used to hang around Kirby's when I had my Mk1 Cortina 50 years ago. That was a time when you were allowed to climb all over the stacks of cars to get what you wanted. Probably not allowed in scrap yards today. The good thing was, you could chuck the expensive stuff over the fence and go round and collect it later...
UK Rescue Rangers more like. Lol. Brilliant video again. Well done you two. So many memories, Especially the Skoda jokes. Looking forward to the next video. Ps, like Claire I do have a soft spot for the Bambino.
But also some nice classics hidden and reclaimed by mother nature.... eventually there'd be just the glass laid upon a the remnants of some tasty classics
Great vid as usual . . Did i see right . In the hedge behind the skoda yet anothor one hiding . . Youve got half a years vids from the one site 🤣. . . Take care team . Bye from NZ 💐🍻👍🇳🇿twa
The angled position of the heater valve on the cylinder head of the the 'MG 1100' @25:39 suggests to me that it's actually a 1300 engine of some description.
Hiya Elton and Claire, I wish you sell merchandise, I would definitely buy a UK BARN FINDS hoody off you, keep up the good work, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
Hi Josh enjoying yourself with mum and dad Elton you seem to be finding more cars every week i realise you had a skoda and the 1300 by the shape of the rear ends i had a 1300 that was recovered from a beach the gearbox was running on sea water
There is a massive hedge in the back of my father’s property that I keep hoping is hiding a shed with a forgotten classic car… still working up the courage to go in there.
The cats maybe themselves scrap but there's still valuable parts on that can be salvaged. Like windscreens, door handles and light clusters.😊 love your channel by the way😊
Sudden "Random Thought": It will be "Full Circle" for the Skoda. It's first landing in the UK would have been Skoda's preparation centre at Kings Lynn where the radio cassette , sunroof and alloy wheels were fitted.
There's something on every car, that can make at least one other car go back on the road, so yes, they are all worth saving, it could just take forever to find that one person who needs the part, so if the value is measured in money, no, none of them is worth saving, but in anything else, yes they are all worth saving.
The Triumph 1300 has a starter motor mounted on the other side of the flywheel. Subsequently it turns in the opposite direction to most cars. I fitted one to my cortina and spent a couple of days trying to work out why it wouldn’t start. Turning my engine backwards did it no good at all😳
I remember a few years ago the DVLA advert saying they know where the untaxed car is & they will take it away, I'd love them to find those hidden in the brambles lol
I think you've done a great job digging them out and clearing the area - but honestly, no, I don't think any will see the road again. Great for parts to help others live on 👍
I think of all the ones so far, the little Fiat has the best chance, if it could find someone dead keen on them and skilled enough to do the work themselves.
Great video Elton & Claire. I'm fascinated as to the story behind these cars. How have been standing in that field? When did they make their last journey and why? Did the owners know how long they'd be sitting there to be consumed by nature? Have a great weekend!
Hi, they are a mixture of ‘only worth scrap money when parked up’ and ones that appear to have been used for motorsport. The owner had some land and parked them, rather than scrapped them. A fellow ‘car romantic’ who wanted them all to be saved, I guess. It would be so rewarding if any of these saw the road again.
Hi there the Skoda 130 GL will be going to auction, not sure if it will make this upcoming sale at ACA or the next one. Do keep an eye on their website 😃
Where is this place I would be in heaven because every car there I have at one time work on in the day when I was on the tool's talk about a walk down memory Lane heaven .
it's not a regular fiat 126, it's a 126 BIS!!!, it's quite rare. the difference is mainly that it has a rear wheel. I once dreamed of such a car, and even now such a car would be enough for me if it were in good condition
Thanks Jon, hope all is very well with you 😃 Two main factors in that decision, storage space for the cars (lack of) and we don’t have the time to individually deal with potential buyers 👍 - Claire
Our first car was a Y reg Fiat 126. Made in Poland our second was a Skoda 120 B reg. Both utterly useless pieces of junk. Totally rubbish. So many problems I don't know where to start. Curiously, the Skoda was, for some reason really easy to park, apart from that utter disaster. Every fluid, petrol to brake leaked. I did wonder if Skoda has spent a little more on better parts, rust proofing etc, etc, etc, it could have been a great little car.
Wow I would like to know the story behind all this find. Surely some of these are beyond saving. Elton, you're saying Claire would give out to you, surely not😁😄. Anyway that's serious dedication from you 2 (3 ☺) ...well done, hard graft.
Good night Claira and elton and Jose I hope you are all well and enjoying your adventures finding old cars hidden in the headges I uzrd to own a skoda with a vinal roof and allo wheels it was fun to drive I think you are all amazing what you all do for us on your you tube channel please keep safe and warm please keep your videos going on your you tube channel I love watching your videos of you and your adventures founding oid barn finds and old cars an vans
I wish I had stuck to my first thoughts. I recognised the wheel. My dad had one. I practiced driving in it before my test. I remember trying to turn the passengers sun visor, only to find out the hard way that, they don’t turn. Much to my dad’s disappointment it snapped off in my hand. D’oh. Thank goodness VW brought Skoda. My Octativa was far superior.
Well done on removing all the vegetation. It looked really hard work. It was interesting and intriguing and made me wonder why these cars had been abandoned. Its good to think some might see the road again or even supply spare parts for other restoration projects.
Basically, the cars were worth very little when parked up and, ordinarily, would have gone to scrap. Having a bit of land, the owner just kept them instead. We’re so glad that decision was made, as even the parts may live on now.
The ultimate in manscaping and mansplaining lol. Ragtops here in the states are always a nightmare due to rust under the vinyl roof tops. You've looked to your left, right, straight ahead, I think if you looked up in the air you might find a car in the sky with this field find. Do you earn combat pay with fighting those nettles m8? Because I always warn my American family to avoid them whenever we visit the British Isles. The cars that you folks find are more than the sum values in cost, as their moments in time, reveal long past emotional memories of my childhood living in the 60's and 70's High Wycombe England and Ireland as well for a longing of those days of lore. TY. Yes they are worth saving as the old adage here in the states recalls " There always an ass for every seat" purports too.
The 126 i was saving hard as an apprentice plumber in 1975 age 19 the car new was 750 but decided to put adeposit on a new house with the money , it cost 10k and 4 year later i sold the house for 20k , made for life ,but still love that little car

Another awesome video guys!! Unbelievable the amount of vehicles left there, don't leave any behind!! 👍
Hi Josh well Done helping Mum and dad love the video guys
Thank you. We got him to read that out. Made his day 😊
I watched Yorkshire car restoration , all things possible with time and effort , first time watching , but will continue to watch , what an adventure
Great video. Every car there is worth saving, even if the car is too rotten to be restored it can still have vital spares on it for anyone restoring a car.
Gardening and barn finds all in one! Perfect!👍

Joshua, well done! Great debut on TH-cam and honest too.
He just told us this video will probably go viral now, because he's in it 😂😂
Great episode.love the cars.maybe the MG 1100 is too far gone but plenty of others worth saving!!
The next gen barn finds team is on the case.
Truly amazing to see more and more cars emerging from the thorns of doom. 😊👍
Looks like a few more days work there Elton
Think the Landy definitely needs to come out
Good luck

You have excellent taste Philip 😉 So glad you enjoyed the video 👍
S.O.S good to save ! There is someone on TH-cam finding gems and simply walking away, but not you ! Thanks.
There is a big following for those Skodas, have their own FB page
Be good to see that series 2 Land Rover rescued, could be ex MOD going by the light rings.
i guess its all worth saving if only for the parts!
But also some nice classics hidden and reclaimed by mother nature.... eventually there'd be just the glass laid upon a the remnants of some tasty classics
You can not leave there until you find that Cooper S in the undergrowth.
We’ll keep our eyes peeled 😉 although we discovered three more cars after filming! It’s the field that keeps on giving 😂
Skoda was actually quite clever with these- notice the split in the grill and bumper cover. You could replace part of these in case of damage.
5:09 I knew it's Skoda, well done guys
Great vid as usual . .
Did i see right . In the hedge behind the skoda yet anothor one hiding . .
Youve got half a years vids from the one site 🤣. . .
Take care team .
Bye from NZ 💐🍻👍🇳🇿twa
Hi guys love the nostalgia when is the auction ❤
I'd love to see the rover 2600 coming out. Great series this!
That will be uncovered at some point soon.
Get the shovel out for the mg n send it down anglia the tags n plates will take it to at least £500 👍✌️

Cracking video again Guys. 👍
Thank you 🙏
Enjoying the video's. A tip, would it be better to use a brush cutter blade on the strimmer.
the MG would be a great parts donor. I love the ADO16
The cats maybe themselves scrap but there's still valuable parts on that can be salvaged. Like windscreens, door handles and light clusters.😊 love your channel by the way😊
Cars even. Flipping phone lol 😅
Series 1 at the end , right ??
Claire if you want to see a few cars rescued from the undergrowth. Have a look for Cortina City Swampy and Bramble. you will certainly approve.
Awesome will do Simone 👍 x
Sudden "Random Thought": It will be "Full Circle" for the Skoda. It's first landing in the UK would have been Skoda's preparation centre at Kings Lynn where the radio cassette , sunroof and alloy wheels were fitted.
That’s right, how cool is that ❤️
Oh! It's a skoda estelle! I was half right in last vid, i thought it was a favorit!
You guessed better than us! 😃
@@UKBarnFinds do i get half a point still?
Absolutely 👍 if we ever cross paths in real life we’ll buy you a pint 🍺
There's something on every car, that can make at least one other car go back on the road, so yes, they are all worth saving, it could just take forever to find that one person who needs the part, so if the value is measured in money, no, none of them is worth saving, but in anything else, yes they are all worth saving.
Skoda 120 i knew as soon as I saw the front alloy. May be low in BHP but fun to drive. I have a 126p in Pink Panther violet, not easy to drive at all.
The 3-door liquid-cooled Fiat 126 is a rarity
The Triumph 1300 has a starter motor mounted on the other side of the flywheel. Subsequently it turns in the opposite direction to most cars.
I fitted one to my cortina and spent a couple of days trying to work out why it wouldn’t start.

7:51 The worst thing is that behind that Skoda there is an unknown green one lol
This is. Ow my biggest fear 😂 ~ Elton

But wait. There’s MORE! 😱
Hi Claire and Elton I hope you are both ok will good to see you back ok well guys
We’re all well, thank you, and hope you are, too. We’ll be back with videos soon.
Maybe your strimmer would be better of with one of those blades that look like circular saw blades
There wasn't a motorway long enough for it to make 60 mph was there it had rear heated window to keep ya hands warm when pushing them but great video
Great video Elton & Claire.
I'm fascinated as to the story behind these cars.
How have been standing in that field?
When did they make their last journey and why?
Did the owners know how long they'd be sitting there to be consumed by nature?
Have a great weekend!

Thanks! Look forward to all your videos.
A molching blade would be best for that kind of work
The front seats are from the 130 Rapid.
And just sneak a Land Rover Series 1 in at the end! That has to be the diamond in the rough?
I'm sure I spotted a Renault 4 in the field!
You did. We showed it in the first video about these cars 😀
th-cam.com/video/IXPdSTmgVLg/w-d-xo.html
Amazing video, any ideas when / if the skoda 130 is heading to auction?
Bought a 105s from Anglia Car Auctions a few years back.
Hi there the Skoda 130 GL will be going to auction, not sure if it will make this upcoming sale at ACA or the next one. Do keep an eye on their website 😃
Where is this place I would be in heaven because every car there I have at one time work on in the day when I was on the tool's talk about a walk down memory Lane heaven .
Have you come across a Ford Transit MK3 as I'm looking for steering column for my old girl classic? I wonder who put them there? 🤔 🚙
Hi mate
Bit of a bugger some of the windows were down
westport wa.state here. going to give your show a watch if you don;t mind.
that is one ugly cute little white car.
Skoda
Surely the Mini was leylands first front wheel drive car, not the Triumph 1300??
Leyland wasn’t part of BMC back then.
it's not a regular fiat 126, it's a 126 BIS!!!, it's quite rare.
the difference is mainly that it has a rear wheel.
I once dreamed of such a car, and even now such a car would be enough for me if it were in good condition
I would like to see the beautiful fiat 126 back in the road again
Me too Kevin! Thank you so much for watching and commenting; much appreciated- Claire
I think I saw another vehicle inside there
Another great episode in this mini-series but why not just try selling them on ebay or something instead of involving auction bandits?
Thanks Jon, hope all is very well with you 😃 Two main factors in that decision, storage space for the cars (lack of) and we don’t have the time to individually deal with potential buyers 👍 - Claire
@@UKBarnFinds Ah yes, thanks Claire, good point(s).
A soda estelle
Is it a cavalier
A weeds find
Our first car was a Y reg Fiat 126. Made in Poland our second was a Skoda 120 B reg.
Both utterly useless pieces of junk. Totally rubbish. So many problems I don't know where to start. Curiously, the Skoda was, for some reason really easy to park, apart from that utter disaster. Every fluid, petrol to brake leaked. I did wonder if Skoda has spent a little more on better parts, rust proofing etc, etc, etc, it could have been a great little car.
Why is every car suddenly a 'CLASSIC',very strange,not all cars become classics.
hi. can you send me the numbers as souvenirs from the car-TRT405F? am I writing to you from Ukraine?
They are all a bit too far gone sadly, Maybe the MG's might save because part are readily available.
Na easy fix
being from u s a most of these car are foreign to me me. get it foreign. foreign country.
o k dumb joke. learning a lot.

Had a Scirocco GTI back in the 80s. Lovely car till I rubbed it up against a lamp-post!
Car - 0, Lamp-post-1.
Be good to get this fast car restored.
The 126 i was saving hard as an apprentice plumber in 1975 age 19 the car new was 750 but decided to put adeposit on a new house with the money , it cost 10k and 4 year later i sold the house for 20k , made for life ,but still love that little car
swift is just awfull.., i like never ones. i dont like 126, but schirocco is nice..
I'd be cautious doing that in Australia, some pretty nasty snakes. Taipan, Dugite and Tiger just to name a few .With many more to wet your pants.
@Mickhanic-garage is the boy for the Estelle, if anyone could save it..!
They would all make good donor cars if nothing else.
