Oops!…We Did It Again! We just can't help rehoming these fantastic old British cars and this Austin A30 is a true time warp barn find survivor.
In previous videos, we've mentioned that we buy barn find cars, as well as more 'standard' classic cars, and it seems that people do listen.
We were contacted by the owner of this car, who'd seen our previous Austin A30 videos, and asked if we'd be interested in another. Does a one-legged duck swim in circles? Of course we'd love another Baby Austin! The only trouble was, the seller was going away for a holiday, we had a few other commitments (okay, a school nativity!), and there was a very small window of opportunity to collect this car before the end of 2023. In fact, it boiled down to one afternoon....
Being so close to Christmas, you'd think that the classic car transportation industry would be quiet, but it was far from it. Our usual go-to guy, Neil, was flat out and, despite trying to juggle things around for us, it just wasn't going to happen. So, more in hope than expectation, we put out a plea on our local car club Facebook page, East Coast Retros, and got lucky. Joe Green, who was recommended by many members, had a job in the morning, but reckoned he could make the trip from Suffolk to Surrey in time. A price was agreed, phone numbers and details swapped, and we agreed to meet at 2:30pm.
So, here she is, and we hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed rescuing the car. It was all a bit manic, which seems crazy when a car has been hidden away for so many decades, but this is often the way it turns out!

MASSIVE thanks to Joe Green Transportation & Recovery for stepping in at such short notice. Be sure to give Joe a follow on Facebook - profile.php?...
Thanks, also, to LeRoy for giving us the opportunity to acquire BPC 10 and for letting us film the extraction. This car already has a fascinating history and this video will add to that.
