Barn Find Survivor Porsche 911 discovery - Real Life Forza. Jonny Smith wears his sacred BFF (Barn Find Fleece) and heads to picturesque mid Wales to open a garage containing not one but two 1970s sports cars; a 1978 Porsche 911 SC and a 1974 Triumph TR6 roadster.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
As is always with the barnfind garage discoveries, the backstory to the cars is just as interesting. Helen Corbett's late husband was a huge classic car nut, and was saving the TR6 as a retirement project. Sadly his life was cut short and he passed away two years ago. Helen's father in law (Kevin's father) previously owned the 911 since it was only about 5 years old, and he passed it on to Kevin and Helen when he died in 20 years ago. The Porsche hasn't been used much since, due to the aforementioned health complications.

No dispersion's to young James but I was screaming at the screen the final time to tried to start her " just feather the accelerate" and "give it some son" as his right foot wasn't making contact with the go-faster peddle when he was turning the car over. I reckon it'll start in it's current state! As usual, fantastic work Jonny

Nice Porker. I'd ask someone who knows 911s about the oil. Those dry sump units have to be checked when running otherwise you'll over fill the engine and boomski. I know because I done this myself when I was an apprentice. Chances are you'll need to drain the system to see how much was already in the engine before you topped it up.

@schrodingerscat8621 Жыл бұрын

No! It’s a dry sump oil system. Not only does it need to be running, but it needs to get up to temperature because the oil thermostat needs to open. If you’re going to put that much oil in it, you need to drain the old oil crank case and oil reservoir to the right of the engine, add 10 quarts, and then add as needed once up to temperature😳 A clue to you getting spark is the rev counter going up when you’re cranking. If it stayed on zero, there might be an ignition problem. That’s for the future.

Such a heart warming barn find! There's so much I can relate to Helen and her family, coming from near Bham, part moving to mid/north Wales in the late 80s when I was very young with my parents. Sadly, my father passed suddenly having just celebrated his 50th in 1989, leaving my dear mum to balance both lives we had in the Midlands and Wales, the latter being a slate miners cottage in the mountains which took a serious amount of work. As a 9 year old, I really had to grow up quick to support her. I do sorely miss all the good years and memories that were taken away from us. My dad and his family were huge car fanatics too. I lost that mentor and personality that could have guided me in life. One can never be bitter about a bad situation though, life is hard and you have to make best with what you have. Helen, if you do happen to read this, please, please hold on to that car dearly. Get it running, fix it's faults and drive it when you want to be close to your husband - his soul is always with you. My dad has been by my side for 34 years now even though I barely remember him - but I do always wish I had one of his cars to keep running, it would feel like I was keeping him alive somehow. Bless you and your life to come Xx

Washing the Porsche by hand so the owner can see it in all its glory, fabulous, emotional. this is excellent stuff, so happy I found the channel. The people are just as important as the cars and the stories they tell, so neat. Thank you.

That was wonderful, it touched my heart when Helen was looking up to the sky and hoping it to start. I really wish she doesn't sell it. And really keeps it and restores it. I'm from Coventry my self and can confirm I wasn't the pimp 🤣

I just absolutely love this show...thank you for creating this format even though you have done things like fifth gear. Kudos on keeping it fresh without too much...everything around it. Overkill is overrated. Yes it is his job, but you can genuinely see that he loves cars and specially cares about the story and the connections of the car. And that`s one of my favorite things on this show. Keep it up.

Heartwarming to see how Helen reacted when the car almost started. Brilliant as ever Jonny. Greetings from the Netherlands PS: Emelia Hartford just posted a video of a Shelby Daytona 64 'barnfind'! ;) 0:10

What an absolutely lovely woman. I'm a West Australian but got to spend some time living in rural Wales near the Brecon Beacons and I loved everyone I got to meet there.

One of the best you've done - shame you came so close to getting it started. Lovely and brave lady allowing us all into her life for a day but looks like she got very excited :)

Brilliantly done Jonny. Thanks for such an amazing film. Just shows cars do touch people’s lives and are very important in family history, memories and are comforting when people leave us. Jonny on a side note what’s the music playing when your freeing the brakes off?
