From The Late Brake Show.

Saving a Forgotten Barn Find Ford After 45 Years Off the Road – Will it Run? In this special barnfind episode Jonny Smith shares a car that has been in the same family since it was 18 months old. Owned by a friend and ex work colleague’s family, this classic fast Ford sadly came off the road as he was born. That was 1981. It’s not been used since, although spent much of that time in a dry garage. Sadly the very original car (which was used both daily and for weekend rally events) was moved outside around 2018.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
