Also on the same trip was these two very original GMC's. Not a barn find, but a Hayshed Find? Same thing but with more straw....
Raining heaps, and running late, so did not get out for a good look, however, they have not run for the last 10/15 years, owner has had them for some time, and will hang on to them for the forseeable future.
Really amazes me what is out there where you least expect it, also on farm was a pristine E-Type which is still driven with delight. Second owner (who has had it for42 years). Sorry to say that I was running late because the Jag was way more interesting than the GMC's.
Lots of Photo's of that....

Default Wow

Good to see the GMCs are at least as loved as the hay... what stunning time capsules they are!

Of course the E-type could be painted an appropriate shade of green to come to the Year of the Oil Leak.

Default Gmc`s

If you look carefully at the front of the GMC`s there are Dutch army Indicators on the grill and side lights and reflectors under the mudguard`s
So somebody did some effort to get them transported from far away.

Thanks Maurice,
did not know about the lighting differences. easily visible on my high res pic, even without the glasses....

Hi Keith, would have painted the jag "envy" green if I was allowed, would have been a perfect match for me.
Rich.
