Barn find classics spotted in California.
There seem to be lots of programmes on channels such as Discovery that feature old cars stored out in the California and Nevada deserts that need restoration. Drive Cult reader Roy Watts sent us some pictures of a number of American and British classics stored on a ranch, all of which need work but look to be basically sound as the dry air largely keeps the rust at bay.
With the classic car world's obsession with barn finds at the moment, don't be surprised to see at least one of these back on the road some day.
Rare Jaguar Mk1 3.4
Car is externally complete (grille is in the boot apparently)
1968 Buick LeSabre Coupé
Desert heat has kept rust to mere surface corrosion
Interior needs total restoration though
As does the engine bay
