Will It Drive After 52 Years? UK Barn Find Austin A30

Follow
UK Barn Finds

Can we get a real barn find car to drive...and stop? That's a question we asked ourselves. After 52 years in a Norfolk barn, this little 1954 Austin A30 was pretty seized, as you may have seen in our previous videos.

In this video, we attempt to free off the clutch to see if the gears will work and a basic rebuild of the front brakes, just in case....

Of course, nothing is simple on any car, let alone one that hasn't moved for decades, and this stage of the jouney sees us tackling components that really should be replaced. But where's the fun in that?

The whole idea of this series is to see how far we can get with little PPW with as many of the original parts as possible and, maybe, have some fun along the way.

Will Claire finally get to drive this little car around the farm? Watch and find out!

We mention @MetamorphicWondersin this episode we don't know them personally, but their channel has been a great source of inspiration and help, as they are restoring an Austin A30 for the road. Please give them a look.

We also mention our Amazon affiliate shop, where we've highlighted some of the products we've used in our videos. If you buy anything there, we may receive a small commission:
