It was in a lockup garage, lockup find doesn't sound as good. I've started taking some pics as I go and put them up Here

Looks like a lot of work but I'm sure it will be worth it
Good Luck

That has to be worth saving.. Doesn't look too bad on the face of it.. Be really great to see that one back on the road. More pics as it goes !

Looks cosmetic to me apart from the dry rot!
Good luck

Good luck with the re-commission, and hope there are no hidden nasties.
However, please don't use the term 'barn find' as it's one of the most overused expressions in the trading of cars at the moment.

That must qualify as a Barn find - Its great digging something out that has been hibernating. I just acquired a 1977 BMW r75/7 that had been in a barn for 27 years and had it running sweetly the next day!
Hope you have as much fun as I have in getting the plus 8 going.

Thanks for the photographs she looks good and the best colour of course.
Garage find doesn't quite have that secondhand car dealer ring to it but very realistic these days, good luck with nailing her back together I'd say you got a good one there.

Now thats looks like it will be a good project to keep a man in the shed on a long winters night. Good find.
