It appears that everyone and their uncle are agreeing that this barn find, found in Swansea, England, is one of the best finds ever. While I'm more of a Boss '9 in Kentucky kind of guy, I'll agree that these low mileage rides are indeed quite cool.

Barnyard Collection of Two New BMW M3 E30s, a Mercedes 190E EVO II and a Ford RS200 Group B!
It appears that everyone and their uncle are agreeing that this barn find, found in Swansea, England, is one of the best finds ever. While I'm more of a Boss '9 in Kentucky kind of guy, I'll agree that these low mileage rides are indeed quite cool.
In order of built-for-homologation badness, there's 1) a white 350+ horsepower AWD Ford RS200 road-going Group B rally car with 1,042 miles, 2) two first-gen E30 M3s - which, normally, would put out 195 horsepower - in red with 37 and 57 miles on them, and 3) a blue 232 horsepower Mercedes 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II.
Both red racers and the Benz were built so BMW and Mercedes could compete in Group A Touring, while the RS200 was made street-able so Ford could put people into the rally ring during the hairy-chested Group B years.
