bad news for the end of 2010 for my mate.
my mate has a barn used to house some of his cars and many spare parts.
yesterday tea time the joining barn went up in flames taking his with it
he and his bro have lost :
2 x mk1 escorts
1 x mk2 escort
1 x genuine un used mk1 chassis floor pan/inner wings
1 x drop top morris minor
1 x 68 camaro ss
1 x 60's chevy stepside truck
and many spare parts it got that hot it melted alloy wheels to liquid and left pools of alloy on the floor.
BAD NEWS not nice to see today as a ford lover and nothing salvagable

 

what a shame , they must be gutted

 

Not a nice end to 2010 at all

 

how did the fire start?
any pics?

insurance covered?

im gutted for the owners...

 

thats gutting news

 

gutted

 

Gutted for him...

 

Fuck I thought my year was bad.I'm assuming no-one got hurt mate?

Big shame about the motors.

 

dont want to put any pics up for my mates sake.
we think it started with the guy next door welding he burnt all his hands and arms and is in hospital so we dont know everything yet.
insurance is not looking good sounds like the farmer who owns the farm has insurance for the buildings but not for vehicles in them ????

 

Hope he's insured !

Wonder if the fire starter tried to get in to your mates unit to save his stuff or if he couldn't get in or what.

 

thats shit news what a waste of classic cars

 

thats not good news. lot of money to lose for sure if they dont get nothing back from the insurance

 

that's gutting

 

thats shit news. wouldnt wish that on anyones cars

 

what a horrible end to the year i would be gutted to lose a collection like that

 

gutted for him mate

 

Oh no, thats shocking Hopefully he's fully insured?

 

That's really sickening mate and a big shame. To be honest i would have thought it's up to your mate to arrange the contents insurance for the barn that he is using.
I used to live in a rented house and the landlord sorted out the buildings insurance but we had to have our own contents insurance - not sure if it's the same for outbuildings/barns though. Even if he is insured I doubt if the insurance company will pay out a realistic value for the vehicles lost.

 

I'm gutted hope insurance pay out. It's Such a shame.

 

As above the owner will have building insurance, that covers damage to building not the contents on the inside so hopefully your mate has his own insurance.

 

now thats crap end to the year

 

What a bummer

 

Massive shame that, hope the injured bloke recovers.

 

Shit news'crappy end to a crappy year..........

 

id be so fucking gutted even if i lost my FRST let alone some mk1 and mk2's plus more


sorry to hear about this

 

Shit not good, hope something gets sorted money wise, still a shame tho

 

Feel very sorry for the guys Fire is the worst thing, at least when you crash (even quite badly) there's normally salvagable parts. The Camaro would have been worth lots even if it was a rough one.

 

Thats gutting and a large chunk of cash to lose if he isnt insured.

 

bloody hell thats gutting

 

Thats just about the worst thing you can imagaine happening.

I firstly hope the insurance pay out and secondly they get a fair amount.

 

Gutting

 

poor fellas thats shit that is

 

That's proper shitty

 

Bloody hell im gutted for him.

 

Same thing happened in Cumbria a couple of months ago

Restored escort mk3 1600i
