While some of the stories actually are about cars found in barns or sheds, author Wyss has taken the liberty of expanding the definition of "barn find" to include any collector car found derelict, ignored, in pieces, or generally found in circumstances belying its stature. This could include cars parked in fields, found in cellars, left in parking garages, or even found under a pile of cars in a junkyard. What the cars do have in common is that they are valuable and exotic and have histories chock full of unimaginable twists and turns. Take, for instance the Two Rotor Corvette, a car that cost GM $2 million to build and then they flat gave it away to the first guy that asked. Same thing for a GT40 roadster, one of four built, and Ford goes and hands the keys to a movie car customizer who kept it for decades and never quite got it up on the big screen. That car today is worth $4 million. So, if you're into collector cars and love the thrill of the hunt, then you'll truly appreciate the 50 stories Wyss has selected for this first in the series. So what makes his barn book different...aside from his unique style that when diligently edited often provides delightful reading? Wyss chooses to separate the boys from the men in terms of interesting finds and ups the ante quite well, deciding to concentrate on dream cars or ultra-rare race cars, rather than the wider scope of other books. In this reviewer's opinion, his many years of doing books and articles... just came together into one easy-to-read and interesting book. Wyss writes fast but has done a credible job in doing his homework and listing sources. Pete Vack, VeloceToday.com THERE is no shortage of books about barn finds. Nontheless, this is an enjoyably pacey read from a trustworthy author. That said, strictly speaking not every car mentioned in this 271-page softback was discovered hiding in a barn. Or even a scrapyard. But for the less pedantic reader, there is much to like here. As the blurb on the back cover points out, this is meant to be a series of interesting and entertaining stories behind 50 road and racing cars of historical significance, outlining the often fascinating lives they led. Richard Heseltine, OCTANE Magazine "It's a recurring dream, ...surely for even the most casual of petrolheads.You open the shed door and find cobweb laced traces of a Bugatti chassis rail, or perhaps the remains of an Auburn Speedster. Usually, though there is nothing more enticing than an old Quality Street tin full of rusty nails.Wyss' book recounts 50 instances of rather greater fullfilment,covering a range of cars from the long forgtten GM Two Rotor to a 1969Corvette. It's an easy read, ripe with taies of subterfuge, and the shortchapters are delivered in a breezy style." - MOTORSPORT 3/14 Wallace A.
