About Barn Find Footage
Barn find footage documents one of the most thrilling experiences in the car world — the discovery of a forgotten vehicle hidden away in a garage, barn, or warehouse, sometimes for decades. These clips capture the dust, the patina, the moment of recognition when someone realises what they've found, and the agonising question of whether to restore or preserve. Some of the most valuable cars in existence were barn finds, and these videos tell their stories from the moment of discovery.
About Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (W 196 S) is a two-seat sports racing car that took part in the 1955 World Sportscar Championship before a catastrophic crash and fire at Le Mans later that year ended its domination prematurely. The car was designated "SL-R", which was later condensed to "SLR". Technically, the W 196 S is based on the W 196 R, but has a slightly different engine, displacing 3 litres.
