The Barn is home to an eclectic group of old and interesting cars.

We welcome all motoring enthusiasts who like to use their classic vehicles for touring.

For guests in our Self Catering Apartment there is ample off-road parking, and in some circumstances (very valuable or vintage cars) we may even be able to provide stabling.

A Mixed Bunch of mostly Citroens - our small collection currently comprises:

1975 Citroen Dyane 6 - Hilly bought Orangina from our good friend and 2CV expert Steve Hill in 1992. This car is still in pretty good nick but is currently 'resting'. We're rarely without a baby Citroen on the road (very practical and a hoot to drive) and in 2000 bought Lemongina, a 1980 Dyane 6. She now has one of the famous Louis Barbour 4WD conversions, so she can go virtually anywhere! Currently undergoing body rebuild. Find out more about the small Citroen scene in the UK at 2CVGB

1977 Citroen Ami 8 Convertible - having originally been converted in France, reputedly for a certain french car magazine publisher, in 2004/05 it underwent comprehensive restoration here, incorporation major modification to stiffen the body and make the top keep the worst of the british weather out - the previous hood was little more than a sun-canopy with no sides! Undertook a 2-week 2000 mile family trip to the south of France Easter '06, to visit various "old car" friends. (photo shows Ami Cabrio at Floors Castle near Kelso, during the 2CV World Meeting in 2005). See more Ami Cabrio pictures

Ugly Bug Fiat Multipla,replaced the VW Camper a few years ago. It is the only people carrier (6 seats and very short / easy to park) available with any really original thought inherent in its design. Hilly says she hates it (interior by Fisher Price etc.), but she's slowly coming round, and 50 mpg (diesel) is nice. It's not old, but it is interesting and great to drive (like a huge Mini - but you can see over hedges).

1960 MGA (modified). Bought by Dan in 1979 as the proverbial pile of bits (most missing!) and rebuilt over an 11 year(?) period. MGB 1800 engine and o/drive box. uprated suspension and brakes. Has toured extensively. Fast (although not by modern standards) and uncomfortable but fun. Living with a friend at the moment. On the Button . . . the Old Cars page button.

DRK 3-Wheeler - aluminium and timber bodied Renault Special, assembled by Dan in 1987 from a high quality kit. One of about 60 in existence. Used to be dark blue and travelled to Germany and LeMans in the late 80's. Back on the road in '02 after long rebuild and colour change. Fast & Scary, and the mudguard stays crack, but you get hooked. Our Tom (age 10 this year) and I are now planning a future European trip on 3 wheels, taking in the Stelvio Pass (after seeing it on Top Gear). See some Club DRK pictures

1975 Citroen GS 1220 Club Estate. This incredible car was purchased from a friend in the Citroen Car Club in late 2007 with 29,000 miles. A complete time warp in bright Orange Tenere (same as Hillys '75 Dyane), the whole interior is bright orange as well! See the pictures . . .

1964 Citroen ID Safari. Unique Slough-built estate. This amazing vehicle has now gone (via DS World) to a new home. We were very sad to see her go after 12 years of travelling in extreme comfort in the UK and abroad, but now hope she gives the current owner as much happiness as she has given our family over the years. I would be very glad if he wants to contact us (so we can keep in touch with the car, and possibly fill in any bits of history not in the document file). We hope he doesn't mind us leaving the pictures here (for a little while, at least).
