"A highly original 1972 model Porsche 911S was unearthed recently in Ireland and has arrived at Autofarm to be sympathetically prepared. We will track the restoration progress and upload more photos soon."

That photo doesn't look too staged. All they need is some chickens on the roof.

Looks like a whale in the barn as well or a great optical illusion at closer glance

Hmm..."unearthed", maybe a dig at a Celtic midden?

Barns are sooooo 2011. I found a pre A cabriolet a few weeks ago in Northern Arizona wedged (ok, not literally) between two pine trees that grew up while it sat there for 30 years. Owner had the presense of mind to put tarps under and over it. Unbelievably original and rust free (we're not replacing any sheetmetal!) I don't don't know about a "sympathetic" restoration but it will certainly be a proper one.

I think the color is stunning. I can't wait to see the final result.

imagine if there was a barn for every barn find, you wouldn't be able to go for a drive without hitting one...

All of which just begs the question . . . . 'What was it doing in a barn in the first place?'

Apparently, arranged for the photo shoot...

a "sympathetic" restoration

It's what you do when you feel sorry for the car...
