The term "barnfind" has been abused as late partly because there were times the word added a huge premium at auction, but true time capsules unearthed in old garages and barns never cease to amaze.

I'm sure there are many classic examples awaiting discovery where an owner parked a car for whatever reason and lived his/her life while it sat unmolested. "Barnfind" sounds better than the old "ran when parked" which more describes a car or bike that fell into disrepair from neglect.
