UK Mopar Barn Finds Spotted on the move

For those that don't use FaceBook, there have been a few images appearing in the last week of Mopars on trailers on the A1 heading south.
It is likely this is some of the collection of Colin Wills, who died recently and was the guy who had the cars in an old chapel in Lincolnshire. There are rumours of possibly 30 cars in the collection.
IF this is Colin's collection, this includes the 70 Hemi Cuda barn find that Blue posted a detailed thread about recently.

Cars that were spotted were a blue 340 Duster, 71 Challenger R/T 440, a Roadrunner convertible (possibly a Hemi) and the GKN FFF100 prototype.

It will be interesting to see what surfaces and what happens to the collection over the coming weeks or months.

I've posted this here so it can be found again.
Facebook is full of information which can never be found twice, hence why I haven't posted pics as I cant find them right now!

If you don't know what it is, then take a look here. It was featured in the MMA club magazine eons ago, an article written by Lauren (Fishtails for those who remember).

This link has photos of it in what looks like the inside of the chapel in 2009, according to the text.

I would like the chapel to live in, always liked the idea of living in one of them.

Always liked that GKN car, looks similar the the 1972 Jenson F Type, both by William Towns.

I'm with you Derek, I would love to restore that building. I'm drooling over the Challenger. Something about cars covered in dust that have been sitting there for years while the world ticks on

So come on then. The legend of the 'chapel full of Hemis'. Even I had heard of it but kinda thought it was mopar folklore - turns out there was a chapel and it was certainly full of cars.

SO - now its out in the open - Who knew where it was ? Who had been in the chapel and seen them all ? I know some of you must have... :-$
