2 x Legendary British Barn Finds - Will the Rare (one of 18 made) Turbo V8 run?

Two Legendary 150mph British Barn Finds - will the rare (one of 18 made) Turbo V8 run? Welcome to a barnfind episode where Jonny Smith visits rural Suffolk to meet the owner (since 1980) of what is regarded as the most beautiful sports car ever. The other British classic has also sat for decades, but you've probably never seen one before. Made to order with optional turbo and convertible. Will it fire up?
