    There are 14 Barn finds in the base game of Forza Horizon 5. You unlock barn finds by:

    - Story / Expedition / Event progress
    - (All) Optionale objectives during the Expeditions (as example one rumor for Ford Racing Escort MK1 is that you complete "Reach the top of the central ruin" in the Tulum Expedition)
    - Purchase (all) player houses (as example for the Renault 4L Export you have to buy the La Cabana house on the west side of the map)

    There is no point in going to a location if it has not yet been activated on your map via story, please keep this in mind.

    After a barn find is activated, you will see a purple circle on your map. Inside this circle, you will find the barn. Now you can either search this circle yourself by car or by drone, both of which are relatively quick. The circles look bigger than they are. Alternatively, you can use one of the videos that are in the spoilers of each location below or purchase the ingame treasure map for $3 (which reveal also all 250 boards, another achievement)

    After you find a car, you will have to wait for it for a while. The cars are restored automatically. This sometimes takes several (real! ingame) hours or even days. You will get a message when a car is restored. The achievement is unlocking after you restored the last car.

    Alternatively, you can speed up this process. Go to one of the 7 player houses which you have bought and click on "Barn Finds" in the menu. Here you select your found car and see the current price to restore the car directly.

    The two Ferraris (250 GTO and F40 Competizione) take the longest to restore. The GTO lasts several days. So you should find the car as soon as it is available at your game so that the restoration can start. You can find the Ferrari 250 GTO in a barn near Los Jardines (After the barn has been activated, of course, see above)

    GamerWeddersCompleted the game, bought all the houses, stuck at 13/14. Can confirm redoing the Tulum Expedition and the optional objective to get on top of the central structure (drive forward and look for the big ramp) unlocked the last barn find for me AT LAST.

    Virulent CruxJust in case anyone freaks out like me, it seems you need to be in the base game area to collect barn find cars. I was in the rally expansion area and although the game lets you “collect car,” nothing happens. As soon as I fast traveled back, I was able to claim it.

    Jeraim48I've been looking for a long time how to unlock the barn treasure of the Ford Racing Escort MK1.
    To unlock this barn, you have to take pictures of the statues in the Tulum expedition.

    Note: One of the cars (Ferrari 250 GTO) takes a long time to restore. Just keep playing the game and after around 12 hours after you collected it you will get the achievement.

    NighthawkJoVLGS I Hitman, thank you for the info about the house unlocking the Renault. That's exactly the info I needed. MrWilliamThor, I would suggest adding that to the guide.
