What a find.

unfortunitely for some reason that page wouldn't load on my browser.

Reminds me a lot of a true story my grandfater told me once. When he worked in insurance in the 60's he used to visit a lot of farms for business reasons.  

One farmer he visited told him a simelar story. when he purchased his farm in a fairly run down state, he discovered two old vehicles at the back of a cluttered barn, and they turned out to be extreemly rare and valuable. So he sold one and used the money to restore the other one. My grandfater saw the car as well, although unfortunitly has no idea what the car actually was.

Always one for an interesting story! Sounds much better when he tells it, was trying to keep it brief!

Wow - What a collection!!!

I wonder how many of them run!

Thats unbelievable, the Lotus 7 looked ready to go . Like the little single seater race cars, although not so sure about the homemade rear wing.

how did they all get there?

did somebody die who had been storing them?

was it a massive collection of stolen cars?

i literally can not believe it, its something that you might see in a film but not ever in real life.

i cant believe there's even a couple of old formula competition race cars in there.

some of the cars loook like they've been sat there for up to 50-60 years?!? but then the Lotus 7 doesn't look too dirty or dusty.

i wonder when the doors actually got welded up and the cars were last seen by someone? what made them decided to seal them in for such a long time?

soooooooooooo many questions!!!!! ops:  :?  8O  :dontknow:

i know its madness  

Imagine  finding Dubboys garage in 50 odd years 8O

The porsche 356 was enough to make my eyes pop out! What a car! I'd have been happy finding that alone in the barn, nevermind all the other gems thrown in…

Have you seen a man eat his own head?

I think this may be the site that originally posted the pics….they have an English translation, but not for this topic….

…the 'barn' is flippin HUGE !!!!

I see a 1980's Alfa-Sud in there so its been open in the last 20 years or so.

AMAZING find - though i'd probably sell most of them and fill up the space with lots of new cars to keep forever, and never use, and let rot….

That is mafia. It has to be surely. 8O
