That's someones pension fund!!
What a waste, but at least they are under cover and look (for the most part) to be in good nick
Personally I'm a big Alfa fan and some of those older Alfa's look fantastic
Wonder where that barn is though????

Wouldn't mind a couple of the old Lotus Elans either!
Oh and a Mark I Cooper S would be quite nice, and a Porsche 356.................................................................................
Be nice to pop over and adopt a few!

Ethics behind leaving those awesome cars to rot aside, what a hell of a collection!!! I could spend weeks just sat in there 'playing' with them all.
Im dead envious

There's a big barn next to me with high security warnings and big air con plant on it. Don't think its that one like as I usually see nice shiny Ferrari's/Maseratis?lambo's around and about there. I'd be like a kid in a sweet shop, I love stuff like that, especially the fancy stuff!
Have any of you seen JK from Jamiroquais stuff? Old Lambo Dino, classic Bentley convertible, newer Ferrari's. All used with the principle that kids should see 'an old Lambo blasting down the road at 100mph' - too right!!
God, I wish!!

If it is the same barn that I am thinking of, then those are old images - and the contents were sold last year
(And yes, was for shit loads)
I believe that the barn, iirc, was part of a farm that had been left alone for a long time, and the new owner, who bought it from the french equivalent of probate sight unseen, discovered the contents after he had bought it.....

The barn is in Portugal and the doors had been welded shut.
From what else I've found out, the bloke that owned them has recently died and his family had the doors cut through.
Maybe they'll be up for sale at some point.
I especially like this one
Don't know the make tho (does anyone?)

Looks Lagonda-ish, particularly the grille.

That's what I thought initially, but there's the small wings on the radiator cap, so I went though a whole stack of classic car manufacturers and it could be one of half a dozen, bar the small wings.Samray wrote:Looks Lagonda-ish, particularly the grille.
I wonder if they were an addition to the car?
