Hi

Seems someone had one major barn find. Apparently 180 cars, in a welded up barn for the last 15 years. Fair few Alfas in there.

All the best

Well,
That just paid off the mortage and then some.... Razz

Wouldn't you have a heart attack when you opened the doors?



Be Right Back,
Just got to pop down the road and check out that big old shed...

I guess in 2 more years I'll have to throw it a big 21st party...
A few more after that I can put it on a classic/historic registration. Razz

Hi...

Yes, i`ve seen those photos... The warehouse, is located very close to were i live...

But the story, is not correct...

The warehouse, belongs to a person that invests in classics...
He buys the cars (sometimes by very small money), keeps them and latter sells them by a fortune...

On one photo you can see a air conditioning next to a wall...

The "discovery", is not what it seems... Its just a "advertising" to let people know that he haves such a great collection for sale...

"Discovery"....Yehh, right Rolling Eyes

The stuff of dreams, except the hillman imp, presumably there to hold the gates shut? Laughing
