I found these photos on a website in Germany and felt very sad. Surely some of these could be restored back to something special.

And more.

Well i would hazard a guess that the owner has died and left them to someone un interested in cars and unaware of what they or.

 

Or something drastic has failed with them, rendering them worthless and people havnt had the money to repair, or the heart to get rid of. So they end up rotting, reminding them of more lucrative times :)

 

Very sad, the 348 (is it? next the countach) looks especially forlorn. Whats the purple one? and the F40 is really tugging at my emotional side!

how could anyone let this happen to a countach, and that F40 looks like it wants to come home to me ;)

isnt this that scam where some guy bought a house and supposedly found all these motors in his barn lol

 

third pic in, is that a lambo mauri (or something similar to that name lolO)

I can't work out what the last car is....no wheels on the back.

he purple one is a TVR isnt it?

i dont think that f40 looks the real deal,looks like a kit look alike

The purple one is from a tvr speed 12!! where on earth is that?? im fairly sure they only made a few with the purple body shell. i saw one at silverstone a few years back. i cant believe these pictures! i dont think they are from that american barn thing tho, ive seem some pictures of that. its insane!

im not sure it is a speed 12... There supposed to have all been broken and used as spares to keep the racers going. Apart from one that was rebuilt and sold at vast cost..!

seen that thread on pistonheads, beggers belief

 

:-(

I agree the F40 looks a kit, but what about the dino and the aston. the parts alone are way over what any of ours are worth.

Would love to find any of those cars, and give em a new home.

looking at the aston, it needs reshelling. its as rotten as a pear. :(

maserati in the background of the third one in?

Do you have the link to the site please mate?

I want the Aston.

A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.

 

The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 yrs.; the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs.

 

The house was sold to pay taxes.

 

There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.

 

 

The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved in, and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing him.

 

So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders.......and cut thru the welds.

 

What was in the barn...............?

 

 

Go to; http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm and start wishing you had bought the place.

Sadly an urban myth - but a nice idea.

I think the real story is that a guy who used to own a chain of car dealerships bought them and stashed them in the barn, after some years asked a photographer to document what was in there.

 

Although it is a very odd story, for someone to collect 180 or so cars and not have logged what was in there suprises me.
