That will keep the restorers busy for a while

If more of these 'very rare' models keep turning up, they'll be still be classic but worth very little as there will be so many of them around. Now why does that ring a bell....

These barn finds ways make me feel less sorry for farmers . Oh whats that in the hay loft I forgot I left my Ferrari there.

With these sort of stories, I'm always amazed that they can be hidden away for so long

30 / 40 years ago a landowner in Crieff killed himself and his estate was bought by a Dutchman who wasn't over interested in the land or buildings and sold off farming equipment etc to local farmers.
The haul to one farmer who bought the contents of a barn was several tons of hay and a Ferrari which was parked up behind the wall of hay.

And they all have wonderful "patina".I just thought that meant a rusty old car with a moth eaten interior.

This raises the question:-

If you were a multi millionaire and had money to spend on a professional restoration would you buy any of these cars? Also assuming you had a big house with converted stables to store the car(s)

For me the Ferrari 250 maybe? But otherwise would prefer to spend the money elsewhere on a GT40 or real AC Cobra.

What would other Stag owner imaginery multi-millionaires prefer (assuming your Stag was restored to perfection first of course)???

Well, I think my first "investment" would have to be a 1972 Plymouth Roadrunner with the 440 and sixpack. After that there would no doubt be a glorious mix of European and American classics...
