Remember this - was in PC or Classic Car Weekly the other month, the Ferrari was presumed lost and saying it may affect prices it's so rare - whether up or down though they didn't know!

Unbelievable I wonder how much they bought them all for? Was it a probate sale? It's unbelievable to think there are people out there who will amass such an amazing collection only to keep the cars in such poor surroundings? Craziness.
 
Roger Baillon was a french transport business owner collecting classic cars in the early days, planning to start a museum with the cars. But things didn't go as planned, his business went down in the 70's making him sell 50 cars to pay the bills.. The other 70 cars were put in the scrappy storage for 50 years to be found again in 2014. The cars will be auctioned off in February 2015 by the french auction house Arcturial Motorcars

A good illustration of how bonkers the dude must have been. I mean he could have sold about 10 of those cars in the 70s and used the money to build some bloody good water proof accommodation for the rest of the collection. Very strange.
 
This is probably my favourite

I found a good article on face book tells you the history & what happened,I liked the car that was not in the auction I guess the family will have that restored now! the cars name translates to blue bird but not the one your thinking of!
I think the van I start video at is a baillon own coach built body!
