Rare 60 Car Collection Barn Find in France

by Caitlin Duffy
December 9, 2014
in News

The video above shows a moving scene. It’s a five minute tour free from narration, an online trip through forgotten memories. Uploaded to YouTube Dec. 5 by Artcurial Briest – Poulain – F. Tajan, the Collection Baillon shown in this silent tour is a rare treasure to find: a massive collection of rare cars, examples of exotic cars and marques long gone, set for a Feb. 6 auction in Paris.

Rusted, decaying and filled with overgrowth, 60 cars clustered together in a farm yard seem like something from an abandoned life. A Dec. 5 press release from Artcurial Motorcars details the find in full, likening its discovery to Lord Carrington and Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.

french-ferrari-collection

“This collection was assembled during the 1950s by Roger Baillon, an entrepreneur who ran a transport company based in the west of France,” describes the release. “As enthusiast from the early days, he exhibited, at the Paris Motor Show during the 1950s, a roadster that he had built. His dream was to conserve the heritage of pre-war automobiles in museum surroundings. During the 1970s, before he could carry out the necessary restoration work, his dream was shattered when his business suffered a setback. He was forced to sell some fifty cars, and since that time, the rest of the collection did not move until this discovery. ”

Stored “under makeshift corrugated iron shelters and in various outbuildings,” the find is a restoration enthusiast’s dream. Though tires are flat on many, the glass butted or broken on most, the rarity of these vehicles makes this collection’s value nearly immeasurable. Bumper to bumper, they almost seem huddled for warmth. Speedsters sit on cinder blocks, fallen hubcaps lean against stumps and ivy wraps in and out of eroded chassis, but some have withstood the test of time better than others. Take a five minute tour through this abandoned lot when you watch the video above, and prepare your plans for a restoration.

To better prepare for your restoration plans, be sure to view the full list of cars included in the collection, as listed by the Daily Mail:
