Another large collection of forgotten old cars found in Europe. This barnfind was located in France and consists of about 60 cars including Bugatti, Talbot Lago, Panhard-Levassor, Maserati, Ferrari, Delahaye, Delage and many more.
The original collector and owner of the collection was Roger Baillon, a shipping entrepreneur. Mr.Baillon collected the fine vehicles in the 1950s, having plans to build his own museum. However did this not happen as his business failed in the 1970s and had to sell off roughly half of his cars. The rest were simply left to rest in various states of exposure.
Roger Baillon died more than 10 years ago, passing the cars on to his family whom did not realise the value of the 60 cars to reach £12,000,000.
