Damn, does that strike anyone else as a bit suss? I just get the feeling they're stolen, why else would they be all locked away and forgotten. Bit of paydirt for the new owners if they get to keep them though, depends on the statute of limitations I guess.

And yeah, those are some nice cars in there. I wonder what happens now? Owners get called to come and collect I guess if it was all stolen?

Take that dirt off them and they would look heaps better. The most important thing with some of the classics in that shed is their completeness and originality.

No offence taken. It wouldn't matter what the language was, I should have taken notice of the top of the web page...... Either way I couldnt read it!!

I would like to know how the hell the bloke took the photos without disturbing any dust on the cars, surely he'd have to squeeze past some of them.

Gone in 60 seconds....


Surely it is suss. Otherwise the owner was a fanatic..or was obsessed and didn't want to wreck the cars by driving them. Whatever the case may be, that is a fair collection!

It was a collection. The matter was on SBS about 3 years ago. The old bloke who owned the property died and was found 5 months later by his nephew. He sold it all site un-seen. I Bet wish he had of looked around first now.

Theres actually a property down the road from me here, its about 4 or 5 acres of cars, mostly british cars.

I cant get photos, the property is surrounded by a barbed wire fence. so i got the next best thing! google earth!! obviously the pic is old so it shows the begginings of his collection:
