The shed of your dreams

[DaveTE]

Check this link out. Apparently a guy bought a farm and went and had a look at the shed down the back of the property and this is what it contained. The dream shed I reckon.

If i found that shed i would never leave it, ever!

[trick_xd]

Looks like someone had fun collecting a lot of cars..

Wish it was mine

[Kenaz]

Wow!

A pretty valuable shed.

[XCSEDAN]

i'd sell the lot.. and buy a phaseII (if the total value of all those cars added of corse)
and a few XA coupes here and there, some gt's and she'd e sweet ;)
and let me say,
now thats a barnyard find!!!

I would say that if you sold those cars you could probably buy quite a few phase II's, i wouldn't be suprised if some of them were even worth more than phase II's on their own.

ive seen a thread extreamly similar to this. the guy bought the property opened it and found all of those cars. btw how could you forget about it? that is a friggen airport hanger. also imagine all the keys

[ED Classic]

[JD86]

If I was working hard on an old farm, I be building a similar collection of toys too - love the old euros - we had an Alfasud like that a Renault17TL umpteen 50/60s Beetles and Kombis, BM 1800 and 2002, Pug205GTI. Elans and Alfas yum, even looked like a Sunbeam Alpine there. R5 Alpine absent.
I'd rather lots of affordable fun toys than a couple of expensive show ponies too.
If I had no son or daughter to share the bounty with and my relos sucked (not a huge stretch) then I reckon I'd do the same as this old guy. Oh and I'd be one eccentric grumpy ole bugger too!

perhaps a deceased estate, the old timer just past on and no-one but him knew they were there?

Sounds the most logical explination. The barn doors were welded dhut too, so the executor would never have known.

Those 1920/30's Formula cars would be worth a few million. They are probably in running condition too.

I just can't believe the condition of the interior of most of the cars! Amazing!

[Falcon Freak]

The people who purchased the property can sell all of the cars and get their money back (and them some). The person who was collecting these cars probably got them cheap many years agp. I wonder which of those cars would be the most valuable.

Jeebus!

They are really packed in there huh??

This is the fourth such "backyard" find I have read about now.

It'd be the worst if they were all stolen and the new owner of the property got done for purchasing stolen goods.

[LUXO_8]

thats nuts...... love it

[Interceptor]

i remember reading a while back about a satellite TV installer over in the states who was doing an install on a farm in the backwoods of nowhere.....

walked past the old ladys barn, stuck his nose in and saw what looked like a mustang under a cover, asked her about it, and it turned out that it belonged to her son, who'd bought a 1969 Shelby GT500 brand new before going back for his 2nd tour in vietnam, sadly for her, he never came back

satellite installer guy asked her if she'd be interested in selling it, and despite his protests that it was worth a lot more, she let him have it for the original sticker price.......

dammit... i ment PhaseIII broken keyboard is getting annoying!

[LUXO_8]

i wouldnt be supprised if some of them were worth more than 1m each, those 2 early F1 cars would be very valuable.......

[irsa76]

I heard Jay Leno tried to buy the whole lot. Until he realised just how much all this is actually worth.

[NC1183]

My brother showed me this from the AusMini forums a couple of months ago.

[Elks]

All I ever find is spiders.....

I think that the car listed as a 20's american is actaully a Duesenberg. (someone correct me if I'm wrong) That's worth millions on its own.

[krt10]

[R0BD0G]

i want 1 just like that one

[apolloxbgt]

Unbeleivable,some of those cars are in awesome condition and some are fairly random.There seems to be quite a few plain late model beetles,the just seem out of place with the rest of those cars.

[uranium_death]

Beautiful cars.

I wonder if there's something like that waiting for me in the world.

No...there's only another big boot waiting to kick me in the pants.

[Silentsfastcar]

it would be a full time job just keeping the cars clean!! time you removed all the dirt for the last one, the first one would be covered again!! lol
but someof them looked completely stuffed, but others looked like a bit of dust was all there was wrong with it :p that and the flat tires!
