Barn Find In France Uncovers 100 Cars Worth Up To AU$22 Million: Video

You may read about barn finds from time to time, but rarely are they as epic as this one.

The doors to several 'barns' in France were finally thrown open three months ago after nearly 40 years of inactivity, revealing between 12-15 million euros (AU$17-22 million) in automotive gold.

Around 100 cars were discovered, with 60 already bound for auction in Paris by Artcurial in February next year.

Artcurial motor vehicle specialists Pierre Novikoff and Matthieu Lamoure stumbled upon the find after receiving a tip-off from a friend of the owner’s family. 

The Telegraph in the UK reports models from Chapron, Saoutchick and Million-Guiet were among the cars found, but plenty have been overshadowed by a classic Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider; found under bundles of old magazines.

There’s also at least eight Talbot Lagos, a Grand Sport Aerodynamique coupe, a Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux and a Porsche 356.
