An 81-Car Barn Find Is Headed For Auction With Prices Starting At £50
If you thought the recent discovery of 11 unused E34 BMW 5-series was the ultimate barn find, you may wish to take a look at this incredible assortment of vehicles.
It’s an 81-strong fleet of cars found in France which are now being auctioned off individually, and it’s a ridiculously eclectic mix. Perhaps you’d like a Citroen Rosalie van (above), or maybe a Lincoln Continental? On the auction page there is also a pair of Packards, a trio of Lancias and a few brands you’re unlikely to have even heard of.
Exotica rubs shoulders with the humdrum in the bizarre collection. At the high-end of the scale, there are cars like a P400 Lamborghini Miura with an estimate of €400,000 - €600,000 and a Jaguar E-Type with an upper estimate of €60,000, contrasted by a 1994 Peugeot 306 XND. We’re particularly fond of the Trabant, which is expected to go for around €100 -200.
The cheapest vehicles are listed with lower estimates of just €50, and there are plenty of random parts going for peanuts too. One highlight is a polycarbonate Ferrari GTO replica body which could go for as little as €300. You could always convince your boss that it’d make for a great office ornament…
The caveat here is the condition of the vehicles, which ranges from terrible to “that’s not a car, that’s just a pile of rust”. But still, the lots make for intriguing viewing. Take a look and let us know what stands out for you.

That Miura looks straight outa FH2
Matt Robinson you types muira instead of miura

What if we threaten all those who try to get in to bid on it with discomfort or death, then let one person in to get it for 50 dollars. We’ll all then throw in money to get um to work and we’ll have the CT community garage! (this one without hotwheels)
like a community funded project car. i like the idea
Barn finds always draw attention, no matter if there’s pure crap or gold.
Lets hope this one doesnt end like the E34 barn find lmao
only 50 bucks? yes please!
300€ FOR A EFFING 250GTO BODY??? I WANT ITTTTT
seeing this moldy corvette made me feel like crying
Some guys on YouTube left a Civic to mold, inside and outside, and they they cleaned it up in a few days.
It’s quite easy to clean from what i’ve seen.
