Devastating images like these have something romantic about them. They are almost magnetic images, capable of leaving any car lover to dream of one day finding such a treasure. This treasure, found in France, counts more than 100 cars on which merciless time has left its marks.
Rust, despondency, silence and history are just four of the words that come to us to describe the images that follow. Questions with no apparent answer, an abandonment without pity or pity. It's knots in the stomach that after a good restoration are worth millions.
Among the 100 classics are some very valuable rarities, but none the less worn down by the elements. Masterpieces such as a Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider (1 of 37 produced) a model that could be worth between 10 and 15 million dollars at auction, or a spectacular 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport Frua, a Facel Vega Excellence and even a Bugatti 57 Ventoux from 1930.
This magnificent, shady car park took shape in western France when a magnate named Baillon decided to fulfill his dream of one day restoring the cars he had bought with the intention of exhibiting them in a museum. Unfortunately, some setbacks in this millionaire's life have ruined his intentions. The result is in sight.
