RM Sotheby’s has announced the sale of what may become the most valuable automotive barn find in history: 20 Ferraris consigned to the mercy of time in 1990, unearthed in 2004 when Hurricane Charley collapsed the Florida barn they were housed in, the cars were then rescued and relocated to Indiana and left to gather dust for another two decades.
The vehicle count of just 20 cars is significantly less than the world’s previous largest “barn find” – French industrialist Roger Baillon’s 60-car collection which was left to decay in barns on a French estate for half a century. The average value of the cars in this barn find however, is MUCH higher.
We thought the Baillon Collection of 60 cars was "the barn find of the century" but we could have been wrong. Our original story on the discovery of the collection can be found here.
