who cares it is just an old barn..........
----- SOME BARN
A recently retired New York man wanted to use his retirement funds wisely,
Decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal .
The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; the owner and wife
Both had died, and th ere were no heirs.
The estate was being sold to pay back taxes. There had been several lookers,
But the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. No one
Wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't
Complimentary to the property anyway... So, no one made an offer on the
Place.
The New York gentleman bought it as is, paying just over half of the property's
Worth; moved in, and set about to access the barn... Curiosity was killing him.
So, he and his wife bought a generator and a couple of grinders... And cut
Thru the welds.
What was in the barn...?

The Barn
The doors were welded shut, but a grinder took care of that.
A warehouse full of vintage high performance cars!!!
Aston Martin?
Opel GT, Lotus Elan FHC, Lotus Super Seven Series IV, Lotus Elan DHC.
Porsche 356, Austin Healey Sprite MkII, Volvo PV 544, Ford Y?
Giulietta Sprint, Giulia Sprint Speciale (SS), Nash Metropolitan.

I'm sure they can make over 35 million easy if they auction them off one at a time. The estimate value for cars this rare with all original parts and paint are 9 times outta 10 worth more than the estimated value. Those formula racers could easily sale for more than a couple million possibly 5 each..
