The Collectors’ Car Department at Artcurial has discovered 60 collectors’ automobiles, all major marques dating from the early days of the motor car through to the 1970s. Found following fifty years of lying dormant, the Baillon collection will be sold by Artcurial Motorcars in the first part of the traditional sale at Retromobile Salon, on 6 February 2015, in Paris.
These motor cars have been tucked away in a property in the West of France, under makeshift corrugated iron shelters and in various outbuildings.
The most valuable car in this barn find is this 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder.
