A house with a barn

An American business man decided to retire to Portugal with his wife.
He bought a house at auction.
The previous owners of the house had died 15 years ago & had no children..... it was being sold to pay taxes.
It came with alot of land & a barn that had the doors welded shut.
No estate agent thought to open the barn doors & it was sold for half the market price.
When the barn doors were opened look what was found....

Who'd believe you could make discoveries like that in this day and age

Johnny. That is absolutely unreal!
I am a classic car enthusiast and that is without doubt the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Thanks a million for posting it.
I have put it in my favourites to share it with my mates.
Well done, mate. That has made my day(in fact year!). Pat

It has been posted on here before, a while back, by someone else. But something like this is always worth re-posting

It's still an amazing collection. I for one have not seen it before and therein lies the interest.
So it's still made my day.

We'd better have a whip-round for coins for the car wash then.
