Just clicked through the pictures and had one of those fantacy thoughts (no not that kind!)
If you found this barn and had the time and the space to take just one car home, which one would you take?
It's easy to rule ou the Midget, the Mini and the Volvo, and the yank tanks, then it gets hard.......

What is unusual about this barn find is that the range of cars is enormous.
Large , small, sports, saloon, different manufactures, different continents.

Interesting to see quite several lotuses in a foreign collection.

Can't see all the cars but I'd probably go for one of the 50's/60's Alfas. Stylish inside and out with some cutting edge technology for the time.

Been doing the rounds and either the New York gent has not been selling anything or did not exist in the first place....

Sounds like the barn find is genuine at least. If the identity of the owner is not publicised then it almost adds to the mystique.
Owners favorite car - Lancia Aurelia B24 - obviously a man with taste.
