There are always barn finds. However, such a large group is rarely detected. It can be worth millions.
The vast majority of drivers use their cars to get from point A to point B. But for some people, cars are more than that, they are an investment and are usually stored in the garage. However, sometimes they are forgotten and dust accumulates. This means that amazing discoveries are always being made. It can be larger sometimes. Such as a supposed collection of over 200 vehicles.
This “barn find” was documented in a video on the YouTube channel Classic car rescue you can see. The vehicles were found in an old museum, as shown in the video description. They were left there to rot.
