    I spotted this on a sailing forum that I participate on. The story goes that a gent from the states was poking around in Portugal and found a place that had been for sale for quite a while the main reason being that it had a large barn type building with heavy steel doors that were welded shut causing some concern among the potential buyers.
    After buying the place he cut the welds open on the doors.

    My original idea of how the cars were accumulated was pretty close to correct. Some interesting cars in the batch even if someone decided to make up a story for folks to fall for.

    Some interesting cars there but damned few I'd want even for free.

    An Alfa Sprint Speciale would be a nice addition to any collection.
