    Not sure if this has been posted but here goes.

    I heard from a friend today that there was a large barn find recently in Porto. So of course I got all excited and googled it.

    A gentleman bought some land with a huge "barn" situated on it. Apparently he didnt even know the cars were in there and that it was just this big ugly building. The doors were even welded shut as you can see in the picture.

    And of course when he took possesion of the property he broke open the "barn" doors and found over 40 classic cars in there. Sorry I dont think there any Ferrari's but I do see some interesting English cars, Alfa's and a few Lotus. What else can you spot?

    Very cool, hope you enjoy.

    No urban legend, it's true. I live in Portugal.
    And it was 160 cars if I remember correctly
    If you look at some of the pictures the "barn" had air conditioning ...

    Hi Vasco,
    In the off topic section is a tread with lots of pictures.
    Lot of italian beauties, especially a few rare Alfa's.
