This Virginia Collection Is a Treasure Trove of Vintage Euro Barn Finds
It's impossible to pick a favorite here.
As far as barn finds go, this has to be one of the most impressive of 2019. It's a collection of old European and American sports cars tucked into a few buildings in the small coastal city of Reedville, Virginia. There are some serious pieces of vintage machinery, and they're all for sale.
Tom Cotter, host of Hagerty's Barn Find Hunter YouTube series, caught up with the collection's new owner, North Carolina Ford dealer Mike Sperber, shortly before the cars were to be pulled out of their resting places to be prepped for sale. The two took a stroll through the two bigger buildings, going over nearly every one of the cars on-site.
Among the vehicles inside include a handful of Volkswagen pickups, a vintage GTI, a Mercedes-Benz 280SL, a 1971 250 two-door, a Jaguar Mk.2, a Volvo 240 wagon, a BMW 633CSi, two Porsche 912s, a couple of 356s, a widebody 911, a classic Ford F-150, and two Daimler SP250s. Not shown in the video but also part of the sale are a TVR Griffith, three Sunbeam Tigers, and a Lotus Elan.
What's really interesting is that most of these cars are in good condition and complete. Some are in pieces, while others look like they could fire up with a new battery. If you're interested in owning one of these cars, all 44 will be listed for sale via Sperber's dealer website.
