A farm in France has suddenly become famous after many people discovered about 100 rare cars on the farm, including the extremely rare 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider.
Â
This could be the most valuable farm ever found. In addition to the extremely rare California Spider, there is also a 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport Frua and a Bugatti 57 Ventoux. 60 out of the total 100 cars will be auctioned off in February by Artcurial. According to the auction house, the Ferrari 250 GT California Spider 1961 can fetch 12 million EUR, equivalent to 14.7 million USD, while the Maserati could sell for 1.2 million EUR, equivalent to 1.47 million USD.
These cars belong to Roger Baillon, a French business tycoon. Baillon started collecting cars in the 1950s, but over the next two decades, his business started to struggle, forcing him to sell about 50 cars and not having enough money to store his other 100 cars. These cars were then brought to a farm where they gradually rusted away. Artcurial said that only 60 out of the 100 cars are still usable, and their value ranges from 12 – 15 million EUR, equivalent to 14.7 – 18.4 million USD.
