A farm in France has unexpectedly gained fame after the discovery of approximately 100 rare cars on the premises, including the highly sought-after 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider.
This farm could potentially be one of the most valuable hidden gems in the world of car collectors. Alongside the aforementioned Ferrari California Spider, there are also other valuable machines such as a 1956 Maserati A6G Gran Sport Frua and a Bugatti 57 Ventoux. Artcurial, an auction house, is planning to auction 60 out of the 100 cars in February. The Ferrari 250 GT California Spider 1961 has an estimated value of 12 million euros, equivalent to 14.7 million USD, while the Maserati could fetch around 1.2 million euros or 1.47 million USD.
This impressive collection belonged to a French business magnate named Roger Baillon, who began collecting cars during the 1950s. However, due to financial struggles in the following decades, he was forced to sell approximately 50 cars, leaving him with no sufficient funding to properly store the remaining 100 cars. Consequently, these extraordinary vehicles were left to rust on a farm. According to Artcurial, only 60 out of the 100 cars remain in functioning condition, and their total value is estimated to be in the range of 12 to 15 million euros (14.7 to 18.4 million USD).
