Re: Buying houses in Portugal

Thats incredible!!
They even have a Magnette in amongst all those gems.
And nobody had any idea? What a fantastic moment it must have been when they first opened it up. I would have thought I had died and gone to heaven. I love the oldies.!

Re: Buying houses in Portugal

Reading the various pages it looks like someone bought these cars in the 80s, then in the 90s they welded shut the barn doors (when the collectors market crashed?). Someone said there are 180 cars in that barn.
