The Palmen Barnfind Collection !
The incredible trove, which comprises no less than 230 classic cars, was amassed over a period of 40 years by Dutch collector Ad Palmen.
Mr Palmen worked as a car dealer in the Netherlands in the mid-1960s before eventually starting his own collection with a yellow Lancia B20. He stored his ever-expanding hoard in three separate locations—two warehouses and a church—away from the prying eyes of the curious (and other auto enthusiasts).
It was only when Palmen became ill with dementia late last year that his executors came across what is now considered one of the best-kept secret collections in Europe.
Hailing from marques the world over, the rarities illustrate Palmen’s refined taste and discerning eye. The haul includes coved classics from Italy (Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, and Ferrari), France (Facel Vega), Germany (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and NSU), the UK (Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Rolls-Royce), and America (Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Ford).
There are rides from more obscure nameplates on offer, too, such as Tatra, Monica, Moretti, Matra, Alvis, Imperia, and Villard.

Old slate: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 S Cabriolet
We were talking, a few posts ago, about the search for originality in collecting, and here we have a Cabriolet popping up in a non-exceptional condition, but certainly original.
Speaking of the condition, we notice that the car doesn’t appear to have been restored in appearance. In fact, it seems completely original in every part, especially in the interior which, unfortunately, needs to be…

Faded black: 1953 jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
The color is black and now opaque while the interior is red: a very nice combo color even if, unfortunately, not original.
In fact, the seller says that, according to the certificate of origin, the original color is Lavender Gray, a color that does not contrast the red as much as black and yet it is nevertheless a rare and very particular color. but the beauty of this car is that it is a typical…
