Default Treasure Trove of Classic Cars in Abandoned Barn?

http://www.geenstijl.nl/paginas/mirr...zda/index.html


Somebody on another message board I visit posted this link. Just wondered if you guys had any background on the story. There are a few sentences in English on the first post that explains the pictures.

Sorry the first link seems broken, here is another but the other link had many more photos.

Welcome to snopes. I don't think anyone would question that the photos are real.

None of the cars shown appear to be exceptionally valuable - but it looks like there is a lot of them (said to be 180). Some cars obviously have important missing parts - so they either were put inside in an "unlicenseable" condition, or were stripped for parts afterwards.

I'll take the Lotus Elan, please.
