The BBC reported today that an auctioneer brought in to assess a deceased millionaire’s property in Suffolk, England, made an “extraordinary” discovery of seven collectible vehicles including some of the finest marques produced in Italy and Britain from the 1970s to the 1990s.
The wealthy businessman who had not been named, had left the collection, some with less than 1000 miles on the odometer, to just gather dust on his rambling estate and used a Nissan 4×4 as his daily transportation. The barn find includes a rare Bentley Continental R Mulliner, one of only 46 made during four years of production, a 200-mph De Tomaso Longchamp GTSE, and a Maserati Quattroporte III.
The cars will be auctioned at Lacy, Scott & Knight on Saturday, March 13, 2010. The full story can be found on the BBC’s website.
