Automotive barn finds are exciting for the thrill and surprise of the hunt. Of course, you’re far more likely to find a rusting Chevy under a tarp, but there’s always that chance to scoop up a forgotten Porsche or Shelby for a song. That aspect makes the massive Roger Baillon Collection so bittersweet. There were so many great classics sitting under an open shed in France, but they were there so long that many of them became just bare husks. Ahead of the February 6 auction in Paris, auction house Artcurial has released descriptions and images of the entire 59-car hoard.
While the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider and 1956 Maserati A6G 2000 Gran Sport Berlinetta Frua remain the stars, there are a few surprises among the bunch. The original announcement makes no mention of several modern Ferraris – at least compared to the rest of the collection – among the lots. They include a thoroughly beat 1982 308 GTSi without headlights and portions of the paint gone. There’s also a 1988 Mondial Cabriolet that looks good on the outside, but Artcurial says needs a mechanical overhaul. A rather attractive gray 1978 400 GT is in similar condition.
Scroll through the gallery above for the names and price estimates for all of the vehicles in the collection. If there’s one you’re particularly interested in there are even more photos and full descriptions in Artcurial’s auction catalog. Also check out the video below to see what some of these classics looked like before they were hauled out of Baillon’s lean-to after years of sitting in decrepitude.
