Dont know about the others, but I have an old superclasics magaizne from the late 80s with the same picture. A hoarder from tsomewhere in France, they were oved to another, unknown location after the auction houses cottoned on. There were several Bugattis too.

I will try and scan in more images. I hqve often wonder what happened to the hoarc. Whether they wrr finally restored/rescued, or whether they were too far gone by the end
Wasn't there a major board in France a year or two ago, went to auction? This one, though there might be better pictures elsewhere: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/...

They could, but I think their roots are too deeply embedded in cars.

Maybe not yet a classic (or ever!) but this old C180 was destined for the scrapper this week..
Been stood for three or so years but apparently ran fine before being parked up.
Quite a hefty advisory list on the last mot which almost certainly hasn't been seen to!
Anyway, bought it as it was cheap enough. Needs a battery so will try and get it running at the weekend.
I'd have bought that just for the wheels laugh

I could do with a couple of wings for my C43 estate as well....

Probably just needs a set of tyres.

Really not cheap on those original alloys.
