unbelievable discovery in Cologne/Germany
Today my brother sent me a couple of picture and I'm honestly blown away.
He was going for a walk in Cologne when he came past an old "train shed" and as curious a he es is, he looked through the window and was expecting a pile of scrap but instead found this..........
I can see two F1s from the 70s and it looks there might be one from the 50s plus birdcages, GT40, Ferrari etc..... WOW. Any idea what this is . A collection, the storage of a dealer I haven't heard of. I don't want to tell where they are located just in Cologne. And for their value they could have been a bit saver stored away...still WOWed

The green car on the right looks like a '60s Ferrari 250 SWB.

Re: unbelievable discovery in Cologne/Germany
Right click the pic / links -> open (image) in new window -> works. It's the old ssl certificate issue we've mentioned several times
Anyway, I can see what seems like a 312Tx series and a 250 type GT from Ferrari. If that is indeed a 250 SWB - that is very very high on my list - if it's even a competizione, there are only two cars above it (F40, 917).

Re: unbelievable discovery in Cologne/Germany
Thanks. Now I can see.
Re: unbelievable discovery in Cologne/Germany
One of those supposed Bernie’s barns?
I mean... people able to own a 312T series car, let alone two, let alone the rest... can be counted with one hand fingers...
And should be people in Ecclestone league. Or Schumi ‘s
Btw I count also a naked Ferrari 246 and kinda a 500F2 thru the window of the 250SWB spotted by Eric.
Hmmm those 312 T2 end plates look strangely thick
Re: unbelievable discovery in Cologne/Germany
That`s insane!!
I would give my right arm to get in touch with the owner only to get pictures from the cars, expecially without cowling on.

Re: unbelievable discovery in Cologne/Germany
I did some research and I think it's a well known person for restoring and running vintage racecars...

This must be the person but unfortunately there is no website or anything, maybe he is famous enough Will definitely visit his store and take a closer look. I'm a bit jealous of my brother....imagine looking through a window and discover THIS
