unbelievable discovery in Cologne/Germany

Post by daniel »

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.

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).
Cheers,
Roman

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
One of those supposed Bernie’s barns? :D
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 :roll: 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

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. :lol:
Take a stand!

I did some research and I think it's a well known person for restoring and running vintage racecars...
https://curbs-magazin.com/cars/2018/08/ ... ri-312-b3/

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 :)
