A 40 year collection in Europe is up for auction. 230 cars including two 401's.Wonderful story of a very private collector who just kept buying until age caught up with him.

Fellow enthusiasts will no doubt have seen the long list of cars for sale in the Palmen Barnfind Collection auction. Bristol owners have been alerted because the sale includes two 401 cars from 1950 which look to be reasonably complete but in a bit of a mess.

Looking at the whole collection, I wonder what other cars you find interesting ? There are some very rare and unusual examples there. For me, I feel greatly tempted by the FIAT 130 coupés as useable but interesting. I’ve always fancied a Daimler 250 V8 as they’re said to go easily as well as the Jaguar 3.4 Mk. 2, but a good bit more interesting.

What do you think ?

There's also an AC Aceca Bristol. Looks in reasonable condition.
