Man buys farm, finds vintage cars

ok, so imagine you live in portugal and your moving house. you find a lovely farm house set in a decent plot of land. the place has been empty for 15 years!

whilst exploring your new property you find a large barn in the trees. the door is padlocked shut and its all rusted solid. so you grind the padlock open ......... Pics & the rest HERE

Nice find for sure.

I'd hate to think of the cost to make them run again. Leno would love these.
