Apparently there is a bit of a hoohaa going on at the moment as some collectors have made some comments that did not go down too well..!

Amazing Wonder why it was welded shut and forgotten about? Think we can all guess what the most popular answer is

What comments were made by collectors?

Awesome - Maybe the owner got buried in there when he died - Like the way Pharos in Egypt were buried with all their treasures etc. I'm planning on a similar thing. So far my collection includes a Puegeot 306 S16 and a P1. Only another 178 cars to get.....

I hear this guy bought the land cheap or at auction. Found that welded shut barn on it and opened it up to be greeted by that small collection
