Last week we reported about the amazing story of the Marcos Le Mans, that was found in Portugal by our editor Jeroen Booij. Just early yesterday morning the news came in from one of our clients regarding a barnkept collection, that when we date the find as 19 December quite possibly is the last find of the memorable year 2016.
Henny Kennis, who found the cars is the owner of Retrolegends, said 'What did we discover in this barn in the south of the United Kingdom? A most interesting line up of primarily Rolls-Royces that we are now trying to ship to our showroom before Christmas. All cars have been guest at this barnhouse for over 20 years. One car is bearing the ominous registration TLC, while - as you can imagine - all cars are in the need for some Tender Loving Care.
The cars were owned by the famous Greek composer Mr. Vangeles Papathanassiou, well known from "Chariots of fire". The RR Silver Wraith is since 1983 in his name. The other haven't been on the road since the early nineties. Now we are carefully recommissioning them presentable for future owners.
