Recently a huge collection of 230 classic cars was discovered in the Netherlands. Although several car lovers already knew about this collection, it now has been published in the media after 40 years. There are many rare cars such as a Monica and an Alfa Romeo 2600 SZ, furthermore several Maseratis, AC, Facel Vega, Ferrari, Lancia, Lamborghini, Avanti, Bentley etc.

The barnfind car is  a Figoni Filante, based on the Simca 9 Coupé de Ville. It started life as a blue specimen. Any information about earlier owners, registration and other documentation  is very wellcome (in a PM to me)
