Here is a list of the inventory, which isn't fully complete by the way. For example the Figoni Simca is missing, but still quite impressive.....

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)
