Lost and Found

[daveenty]

I don't speak Spanish, but a rough translation came up with this: -

A warehouse with 180 cars inside has been found in Portugal, this has been closed for 15 years with the doors welded shut so that nobody could enter.
Incredible collection and some lovely old mercs as well. (Not dial up friendly)

Lots of lancia's and other italian cars,saw a DKW (former BMW) Lotus and a few old yanks, looking at the white Lancia minus the grill and rather rusty,they got like that within 12 months from new.

Life is too short for all that work,never again, you can earn more money driving a bus than fixing those up, dont ask me how I know.

Incredible! I wonder how many of them will start?

 

[Stircrazy]

Thats right Hibbo!

First get the runners out for a Burn!

The humidity in Portugal is lower than here, many of the car look quite good, I would have thought that most of them will start, The chances are that you would have to charge the batteries When I bought the small Rolls Royce in ireland at had not been run for 27 years, I just primed the Autovac and it started on the magnito after 10 turns of the handle

Malcolm your comment about Lancias and rust jogged a memory of mine, i attended a training course at Renault UK at Acton W. London and next door were two massive car parks full to bursting with Lancia Betas that had all been bought back from their owners, due to the corrosion around the steering rack issue, by Lancia. Truly was amazing sight to see them all there in one place and most looked to be in extremely good nick belying what was simmering beneath :-(

Amazing, Take a while to clean up mind!
