Did you like the posts about collections in barnfinds, the collections of cars that were found to have been neglected for decades? Well, here is another. In Belgium, and it's all Alfa Romeos


These are good photos, but there is another great set at http://timster1973.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/the-lost-alfas/ who says there are only 6 cars.




First it was the Sleeping Beauty collection of the Schlumpf bothers, then the welded shut collection of the variety of cars bought up by a collector when they were cheap, in Portugal. Now, this group of cars in a Belgian Castle. Cool world we live in, and interesting finds are still happening.

The original source website is dead. Well, it might just be having issues, but it doesn't seem to work. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/ and so I learned about this on http://sucksqueezebangblow-juice.blogspot.com.br who posted it a month ago

A couple photos are at http://www.wernerschijvenaars.nl/gallery/71988 but they aren't as good as these ones, and provide no info

Warehouse garage on Woodward Ave in Detroit, a car collection storage and servicing garage

Autoweek (one of my new favorite magazines) has an article about how a car collector bought a empty building in Royal Oak and transformed it to store his dozen cars, and then realized the demand for storage of collections was high in his area, so he sold memberships to his garage clubhouse. Good idea. It's about 250 a car per month http://www.woodwardwarehouse.com/
