Cars
The mystery of barn finds: abandonment syndrome or the joy of rebirth
Rediscovered relics: Forgotten cars resurface, leaving mysteries and memories in their wake. From stolen Dinos to extravagant gifts, these lost treasures defy time, sparking questions and tales of revival.
Hidden, forgotten, abandoned? It’s almost impossible to find the answer to the questions that arise when an important and valuable car is rediscovered in a heart-breaking state of decay. All theories are valid, as in the case of a plumber who, in 1974, marked his wedding anniversary with the purchase of a Dino 246 GTS. The car, painted in a rare and highly sought-after shade of green, covered only a few hundred miles after being bought before it vanished, stolen without a trace.
Dino chassis 07862 was nowhere to be found. The search was abandoned. Well insured, it turned into cash for the spouses who would preserve only the memories of it.
