The mystery of barn finds: Alain Delon’s Ferrari 250 California and more

In the world of classic cars, there are moments that rival the adventures of Indiana Jones, the iconic cinematic archaeologist brought to life by Harrison Ford in Steven Spielberg’s films. To put this into perspective, just under a decade ago, a scene unfolded in western France that marked one of the most extraordinary discoveries in recent memory: the resurrection of approximately 60 cars that had been lost for over fifty years. This remarkable collection once belonged to the late businessman Roger Baillon, who was active in the transportation sector during the 1950s. Over the years, he had acquired more than a hundred cars, dreaming of establishing a public museum. However, after his death, the project was abandoned.
