The Palmen Barnfind Collection !

The incredible trove, which comprises no less than 230 classic cars, was amassed over a period of 40 years by Dutch collector Ad Palmen.

Mr Palmen worked as a car dealer in the Netherlands in the mid-1960s before eventually starting his own collection with a yellow Lancia B20. He stored his ever-expanding hoard in three separate locations—two warehouses and a church—away from the prying eyes of the curious (and other auto enthusiasts).

It was only when Palmen became ill with dementia late last year that his executors came across what is now considered one of the best-kept secret collections in Europe.

Hailing from marques the world over, the rarities illustrate Palmen’s refined taste and discerning eye. The haul includes coved classics from Italy (Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, and Ferrari), France (Facel Vega), Germany (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and NSU), the UK (Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Rolls-Royce), and America (Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Ford). 

There are rides from more obscure nameplates on offer, too, such as Tatra, Monica, Moretti, Matra, Alvis, Imperia, and Villard.

Old slate: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 S Cabriolet

We were talking, a few posts ago, about the search for originality in collecting, and here we have a Cabriolet popping up in a non-exceptional condition, but certainly original. Speaking of the condition, we notice that the car doesn’t appear to have been restored in appearance. In fact, it seems completely original in every part, especially in the interior which, unfortunately, needs to be…

You bet! What kind of Saab do you own? I'm currently proud owner of three 9-3's. Cheers back across the internet!

Today Blue Sheep turns 24. It's funny, a few years ago I couldn't imagine even wanting to drive a car, let alone enjoying it. Now, this lovely old Saab means so much to me, and I couldn't imagine going without. Driving with the top down on these warm summer days brings me so much joy. And being able to improve and repair her with my own hands gives a sort of intimate satisfaction. Over 1,5 years and almost 25,000 kms together now. I hope for many more.

Happy birthday you beautiful machine.pho
