The Barn find of all times

Can't read Norweigen, but this is quite a barn. There are some Porsches in the mix...

http://www.geenstijl.nl/paginas/mirror/20070215-pritt-mazda/index.html

My friend that forwarded it described it as the following:

Pics of a barn found on the property after someone bought some land in Portugal dirt cheap. Takes a while for all of them to load.

at least they were kept individually covered and in tip top running shape it would be a shame to see those cars left alone in some brick wharehouse to just rot and get dusty

How did they get there? Mind blowing. There has got to be a great story to go with this. My Norwegian really sucks.

Really amazing. Something for everybody.
Wonder if they are going to clean them up and auction them off.

Actually - Porsche 911's are conspicuous by their absence.

What a bummer. You finally buy a place to store your cars, and you find the outbuildings are already full!

Now what's a guy to do?

There are a bunch of threads on this story. I forget if it is here or OT, but there was a link to a translation.

The Norwegian comments are pretty much the same as those in this thread:

Hola - they just refer to the barn find in Portugal in Norwegian - their comments doesn't give more facts about the story/find/the lucky people

Craig: "lol - probably not the only barn in the world that looks like that.....mine for instance.."

Too bad there wasn't more special Porsches - but what a deal!!
