Hans van der Plujim from Classic Car Auctions in the Netherlands is auctioning around 240 classic vintage cars worth several hundred thousand euros each. The collection once belonged to Palmer Barnfind, a secretive collector who sold the automobiles due to his age and medical reasons. Nico from Dealer Gallery Aaldering became the owner of the collection a few months ago. Palmen stored the dusty old cars in a disused church and two dusty warehouses. The car collection has brands like Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Ferrari, Facel Vega, Aston Martin, and Jaguar. The online auction will end on June 7. Here are some classic cars from The Palmer Barnfind Collection by Gallery Aaldering.
