Lots of very interesting cars including a number of Pagodas.
Should be interesting for gauging current market values.

Nice cars indeed, thanks for sharing!

It reminds me of a story that made the news here in the UK about 20 years ago. A RHD 540k (one of only 6 made) was discovered rusting away in a barn by a car dealer. The car dealer bought it from the owner for 30 thousand pounds and promptly sold it to another dealer for 100,000. The 2nd dealer put it into auction and got 1.2 million for it!

I believe it belonged to a butcher and was in the lock up garage next door, He then tried to sue saying the dealer had taken him for a ride,
No case to answer and it was thrown out of court, I bet that hurt

Seller beware ...

Some Pagodas did not sell and it appears that prospective buyers did not like modifications.
