    Most of them, I should imagine, with a battery topup and general fettle.

    The 'barn' is hermetically sealed.

    Id love to get all those ALFA´s at my home, restore them and sell those that were doubles.. That would make enough money to keep the rest running for ages. :D

    Thats what I say.

    Many of those need little more than a good wash and a tune up to get them started agian. One of those smaller cars looked like a go cart for the roads. I want one of those.

    Sad. Those cars need some proper attention (i.e. restoration).

    i agree, surely if your going to spend your time and money collecting cars, atleast keep them in a fit state of repair!

    I aint no car expert but damn...... some of those are A. old, B. in need of a damn good wash 'n polish, C. in need of a lot of TLC after the years of neglect from this guy - whoever bought these cars and let them rot should be brought up in front of the beak! Crimes against humanity and crimes against automobile history!

    Oh come on its not that bad. You give one of those cars brand new to a daily driver, let him drive it for 20 years and put one in a garage. Obviously those are in better shape, than if they were driven. He has done the car community a favor a preserved this for decades.

    I doubt it's just a "collection", IMO, looks more like a chop shop. If it was a serious collector, he wouldn't have those cars packed in there like cattle & all dirty like they are.
