It's not very often you stumble across a collection of vintage cars worth millions of dollars, especially on a family owned farm! 60 vintage cars from the early 1930's-1950's were found, just laying around collecting rust on a farm in western France. The rare collection once belonged to French transport entrepreneur, Roger Baillon.
Baillon's grandchildren are the lucky heirs, and they're planning to auction off the vintage car lot next year. Among the prized vehicles, is a Talbot-Lago once belonging to King Farouk of Egypt! The antique collection could fetch anywhere over £12 million, and will be up for auction in Paris on February 6th, 2015.
