A Brussels barnfind by Bernard (update: how to define 'barnfind')

Many of you know Bernard Marreyt as an eclectic collector and very active dealer in the european scene. You'll always find him where the action is. So it didn't come as a total surprise that of all people he ran into this fine collection of vintage and classic cars. At first sight it almost doesn't look real. More like the month October in an American classic car calendar. Yet this is not the case, the location is very real. While Bernard usually will comb out the most remote locations in Europe for new finds, this time he could have taken his ATB bike to unlock this nearly forgotten collection. It's almost on his doorstep, just outside of Brussels. A picturesque location hidden by forrest surroundings. Have another peek inside before checking what Bernard has managed to drag out of the barn so far...


Update by Editor: Interesting to see/read how people react to the word barnfind (see comments). I think that Willem Mues is right. His collection will become a barnfind when you wait a few years after his demise and don't look after barn and collection. It is all a matter of how you define barnfind. Most 'barnfinds' as published in TV-programs and by auction houses are well known (collections of) cars. The only thing is that the cars involved were neglected for some time. Happy to hear more opinions.
