An Incredible Collection of Vintage Cars Comes to Light in France

Each time it happens, we think it's probably the last. Then comes another incredible “barn find” of classic cars, and then another. It has to end sometime, but who know when?

The latest treasure to be uncovered comes to us courtesy Artcurial.com, and it’s in France. And the use of the word "treasure" doesn’t quite do justice to the unbelievable collection of genuine automotive classics going back many decades.

And who did they belong to? Pierre Héron, a French engineer and car enthusiast since his youth. He acquired some incredible models between 1965 and 1973, and drove them all until his health no longer permitted it. Héron died last year. All but one of the vehicles in the collection are French models, the one exception being a Spanish car dating from the 1920s.

The video showing it all, shared on YouTube, gives us an interesting insight into the collection.
