Voisin Type C7 Travel Berline of Louis Galle car is displayed during a preview for an auction of vintage cars Retromobile show in Paris after a treasure trove of classic cars was discovered after spending 50 years languishing in storage on a farm. 60 rusting motors, which include a vintage Ferrari California Spider, a Bugatti and a very rare Maserati, were found gathering dust and hidden under piles of newspapers in garages and outbuildings at a property in France. The cars were collected from the 1950s to the 1970s by entrepreneur Roger Baillon, who dreamt of restoring them to their former glory and displaying them in a museum, but, his plans were dashed as his business struggled, forcing the sale of about 50 vehicles, to be auctioned off on Feb 6.
