An auction is coming up next week featuring what might be one of the ultimate barn-find collections. The collection features cars like the Lamborghini Miura, Jaguar E-Type, Porsche 356, Chevrolet Corvette, even a 1956 Lincoln Continental. In addition to the rare classics like the Miura, there are dozens of other classic European and American cars that were abandoned around the property in Tarbes, France.

In addition to the cars, several loose items like engines, parts, motorcycles, and other parts will be auctioned off. For more check out the auction listing HERE and enjoy the YouTube video that showcases just how expansive this abandoned collection of cars is.
