About a month ago, we published a short film showing a collection of rare automobiles left for dead in an open shed on a French estate, a video that ended up being the most viewed automotive post on our site in 2014. The former collection of entrepreneur Roger Baillon is making headlines once again just ahead of its February 6 action in Paris. The auction house Artcurial has released descriptions and images of the entire 59-car hoard, including its two stars: the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider and 1956 Maserati A6G 2000 Gran Sport Berlinetta Frua. For a complete listing, check out Artcurial’s auction catalog here.
