They are getting scarce, but if you have the right contacts you might still be possible to come up with a truly great barnfind. Swiss classic car dealer Christoph Grohe must have such friends as he found not only one but TWO really grand cars: how about this 1930 Bugatti and 1934 Voisin! Both were put to rest in a garden somewhere in the south of France, but unfortunately were not exactly protected against the elements. The seller had inherited both cars from his father who seemed to have bought the Bugatti in the sixties. The Voisin, an Avion C24 Charmeuse which stayed with the same familly since new, was stored in a dry garage. The Bugatti, a 44 Roadster by Thietart of Paris, used to be covered by a wooden hut built for that purpose although over the decades the hut disintegrated. The Bugatti already found a new home, but the Voisin will be exhibited on the stand of Christoph Grohe at Rétromobile 2010. (photos courtesy Christoph Grohe)
