The Lost & Found Collection

RM Sothebys is auctioning off the “Lost and Found Collection” this week in Monterey, and there is a lot of excitement about this group of cars. Ferraris Online’s founder, Mike Sheehan, sold a few of the cars from this collection back in the 80’s. Amazing Ferraris such as a California Spyder, 206 SP, 312 T4, and 512M. There are some incredible cars in this collection coming to auction this week, but we wanted to tell the untold story and show some never before seen photos of the cars that have already been sold.

they have all been great shows but that was the GREATEST

Great to hear the background on some of these cars. I miss your podcast with the other stories Mike has from over the years with acquiring cars. With the 1954 500 Mondial Spider, the buyer of the crumpled frame, can get the factory to recreate the body panels, engine, gearbox, trim etc? All those jigs and patterns still exist there? Amazing.

Racing cars get banged up normally, and many have been partially or totally reskinned. The chassis is repairable and if they don't have the original body bucks they can recreate the body from photos and measurements of original cars.

Interresting story. 🙂 And i just love the dog, peeping through the window in the back.

[@cobra1010]

Thank you for sharing all this information! This is increadibly interesting!

[@TCE63]

Another great family sit down! Might be my favorite so far. Your dad’s history with that collection and insider commentary of Walt is priceless. The pictures supporting the story should be framed on a wall as art. :). Seeing the only raced F50 would be nice- we unfortunately will not be there.

[@V111HRD]

Wonderful video. Thankyou 👍

[@benzina5917]

An outstanding exchange with some really charming banter between Father and Daughter. Well done.

[@MichaelJames-lz7ni]

Walter Medlin stories always fascinated me - the guy's "collection habits" were those of a reclusive, eccentric hoarder.

[@daleshisler2955]

Great info on the cars. Interesting to hear the thoughts on possible sale prices and restoration costs vs. likely restored value. Enjoyed the video.

[@ZondaF355]

These are the stories that are of the utmost importance of bringing the next generation into knowledge. Excellent stuff

[@adamluke1289]

Great stories!

[@aeolus75]

Lovely stories about this collection, good luck for the F50. Cheers from Paris

[@billswim]

Just walked by the display. Looks great

[@mikecarpenter4760]

Never mind the torn pants comment! This is good stuff. Please tell more stories😉

[@jamesbambury]

Love listening to you and your dad talking about cars, I am a little late but the last time I was this early Colleen was still trying to make a 575 super America roof work!! Where is your Merch collection these days?

[@stanleycarpenter1521]

Your dad is a incredible well of knowledge and a fascinating man.

[@lips5913]

Love the videos Colleen, but you need some new trousers. Those ones have holes in!

[@pile333]

Amazing memorie of amazing cars! The only F50 that actually raced?! Oh, a unique piece! Wow!

[@carza355]

I think Mike needs to write a book, these stories are amazing.

[@roverwaters3875]

that 410 superamerica is the jewel

[@supersonique001]

Wow! As soon as I saw the pics it jogged my memory of an article I saw in the 1991 Road and track special magazine I have and an article by Bill Warner about a Walter Medlin ! I do believe these are the same cars?! Great history and nostalgia! By the way, is Mike well? or has he been ill? Hope all is well, greetings from Ottawa.

[@MichaelJames-lz7ni]

They look IDENTICAL to the Walter Medlin stash.....

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

The fact that he remembers the serial numbers is amazing!

[@putoutmyfirewithgasoline1877]

Mondial sold for 1.8 million! Was a good estimate 👏🏻

[@user-ji2nh4yf4t]

the nicest greetings from the beautiful lake Balaton to you,who more are knowing about the prancing horse as Enzo himself-with the best wishes for health and family-harmony for you,your girl and the whole Sheehan- family

[@dusty7264]

What is the name of this guys shop?

[@damnsilly666]

That poor 500 mondial. It's sad to see that car in such a sad state.

[@michellepetty769]

IRS has nothing to do with Walter selling of the cars. I know him personally he was ready for the cars to go to good homes. Well did not even need the money. But great story.

[@jeffholley454]

Great way to try and keep the prices down so you can buy the rest. Hope your not in trouble for slandering the dead guy. Rest in peace...

[@Jessiejam-44]

Nice Jeans. Cant You afford some Decent pants… a Little Class would be Nice.

[@leeholland5827]

[@mikecarpenter4760]

Maybe the money from KZbin can help you buy pants

[@user-427.commodore]
