Hi Colin, As we often notice, a collection of vintage cars is the work of a single man. When he passes away,these unfortunate orphans may sink into oblivion ... Let's hope for the vehicles you show us today that after the time of dereliction wil come time of restoration !! I have never seen ,in France, such an "armada" of GRANADA'S, the automatic one with its immaculate inside fitted with a phone is a gem !! Nice footage as usual.

8:23 - Fiat 124 Sport Coupe model CC (third series - 1972-1975) ; 11:17 - Renault 16 (1965 - 1980), this particular model is I think circa 1974 onwards because it has plastic grill, and it is TA model because it is automatic ; 13:30 - Hotchkiss 864 Vichy from 1937 - gem 19:20 - Hotchkiss 686 from 1934 (not sure aboout exact model) - gem 20:52 - Renault 20 (1975-1984) 26:01 - Hotchkiss grill :) Everything else is more-less good known - Granadas, Renault 8 Gordini, etc Owner obviously was a Granada / Consul lover. Edit - all cars in France have had yellow bulbs from 1937 to 1993, that was the Law

Hello Colin, from Las Vegas NV. I enjoy your barn find car videos as a car lover myself. I know my american cars, but European cars I don't know much about. So seeing these Granadas for the first time, was a real treat for me. Those cars from the 1930's, fully restored, would go for over $100,000 each, easy. I'm guessing from the comments that this is located in France???

So i kept all of those. Sadly all sold now but they made separate earnings to all my sales of the cars. The Granada I remember as a mk1 coupé I could be very wrong but the ones I remember were all 3,2ltrs. Please don’t tell me off if I’m wrong.
