"Found sheltering in a garage was one of just three Maserati A6G
2000 Berlinettas with coachwork by Frua, dating from 1956. And
then, beneath piles of magazines, they discovered something even
more exciting...a Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, with
covered headlights, a car whose first owner was comedian Gerard
Blain...Blain sold the Ferrari to actor Alain Delon, who was on
several occasions photographed at the wheel - accompanied, in 1964,
by Jane Fonda." Classic Driver. A Maserati A6G 2000 Gran Sport. A
Facel Vega Excellence. A Hispano-Suiza H6B. A Bugatti 57 Ventoux.
Alain Delon's Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider. Several
Talbot-Lago, Delahaye and Voisin - the list of classic automobiles,
forgotten for decades on an estate in Echire in south-western
France, is almost unbelievable. That was not what the owner, the
haulier Roger Baillon, had in mind. He intended to establish the
first automobile museum of France before financial setbacks forced
him to sell part of his impressive collection. What was left of his
dream, his descendants have now handed to other collectors. Before
the cars were auctioned in early 2015, French photographer Remi
Dargegen took pictures of the incredible "Baillon Collection". When
the photo sessions at Chateau Gaillard started, Remi Dargegen had
not expected to find such a huge treasure trove of classic
automobiles: "Unbelievable, just unbelievable. This place is
unique. What is most impressive, is the sheer number of cars that
were stored in the barns." That enthusiasm is reflected in his
photographs, presented for the first time in this book: Baillon
Collection. It is also the first publication of a "barnfind";
historically unique and outstanding in dimension.
