DORDRECHT, Netherlands - More than 230 dusty old cars, including some classics worth several hundred thousand euros each, are being auctioned in the Netherlands after being stored for decades by a secretive collector, known only as Mr Palmen.
He never showed off his cars but rather kept them a secret, scared people might steal them, Nico Aaldering from Gallery Aaldering said. He described Palmen as "a hermit who enjoyed his cars every day", starting them regularly to keep the engines healthy. The collection, which Palmen used to store in a disused church and in two dusty warehouses, contains cars from brands including Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, Ferrari, Facel Vega, Aston Martin, Jaguar and many others.
