Top 10 Car News Stories Of 2023

“Barn finds” have become a big deal over the last 20 years, finding iconic cars left to rot in abandoned barns and storage sheds and then giving them new life with incredible restorations. But in April, Gallery Aaldering announced an auction that included one of the biggest barn finds ever – 230 cars found in an abandoned church and two other locations. The collection included vehicles from extinct brands like Alvis, Matra, Moretti, and Villard, but also iconic cars from Aston Martin, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lancia, Mercedes, and Rolls-Royce. Almost all the cars were being auctioned in their unrestored states, which fortunately didn’t mean rust, as all the cars had been kept in dry condition for decades.
