RM Sotheby’s unveils the ultimate ‘barn find’ featuring 20 Ferraris

RM Sotheby’s recently announced a once-in-a-generation collection of “barn find” Ferraris, aptly named The Lost & Found Collection, which will be presented during Monterey Car Week in August.

Nestled in downtown Speedway, Indiana, across the street from the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway, lies a treasure trove of dormant stallions that have remained untouched for decades, hidden away from Ferrari collectors, restorers, and the public at large, left to gather dust.

At first glance, an unsuspecting observer would never fathom that some of these lost Ferraris have graced the world’s most famous races, such as Le Mans, the Targa Florio and the Mille Miglia. Nor would they suspect that a Ferrari once owned by royalty rests silently in the heart of Indiana. One might naturally wonder how a collection of such magnitude could be consigned to the mercy of time in an Indiana warehouse — that answer lies in Hurricane Charley.
