The magazine Sports Car Market apparently wrote a story about this 
"find" recently.
It isn't a find at all.
The cars have been in the same owners hands for years and the photos 
were recently taken by a photographer hired by him.
Really, who wouldn't look in a building like this before listing a 
property for sale these days?
