My wife and I were doing the cycle trails last winter, we called in to visit. While we were there he was searching on Trade Me for other cars to find, he told us he spends a few hours of his day looking for cars. I was very shocked with the condition of rare cars also magazines should be in a separate room not on bonnets collecting dust also allowing birds to shit on them ( birds are a major problem in the old chicken sheds.)
The tragedy of this collection the owner is no spring chicken, what will happen to everything when he passes on? Hopefully not the scrap heap. Some of the rare cars if restored could be very valuable.My wife commented he is not a collector, he is a hoarder.
