Car Collector's Delight

Apparently a bloke decided to extend his retirement income by buying a property in Portugal. It was a nice place, except for a really ugly barn blocking the view. The doors were welded shut. The previous owner died without issue and the place was being sold by the government to pay back taxes. Anyway, he could afford it and thought he would just knock down the ugly barn.
Here is a pictorial record of what he found inside:

You can never tell with the net, but it looks pretty real to me.

An Apology For Wasting Your Time

Sorry, guys. I had a graphics person check it out and he said probably original.
And I guess I would not have sent it, had I not seen a very similar display with motor bikes in Victoria.
I apologise.
But having seen the bikes it looked possible to me.

My old man just emailed it to me! I didn't have the heart to send him here.

Hey Andrea, where abouts in rural NSW are you?

Just think AWJ next time around you get to play "Goof on the Portugal Barn Find Thread Starter" As you can see it's really, really fun!
