The latest March issue of Auto Bild klassik presents itself with many current and interesting topics such as the Baillon barn find and what is really behind it. We have picked out the best articles and presented them briefly.
Find of the century - the true story behind the Baillon collection in France
When Roger Baillon's large collection was found in a castle in western France, the discovery was dubbed the barn find of the century. The whole thing was a sensation. Auto Bild klassik shows in an interesting and readable report that it was not all that unknown and that much of it was faked.
In keeping with the theme, there is a report in the magazine about classics under ivy, dust, corrugated iron and rubble, more specifically about barn finds. The guide also explains how, as an example of barn finds, a Ford Granada is rescued from its slumber after 15 years and reanimated.
Full throttle comparison - hot sports cars of the 90s
The German Porsche 911 Targa, the Japanese Honda NSX and the Italian Ferrari F355 GTS compete against each other. Who will win the race?
They last forever - five classics for life
When the "mileage kings" presented in this magazine were built, the emphasis was still on maximum durability. That is why models such as the Mercedes 190, VW Golf II and Audi 80 are among the most durable cars of our time. Auto Bild klassik presents five of these cars.
The road to the long-life car is the title of another article in the magazine that fits the theme. It presents Porsche's 1973 long-term car (FLA) research project. Incidentally, the "1989" model will be on display at the Porsche Museum stand at Retro Classics this March.
BMW price analysis - Why almost only the 70s models quickly become more expensive
BMW fans like to drive agile everyday cars from the "Prilblumen era" as well as fine roadsters and coupés that are a joy to drive. But that's not the only reason why BMW models from the 70s are more popular than others.
Further topics
The barn find theme is clearly highlighted in this issue, but there are many other reports, for example about a Mini with four doors, a story about the craziest model car collectors or a report about a classic car rally along the Great Wall of China in China, not forgetting a story about the vintage car-rich life of Halwart Schrader.
