When France’s Blenheim Gang went to the home of Ecurie Europe in a small rural village, they found a team preparing classic sports cars to very high standards in time for the Le Mans Classic. But after shooting the main feature, they had a peek in the barns surrounding the workshop, and found a further treasure trove of forgotten race cars. In one corner a Porsche 935 soaks in a ray of sunshine…

…while a Lola T280 sits forlornly under a shroud of dust.

Outside, a Peugeot 905 peeks out of the darkness.

And what’s this? Looks suspiciously like the 1992 Le Mans-winning Peugeot 905 of Yannick Dalmas, Derek Warwick and Mark Blundell to us. Can anyone offer us a better barn than this?
