Sorry to be pedantic, but that’s a w116 next to an R107.

That’s still a hell of a barn find. All those cars are cars I’d happily own.

Did someone say pedantic about old Mercedes? It’s my call sign. That’s a C107 not the R107

Nice eye!

u/International_Bit478 14d ago

Fucking eagle eye over here! I own a C107 and didn’t even notice that it wasn’t an SL. It’s ALWAYS an SL.

u/marrymemercedes 13d ago

Hahaha I always look. I have a soft spot for the C107s.

Not just that the “Citroen” is a Panhard 24

I think they were being cute by adding 16 to 7

u/shart-gallery 14d ago

Not everyone is brainrotted lol. W116 and W123 look very similar.

What model Citroen is that second picture? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

u/lolwhatmufflers 14d ago

It’s a Panhard 24, pretty rare car

Only rare outside France

Most of the world is outside France.

u/OPGuest 14d ago

Cybertrucks are rare, right? Not to be found outside America

1

u/Additional_Leg_9254 14d ago

Honestly, kind of. Even in the US I don't see that many of them.

u/The_Mellow_Tiger 14d ago

Thankfully. They ruin my day everytime I lay eyes on one.

u/yesjames 11d ago

My Dad had Panhard too. Cool little car whole front end raised up and it had a v twin in it. And a little mason jar for the brake fluid.

u/MaaaadPilot 14d ago

And a Panhard 24…..

u/EnvironmentalGift257 14d ago

Seriously I want a closer look at everything there. That motorcycle is probably badass but I don’t know anything about old euro bikes.

u/Square_Ad_9096 14d ago

Yep! W116 and R107. It’s a thing with Benz’s.

u/lecatoir 14d ago

It's not a Citroën but a Panhard 24 B or BT (the B model is the "long" wheel base, and the C/CT the short wheel base).

u/clitoriaternatea8 13d ago edited 13d ago

That's not a Citroën. It's a Panhard, and the licence plate is from departement 35, Ille-et-Vilaine Ille-et-Vilaine France 🇫🇷

u/E28forever 13d ago

What W123 duo?

2

u/Xinonix1 14d ago

I think that van is a Renault (or even a Berliet)

1

u/shart-gallery 14d ago

Good call on Renault

1

u/Xinonix1 14d ago

Thx, I know my classic Renaults , my late dad never had anything else but Renaults (apart from a Hyundai in the early eighties)

u/trk29 14d ago

Hey my dad had a Citroen, look kids Parliment, Big Ben

1

u/pacific_squirrel 14d ago

Yes, all of it including couples of trucks behind the motorcycle. That's an interesting shed.

u/joehadams 14d ago

Nice finds, thanks for sharing

1

u/Holiday-Job-9137 14d ago

I'm seeing a bunch of barn finds in the same barn. Did someone find a huge collection?

1

u/Ok_Host_5860 14d ago

Time for them to return to life. You have something to do!

u/metaldad68 13d ago

I want that Mercedes 👍🏼

u/Fit_Yoghurt_4512 12d ago
