The “Lost and Found Collection” was found thanks to Hurricane Charley tearing through the region where the vehicles were stored – let’s take a look at the models.

A gorgeous 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II was discovered in the barn, and is one of just 36 right hand drive models ever made.

The car was designed with power windows, silver blue paint and cloud blue leather interiors.

The 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB “Vetroresina” kept its striking red paint colour and has gorgeous tan leather interiors with black inserts.

A bright red 1991 Ferrari Testarossa is one of 266 models made for the United States, and offers dual side view mirrors and a state of the art air conditioning system.

One rarity is the sleek 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series I – one of only 124 models built before the introduction of the Series II models.

One of Ferrari’s Turin show cars was also found – the 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C Alloy.

It’s the first model that was fitted with a low-weight alloy racing body, and six carburettors.

The rare 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Speciale found in the rusted barn was owned by none other than Mohammed V, King of Morocco.

A racing specific model, the 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso, is one of the most unique pieces in the collection.

One of the more unique pieces in the collection is the shell of a 1954 Ferrari Mondial Spider Series I – rusted over completely.

There are a total of 20 Ferraris that were discovered in the garage, and all are expected to sell for prices between five and seven figures at the Sotheby’s Auction in August.

Earlier this year, twelve stunning Ferraris from a private collection sold for millions at auction.

Nearly half of them – 21 – are classic and modern Ferrari models dating back to the 1950s.

The centrepiece of the collection – being sold without reserve – is the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta by Scaglietti.

It was number 62 of just 165 ever made and featured in the 1968 film The Love Bug.

The 1956 Ferrari 500 TR Spider by Scaglietti came fourth in the 1957 Helsinki Grand Prix, and was only the third of 17 of the models built.
