You never know what you'll find in an old barn.
But in the Midwest, it's not unusual to find a stash of old automobiles. It's a popular place for collectors to hide their finds.
Such was the case for Jeff Begg. The late Marshall, Michigan, businessman hoarded vintage cars, motorcycles and parts at a rate nobody in his family suspected. After Begg, owner of machine parts manufacturer Marshall-Excelsior Corp., died at age 73, he left behind buildings stuffed with auto rarities — much of it purchased on eBay.
Now it's going back to auction June 15 in a one-day sale by VanDerBrink Auctions in Springfield, Michigan.
Begg particularly loved British motorcycles. In fact, he named his company after Excelsior Henderson motorcycles. The collection is heavily stocked with British bikes, 63 in all, including a rare 1952 Vincent Series C Rapide motorcycle.
