Oh dear, that is horrible. Most of them seem to be LHD, but from all over the place. Do we know where they are? Most seem to be in the same place - is it Portugal? I did hear of an American leaving a huge collection there.

But an F40, ffs!

Terrible.

I'm consoling myself in thinking that some of them are under restoration.

Sad or may be they were driven that hard they ended up like that!

The F40's fake but tvr looks as if it could be saved.

Shame on some owners.

tvr pics are from the factory after it closed. purple one was never a functional car, just a motorshow mockup of the speed 12, the bodies are brand new but never built sagaris's and the white one was based ont he 80's "wedge" and was known as the "white elephant". the f40 and other dust covered cars are stored at the Al-Qusais scrap yard. Oh, and most of the lambos and the pantera are from the sultan of brunei's collection. They were either cars he was bored with or were earmarked for restoration about 10 years ago when he had his little falling out with his spendaholic brother prince jerry who actually bought all the cars. Since jerrys out of the picture, no cars have been added to the collection and many have been neglected like these.

Well, he's enough of a petrolhead to consider approaches, I'm sure. I don't know how, but I'm sure, by the six degrees of separation rule, someone will...

Sad..... :-/

It's nice to think that some will be restored back to their former glory. Shame that they all dont have that chance.

So sad, except for one that thoroughly deserves to be there! :D

Only Americans would see it as a classic car!
