After 15 years of abandonment?  One of the conditions of that type of real estate transaction is almost always "you also have to deal with any crap you find on the land - you buy the land, you buy the crap".  99.9% of the time that means disposal of trash.

You do a poor job maintaining your cars.

Well, they've been there for 25 years, probably.  It wasn't 50 years old when it was stolen.  Ambulances are commonly used in some countries as smuggling cars or getaway cars because no one questions a speeding ambulence with lights on.  In less affluent countries, really old ambulences are pretty common, too, since our old ambulences get shipped there when we're done with them.

The body on the Lotus would still be good if it didn't have infestations but would the undercarriage be any good anymore? 

BTW, I definitely agree that money could be made parting out, though personally I'd make a quick package deal with someone and have them take the whole thing away.

A lot of those cars do have plates but we have no way of knowing if those plates ever matched the cars.  They could be hot plates too.

the lotus will have a backbone chassis. i doubt it will have rusted much. i conceed some of those cars will be terminal because it looks like quite a bit of weather was getting in and so the cars with open windows could have had water sitting in the floorpans for long periods of time.

package sale would be an idea, but i would be inclined (and have more fun being involved in) to auction all the cars as is, except to giving them a quick clean. i reckon an average of 1000 (some heaps more, the vws and minis a lot less). theres a fun 180,000 smackers (",). bearing in mind it was a rural property in portugal, who knows maybe the whole block of land didnt cost that much!

ChadTower:

OTOH, if it's wine country, it may have cost 5x that much. 

I wonder how many of those engine blocks have infestations.
