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!

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.
