Treasure trove in Portugal?

[72EuropaTC]

Got this post from a Lotus forum.

A portuguese factory, doors welded shut for fifteen years.
You won't believe whats they found inside!

(large number of pics & slow-ish site)

My Portuguese is non-existent but the responses are pretty easy to the gist of.

More pics later in the thread.

That literally makes me feel sick. I really don't know how people can do that!! Taht machineary is all valuable, and there r some amazing cars in those photos. The lotuses and the TR4/TR5 are especially saddening. And the mercs, the lancias, the alfa's, its just astounding!!!

My god. What is wrong with some people?

One of the most distructive things you can do to a car is leave it in a barn for a few decades.

pretty far down the list
after driving it around as a minicab for a few decades, leaving it outdoors under a tree for a few decades, not to mention dumping it in the sea, setting it on fire, crushing it etc

Looks maybe a tasty auction coming along soon

If you were going to collect cars you'd maybe want to be able to walk round/move them, get them out once in a while maybe? These are so crammed in together it looks like they've been stashed away.

Looks a bit of a wierd place to me.

The pics have gone from the Spanish forum, but luckily somebody put up a mirror.

That is one amazing stash. The mother of all barnfinds.

I was frustrated the other day when I was unable to see the pictures on the Spanish site, but now am upset by the waste. The poor Alfas deserve much better. Does anyone know what the two single seaters are?
