Very few of the cars were particulary expensive or rare 25-30 years ago -- especially in Europe. A lot of 4 cylinder sports cars that would have gone for under $1000 when they were about 10-15 years old.
Many of those cars were maintenance nightmares.
Also, European laws tend to discourage driving older cars, so some might have failed inspection.
Personally, I'm surprised there is any working electrical service within 10 miles of that barn -- considering the quantity of Lucas Electric parts. Just having that many Lucas products in one place should work like an EMP.

Dead on about Lucas parts!
