WOW! :o
First time I've seen this, some rarities in there.
Allot that look eminently restorable and for those that are not they will be a treasure trove of rare spare parts.
Though I'm hoping most make it back to the road.
If they go up for sale or auction I hope I hear of it and am at a stage where I can afford something.....
But which, so much choice, so many desirable classics.........
If I had to pin it down to something from there I've always wanted a Humber Sceptre mark 1.....
On the Moggy side of things there's a van, a pick up, some 1000's and a couple of series 2's (a four door and a convertible)......
There's even a Morris Marina that looks restorable, how many are there left on UK roads, twenty-something???......
Thanks for posting this.
Best wishes,
Mike.
1954 Series 2: 4 door: "Sally" -- Back on the ground with (slave) wheels and waiting to be resprayed......
1970 Triumph Herald 1200: "Hetty" -- Driven back from Llangollen in Wales (twice.....)

If you Google MacLeod of Skye, there are a number of links which I think are references to this collection. I think there is a piece suggesting an auction house, (that incidentally features in a current tv programme) had been asked to get involved. I believe it was some while ago.

This is the actual link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zye8rD3U6V0

It's quite a find. There's also a very recent video of another collection found in Lancashire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c15t3ye93gk

How and why do people manage to amass such collections?

Yes the OP has given that link. My post was to hopefully give some further insight,
