They obviously have an emotional attachment to them, so until it becomes an issue with keeping the lights on or food on the table i really don't see the problem.

It's a fine line between letting them keep what they have emotional attachment to and being a hoarder. In this case, in my opinion both have crossed the line.
One of the car's may be the first car he bought or was given to him by his deceased parents, but to have 5 cars where only 1 of them is legal is drive is excessive. The other person is worse with 15 bikes all bought used and 4 cars.
I can understand if the cars/bikes were dream vehicles of theirs when they were young and now they have the means to aquire their dream vehicles, but AsianXL is right about it being excessive.
At some point if they refuse to listen and it isn't a health or safety hazzard, then you may just have to let sleeping dogs lie and let them have their "toys" and just enjoy the time you have left with them. Life is too short to let such trivial things come between everyone.
