I suppose it depends on what deck they were on, did any water reach them and were they secured to the deck properly

Damaged luxury cars worth £30m taken off stricken ship

Luxury cars worth £30 million have been saved from a stricken car transporter.
Brand new Range Rovers were the first of 1,400 vehicles to be driven off the 51,000 tonne Hoegh Osaka, which is now moored back at Southampton Docks in Hampshire.
Jaguars and a £260,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith are on board the Singapore-registered Hoegh Osaka.
The huge vessel had been stranded in The Solent for almost for three weeks after she was deliberately grounded on a sandbank when a 52 degree list developed.
But experts disclosed today that only a small number of vehicles are expected to have suffered water damage.
Vehicles being removed from Range Rover Vogues/ Minis have been removed from Hoegh Osaka docked in Southampton. The vessel has 13 special order Bentley Goodwoods and a Blue Rolls Royce onboard Just after 9am this morning vehicles started to roll off the back of the The Norwegian-owned vessel has been towed safely back to port The cargo ship carrying millions of pounds worth of cars which has been stranded in the Solent for 19 days has arrived in port. The Hoegh Osaka was towed to Southampton Water Berth 101 by four tugs from a point between East Cowes and Lee-on-the-Solent. It took roughly three hours to tow the ship in. The vessel was run aground on Bramble Bank on 3 January after developing a list while on the way to Germany.
Porsches were among the damaged vehicles
All of the cargo, which includes the cars and other equipment, will be taken off the ship by the end of this week or early next week, according to Hoegh Autoliners.
A spokesman for Hoegh Autoliners’ Navigate Response said: ‘There is only limited damage to the cargo.
‘Most of the lashings held, and only a couple of pieces – large machinery – shifted.
‘Water damage only occurred on the lowest deck and on the one side the ship was listing.’
Only a small number of luxury vehicles suffered water damage
It is not yet known which vehicles were damaged by the sea water inside the ship.
Those which are damaged or do not start up will be towed off the ship.
The spokesman added: ‘Only preliminary checks have been made on the vehicles at this point. We will be coordinating with other companies, including manufacturers and dealers, to carry out a full assessment of the cargo.’
