Sultan of Brunei car collection

[[TW]Fox]

It's a very weird list.

He has, for example, approximately 15 1993 E34 530i's.

15 of them? Eh? Why would you have 15 1993 E34 530i's?

I think this list is very out of date, newest car on there is circa 1997-1998.

wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jay leno, eat your heart out

Jay Leno is a proper car guy though who uses and works on the cars. Most of these are just stored in warehouses never to see the light of day again.

 

[Housey]

Because he can is the answer you seek to why would he need/want x of y.

 

[Hxc]

He has lots and lots of custom one offs too, special bodied Ferraris etc.

It would make sense if that list included cars for his diplomats and such, then a fleet of 15 530i's would almost make sense. ALMOST.

 

[stulid]

perhaps its cars that have been owned and currently own, but the list doesn't reflect the fact that the old 530i's are long gone?

 

[Joshy]

Also, what's up the Vin's of the AC cars?

17 digit vins back in the 60s? Really?

 

[Muffin`]

I think that all of his diplomatic cars which, are all around the word are registered to him personally but obviously he can't use them.

Love the fact there was a special team inside AMG especially for him, I'd imagine it was the same at Bentley.

Really?

One cheeky citizen of Brunei took this photograph at an auction where he bought himself a BMW.

There are Bentleys for sale!

 

[G-MAN2004]

Yeah the list is pretty old, that's why I said it still shocks me after all this time. He's more than likely updated it by now.

"yes your highness, the MOTS have been done for the cars... here is the bill"

Pics of his cars.

Edit: I actually think his 456 Venice estate looks gorgeous, in a sort of hideous way, if that makes sense.

Interstingly a lot of the cars are UK registered - he has a BMW 850CSi on a 51 plate!

 

[mjt]

You see his cars sometimes out and about in London and Paris, I think they've been spotted once or twice in the Post Your Daily Encounters thread..

His palace is vast, and it's located just outside Bandar Seri Bagawan.
He's quite popular in Brunei as the locals have free healthcare, education, etc and don't pay a single penny in tax.
No booze though.

I went there last year, lovely place if a bit boring. The price of fuel made me cry though. I think it was about 20p a litre.

 

[DM]

Good to see he's a Jag man

 

[Ricochet J]

Imagine how many keys he has on his keyring.

 

[majestyk]

That list could well be out of date.

According to Wiki and Guinness World Records he has more than 600 Rollers, 450 Ferraris and 134 Koenigseggs.

How many of those will he have when they all hatch
