No he hasn't. there is more parking spaces inside his palace that can fit triple the amount of cars he owns.

I just think that's wrong, spending so much money on cars when people in his country are dying because of lack of food! He has many examples of the same car, and doesn't need them, I just don't understand why he would do that. He has more money than sence!

You are right though about the cars, but that is stupid to say that people in his country are dying cause of lack of food. seriously man, if you been to Bunei, you will never see poor people walking on the street begging for money or homeless people for that matter! There is NO TAX, FREE EDUCATION, FREE MEDICINE, OIL IS WAY CHAPER THAN UR COUNTRY, and best of all, NO BIG CRIMES IN BRUNEI!!! I know this for a fact because im a BRUNEIAN and food here in Brunei is plenty. so BACKOFF!!!

Re: List: Sultan of Brunei's complete car collection

His F50, one of the few RHD's (if not the only) F50 in the world was been auctioned by Coys in England. The car has many special features, and was owned (confirmed) by the Sultan.

Links: Coys : 1996 Ferrari F50 - Right Hand Drive

Coys


On F-Chat we were unsure if it had sold, but a member claims to have seen it at Verdi Ferrari, so were pretty sure it was.

If anyone knows any more, please share Dont know if this has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread

Talking Re: List: Sultan of Brunei's complete car collection

As others have said, Brunei's native population live a fantastic life - there is no poverty. The minimum wage is something silly like over $80,000 a year. There is NO unemployment - everyone is found something to do.

The best bit is the education - you can study at any college or university you want, anywhere in the world, and all study & living expenses are paid for by the government.

I can't remember which country most come from, but the immigrant labour aren't so well paid, but, the wages they do get are much better than in their native country & if I remember rightly, they all get free education & health.

About the cars... how ridiculous you might think, and I'd agree, but, the Sultan has a huge extended family & massive entourage, most of these cars are driven regularly by many different people. There was a documentary on the BBC years ago, the Sultan has very few cars which he only drives - we talking the serious exotica stuff, but the rest are available to any of his massive inner circle. We are talking over a thousand family, friends, guests, personal staff & security and senior officials all over the world, who have access to his various international car pools...

...remember, these cars aren't all in one place, he has many many homes, or should I say palace's, all over the world, and many cars at each place.

Bentley have 20 or so engineers permanently based in Brunei just to look after his Bentley's !!!

Like others have said, this list is way old - he has much more than that now.

So, while I can't pretend to comprehend the life-style, reasoning and motive behind this seemingly bizarre situation, if the documentary I saw is anything to go by, the vast majority of these cars aren't really in a private collection, they are a part of the world greatest international car-pool, for the fortunate chosen ones.

M, UK.

PS...

Sultan, ooops, sorry Sir, I was forgetting protocol, I should say your most kind & generous Majesty.

If you or one of your 'people' are reading this please feel free to track me down and give me a small or large cheque.

Your Excellency, I will be more than happy with what ever life-changing amount you decide is appropriate.

Sincerely,

Your loyal English servant.

Mark.

- thanks
