Brunei Collection
Discussion
I was watching a video on YouTube earlier regarding F1's and it mentioned the 7 that are still locked away in the Sultans collection, along with several special F40s.
Had anyone ever had a proper look around his collection and is there any chance of these cars ever seeing the light of day?

The Brunei collection fascinates me. What I'd do to get a look in those garages.
Unfortunately, the Sultan has no need or desire to open them up for people to have a look.
Those that have had access have had to sign very binding confidentiality documents. There's been a few leaked photos and some stories, but nothing more.
The concern is that, living under quite a strict regime, the people of Brunei wouldn't be very impressed if footage of millions of dollars-worth of cars came to light that have been left to ruin when that (state) money could have been spent more wisely.
I doubt we'll ever see the collection, which is a shame to say the least.

as they have some of the highest standards of living in the world and pay no income tax I doubt that's a huge concern.Unfortunately, the Sultan has no need or desire to open them up for people to have a look.

I seem to remember reading he sold off quite a few when his younger brother (who had a yacht called t***s) got embroiled in an international scandal.

That yellow F1 was sold out of the collection a few years ago, I believe, and at least one of the RHD F40s too. The blue Cizeta and BMW Nazca were advertised for sale for ages a while ago, from a dealer somewhere in Eastern Europe IIRC.
Talacrest seems to have someone in the know with the collection. Gameface said:
And Rolls Royce at times, I'm led to believe.
My uncle used to go out there a couple of times a year back in the early to mid 70’sHe had a Rolls shop and was quite involved with some of the special conversions
When he went out there he would spend a month going through all the cars to sort out all the niggles
On one occasion I remember him telling a story where one of the aids came back to the palace in a flap as he had crashed a Rolls into a ditch,the advice was to get another one ordered to replace it

The grey RHD F40 is currently at DK Engineering. williamp said:
Imqgine all of those coming onto the market at the same time. It would kill the values!!!
The fear is that a lot of them have been left to rot and are in various states of disrepair.During the 90's, there were teams of mechanics and engineers despatched to Brunei to keep on top of maintenance for the fleet.
That appears to have been stopped since Prince Jefri's misdemeanors came to light.
