    Mark my words, a close friend outfitted this guys 747 private jet with interiors, furnishings, plates, solid gold flatware…you name it. This was in the late 90’s. They deliver the jet after it’s finished on a private island of his, and he isn’t there isn’t on the runway. An hour late, the Sultan rolls up on a Harley wearing cut off jean shorts and a dirty t-shirt that says “I’m the boss” on it. He loved the finish out on the 747, said thank you, then blasted off up the trail on his Harley leaving all who worked years on his plane standing there in awe.

    I worked for a family a few yrs back that has a fine car collection...Bentley's, Morgan's, Porsche's to name a few.
    One of which was a Ferrari F355 that my employer boasted that he purchased/traded with the Sultan and from the said deal gained the dream Ferrari for the collection... Was never to sure if it was true but hey...
    Stunning example though, black on black on black.. Was definitely a special one thats for sure.
    Personally I was more into the white 1985 Porsche 911 turbo parked next to the F355 at the time.

    They’re not in a jungle as you can see, but some are kept outside. Some have never been driven but he has mechanics on the payroll to look after all the cars. The bespoke 456’s are all known as the Venice, and he had plenty of other one off Ferraris including the Bolide which is based on the F50. A lot of the old Rolls Royces had twin turbo conversions and I read that he didn’t purchase anymore Rollers after the BMW takeover in 1998 but that’s not a great loss as he had 300 of the things at that point! Bespoke Astons built by Pininfarina were made (these are called the AM2/3/4), and loads of other things including bikes and ex f1 cars.

    You have missed an original GT3, an entire collection of original F1 cars that were literally as the driver got out after the last race. I was lucky enough to have a few minutes to look at some and they were entirely unrestored. Ages ran from mid 80's to the end of the 90's. There was a warehouse full....... At one stage the Antonov heavy lift plane was taking 7 or 8 Rolls Royces a month out there.

    I worked on the interior design of the Sultan’s Gulfstream jet back in the 1980’s. My role was minor. I was modifying the electrical diagrams and harnesses based on the customization requirements. I recall that he had a bulkhead door that was split in the middle and had hand carved jade handles that slid open and down. He also had sconces on the walls that had verses from the Koran. Gulfstream in Long Beach did beautiful interiors.

    been facinated by this collection for years. You guys missed one major point, that most of the cars are according to many sources online at least, owned by the Sultan's Brother, Prince Jeffri - the Brunei Playboy. I'll leave you search online about his 90s antics. Few other bits - One of the silver Ferrari 456 wagons (we call them estates in the uk) lives in London and is regularly spotted. The Grey Ferrari F40 with the red pin stripe was imported into the UK and sold by DK Engineering. It was repainted back in its original Rossa Corsa, and then in 2019, it was restored back to the Brunei spec satin grey and red pin stripe finish. It has electric windows and a raised headliner for taller drivers. A car buyer travelled over there years ago and commented on the 'sea of Mercedes' where many of the more vanilla cars of the collection were left outside In the extremely humid conditions, and commented on the leather of steering wheels melting off into the footwells, the article is still available on Jalopnik. The cars were housed in 5 multi story style car parks, and the exotic counter parts (i.e the F1's, 962's, F40's, XJ220s, Several ex 80/90's F1 cars etc) were housed in a glass showroom style building which was air conditioned to preserve them. in the 90s when the money was still flowing, there was a full time team of servicemen looking after the collection before the money dried and lots of cars were sold off or simply left. According to the car buyer who went there, many of the collection are difficult to purchase because accessing the collecting is near impossible, but many cars don't come with official log books (or ownership titles in the US) rendering them unsellable insome cases. There was also a rumour that during the 90s, a Rolls Royce Silver Seraph was left running full time, 24/7 within the set up, to allow the Sultan or the royal family a quick escape in the event of any emergencies. I could go on all day so il stop here but... the collection absolutely boggles the mind.

    I have a family member who actually valued other items and gave advice on the car collection.
    I can say 10000% for sure that in the early 2000's most of the cars were in very poor condition. At the time most were stored by colour in massive hangers that did NOT have humidity control systems. Bruni is a tropical climate and humidity is a issue. As such the interiors of almost all of them were mouldy and had much more rust than you would expect.
    I have seen images from then and can tell you it is an over the top collection and he also had a Batmobile that shot a flame thrower like in the movies along with others but being a kid at the time that's the one I remember the most.
    Not to say he has not fixed his collection now and storing them better but I can say this for the early 2000's for sure no doubt. So I can only guess what they would be like by now but I feel not very good still so have to say I think the value would be a lot less than the very fair and reasonable guesstimate by you guys. Keep up the interesting clips guys
