Thanks guys. It took decades of hard work, but mostly I did it by ignoring everyone's common sense advice that cars are a lousy investment. To answer some questions: I am in AZ, the floor is grey epoxy, the structure is 1,000 sq ft fully air conditioned and there is direct access in/out for all four cars | ||

Alex, Absolutely beautiful!! I love the Garage!! Do you mind me asking what part of the country you are in? If you are indeed in the U.S.? The cars are of course beautiful, but man, the garage is as much of a dream as the cars.......your floor looks like it has an epoxy coating over the cement? Geez, I'm very envious.  | ||

William, the automatic transmission is not the same as in a 456 GTA. At least the stick doesn't look the same. In fact, it doesn't look like Ferrari at all. I have the interior of this car on film. Maybe I can grab a picture out of it ... By the way, I was told by a reliable source (one of the "big guys" at Ferrari) that the car is a one-off, made by Ferrari for the Sultan. And it was NOT a prototype of the 550 Barchetta ... | ||

Bart, your question is certainly not rude. I guess I'm indeed a huge Ferraristi. After several years I know quite a lot of people in the Ferrari community (mainly because of my hobby about chassisnumbers, see www.red-headed.com/telaio) and I also visit quite a lot of Ferrari events. I go to most events of the Ferrari Club Nederland, but also to events in other European countries, like at Spa, Nurburgring, Hockenheim and Brands Hatch. I've been to the Formula One GP in Monaco eight times or so, not only for F1, but also for the fantastic cars you see driving around over there. Last year I saw around 200 Ferraris, 10 Lambos, 2 McLaren F1s, 2 Dauer EB110s, a Pagani Zonda C12S, 2 Spykers and dozens of other interesting cars. And yes, the 550 Spider was spotted in front of the Hotel de Paris in Monte-Carlo. I saw the protos at the Nurburgring when there was a nice private Ferrari meeting (the Uwe Meissner meeting, see Helmut's message somewhere else on FerrariChat). The meeting was on the normal track, but you could see the protos at the Nordschleife (the old track). Among the cars were the Maybach, BMW Z4, Lambo Murcielago, Mercedes E-class, Mini Cooper S, Porsche Cayenne and so on. Quite interesting to see all those "secret" cars! And the Cavallino Classic is certainly the most beautiful Ferrari event I've ever been too. I've been there three times, and I still LOVE it. Great weather (Florida is a LOT better than Holland in January!), fantastic cars, nice people ... just great. In the next issue of Gli Amici della Ferrari (the magazine of the Ferrari Club Nederland), there will be an article about this event. I'll try to send you a copy (it will appear late March I believe ...) Anyway, the conclusion is that you see a lot of the world when you're a huge Ferraristi ;-) (p.s. I will answer your email as soon as I can ...) | ||

Hi Najib, I agree with the preference on the exterior look of the 348 or 355 is purely subjective but the overall engine, transmission and suspension are definitely more refined in 355. The price difference for a 94 348 spider and a 94 355 GTB is no more than 20% in HK. | ||

Ernie you are doggedly trying to stick to the original topic in vain....Looks like the Sultan has hijacked this thread. Anyway I bought my 348 TS for all the reasons you mentioned...I love its looks, it is very good value for money and performance-wise is no slouch. As far as trim and materials used, I honestly could not see the great difference between the 348 and 355 that people talk about. In fact they share so many parts they look almost similar with many people commenting that the 348 actually looks the newer model. Plus without the Sultans wealth at my disposal, I could not see the point in spending twice the money for taking a half second off 0-60 times. | ||

Re the Sultan of Brunei -- it wasn't him (so much) that collected the thousands of cars; it was his brother Jefri. The scandal erupted a few years ago, and the Sultan ended up suing Prince Jefri. The case was settled three years ago. Is the Sultan poorer than he was, say, five years ago? Probably. Is he in dire financial straits? I dunno - is having $10-$30 billion dollars considered dire financial straits? Lastly, has his lifestyle changed? Sure. Since the scandals erupted, he's made a lot of changes -- as would any ruler whose subjects were not impressed by his behavior (or that of his family).

the 550 top folds up into the trunk much the same way the mercedes slk and new sl500 does. the trunk lid is similar to the existing barchetta but without the humps that follow inline with the headrests. it also has an automatic transmission, which i would assume is from the 456 gta, it is not a f1 style shifter. for the expense that pininfarina must have put into designing the hardtop, it is a wonder that more of these haven't surfaced. | ||

William, I agree with your statements about the 550 Spider. I guess I'm one of the VERY few persons who has seen this car in reality (see my short article in Cavallino a few months ago) and it indeed is a lot better than the Barchetta. Just one simple button, and a nice hardtop will appear. The only disadvantage is that there is (almost) no space for luggage ..... p.s. I'll try to post a colour pic of the 550 Spider later today ... | ||

Junior Member Username: Wspeer Post Number: 159 Registered: 8-2002 |
jonas, the sultan IS in financial dire straits. keep in mind, just because he has substantial income doesn't mean that he has such a high net worth as he once did - clearly, i don't think he will be on the side of the street begging anytime soon, but his lifestyle has completely changed from the ways of excess just 5 years ago. his garages are still in tact but are no longer his. most of his cars were used as official goverment vehicles and maintained accordingly, almost all of the cars he has will require a lot of work to make them road worthy. he does in fact have a least two operational mythos (or did) , one of which is blue. the 550 with the autobox and retractable hardtop is a black on black car and absolutely stunning, why ferrari didn't build this in place of the barchetta is beyond me. the cars basically sit in a locked wharehouse with pure neglect, however with that many cars, it becomes difficult to exercise them properly. the former ocean dumping has ceased and as the cars are being sold off, they are being repaired and once again made roadworthy, afterall, if you had access to a custom ferrari would you mind having to start off with fresh services and cosmetics? i don't know to much about the grey f40, but i do know the car you are speaking of. the sultan also had a yellow and a black f40 as well.in the next several months, you will continue to see cars enter the market that are formerly the sultans. chase bank is the major debter and the only thing keeping the cars from being seized and sold are the brunei government regulations - after all, it is good to be the king (or sultan). | ||
| Edvar van Daalen (Evandaalen)
Junior Member Username: Evandaalen Post Number: 85 Registered: 10-2001 |
I'm 100% sure that the grey F40 was really ex-Brunei. I know someone who has inspected the car while it was still in Brunei .... By the way, almost all cars leaving Brunei are in a bad shape. Technical problems, bad paint, bad interior seems to be normal. It seems like many cars where delivered, driven for a few thousand miles and then sold, without ANY proper maintenance ... | ||

Edvar, You may be right but I find it very hard to believe that the grey F40 that was at Talacrest a few months ago was ex-Sultan of Brunei I know that F40 well as it was at the dealership when I was brokering the deal for my 348. That particular F40 was in terrible shape, the paint and fittings were appalling, the interior condition (leather Testarossa seating) was as bad as it gets | ||

I think the Sultan still owns MANY cars, but it's probably not so extreme (duh!) as a few years ago. I know that many "normal" Ferraris (355, 550 etc) has left Brunei and went to New Sealand and UK (like Talacrest). Once in a while some "special" Ferraris leave Brunei too, like the grey RHD F40 (with leather interior) that was at Talacrest a while ago. Among the cars owned by the Sultan are/were: Mythos (3 cars, RHD and in three colours), F90 (based on Testarossa), FX (based on F512 M; one is now in California), 456 Venice (6 cabrio, 6 station wagons and 6 sedans in several colours), a few RHD F40s (several colours), several F50s (some RHD), 288 GTO Evoluzione, a Ferrari F1 car, a one-off 550 Spider with automatic gearbox (I saw this one on Monaco last year). Yes, he often has multiple cars of each type (6 is indeed his magic number), most are RHD (sometimes converted), painted in all kinds of colours and fitted with automatic gearboxes (like ProDrive on the FX). | ||

That's not right William Speer, The Sultan of Brunei is still on the top 10 of the richest people in the world, with a personal income of over 7 billions every year. I have just read a special on him last week. There where also photo's from his garage's and they said that there where more than 5000 cars still. So Speer, I think you are the one with the wrong story No offense. I don't know if any of his buisnesses have gone bankrupt, but that don't mean anything, cuz the oil made him one of the richest men without them, so it shouldn't be a problem. | ||

additionally, the sultan owned many coach built rolls royces, bentleys, aston martins, ferraris, etc. in an article several years back it mentioned that the rolls and bentleys were purchased in lots of six (a common number ordered by the sultan for all of his cars) and included a contract for factory maintenance that cost in the neighborhood of $6 million/year. this included the two or three service techs to be placed in brunei through out the year. keep in mind, even with the ferraris- ferrari claimed these cars didn't exist for years. even though spy photos would surface, no one would acknowledge their existence. the fx is one of the most intriguing as it was a modified tr512m. there was alsoa car that was called an f90 in the spy shots and a poster was made of it. it looked like no other ferrari i had seen then or since. does anyone have any of the pics of the sultans cars? | ||
| william speer (Wspeer)
Junior Member Username: Wspeer Post Number: 157 Registered: 8-2002 |
ferrari did not cut anyone off. his cars were made through pininfarina with ferraris blessing- or so the story goes. the sultan and his brother had "invested" in several business ventures that have all gone bye-bye, leaving the countries former financial assets all but depleted. the government was a total sham as there was no need for all the bureacracy that existed, which has further depleted the countries assets. the only thing keeping the country afloat currently is the oil exportation, but with the sultan, who owns EVERYTHING, in receivership, it makes it difficult for him to enjoy the activities he used to. i do not know the exact count of the cars that he stills own, clearly more than just a couple, but the cars that all the rumors and imaginations have created are all but gone. a prominent ferrari broker, as mentioned in prancing horse magazine, has secured a contract to liquidate the custom and coach built cars as well as other cars in the collection. the contract was for many cars and valued in excess of half a billion dollars, and surrounded in all the bureaocarcy you could imagine. the cars can not be publiclyy advertised per the agreement. | ||

there are many b.s. stories about the sultan of brunei. although several years ago, most of what you heard was true, it is no longer the case. the sultan is in receivership. most of his property has been seized. the only cars that he still has are the ones that were on the palace grounds. the "majority" of his cars were stored in off site wharehouses. as for ferrari not selling the sultan any more cars, the only reason that i could believe that to be true is that the sultan can no longer pay for them. it is for this reason that the sultans cars have slowly been trickling onto the market instead of the old way of disposal, dumping them into the ocean. in the next several months you will continue to see these cars surface, but few will make a u.s. appearance as they are all right hand drive cars. the more recent ones will not be able to be brought into the u.s. unless they can enter under the "show and display" law. | ||

He also trade with the limited production models and he offers a warm place for your f-car in the garage under his funiture-shop if you have no place.

Ansgar, is that same person the Sultan of Brunei- i don't know Brunei's Sultan's name... If it is, i'd have to agree with you- it was reported that he owned so many Ferraris, Ferrari wouldn't sell to him anymore, so he resorted to buying them elsewhere (private sellers, etc.)... Ernie, what about users that used to have other Ferraris but have since sold or traded them in for newer ones or different ones...? Does that count, too, or do you just want to know who has the most, at one time...? (i have 4- 1:18 Enzo, 1:18 360 Modena, 1:18 360 Spider & a 1:18 550 Barchetta ) | ||

Oh your funny. I guess I didn't make the question clear. Of the guys on FerrariChat, who owns the most? But how mant does the Sultan own? I know he has had many custom jobs done for him by Ferrari, including a 456 station wagon. | ||

Easy question. I think it is his Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah. | ||

I am blessed enough to own just one Ferrari. But just for kicks who owns the most? This should be intersting. |
