    Well, kinda. From this broker's link, it looks like somebody is unloading some of the Sultan's cars. Certainly some mythical unicorn cars in there.

    1200 mile Daytona? Yes, please.

    Have you confirmed these are the Sultan's cars?

    Not at all - that was my uninformed guess as to their origin.

    I'm also assuming this broker's site is legit, which certainly may not be the case.

    OK. There is at least one other rather large collection of RHD cars in that region (another country nearby, but not Brunei) that consists of some one-offs some of which I recognize..

    I'd love to be a car collector, but it does make me sad to see some amazing vehicles just laying around collecting dust. I hope they go to a good home :)

    Jim, the blue Cizeta was the giveaway for me.

    Can you imagine what it would take to properly re-commission some of those things?

    Properly? A LOT of coin. That part of the world is very humid and as Neil sang:

    Jim: NZ $1,250,000 for a Testarossa with the roof cut off. I say that's a deal and you'd look good in it too. These guys seem to be enthusiastic with their valuations.

    You think we'd have to send money before we see a car???

    There are people I'd send money to before seeing a car in person.

    You are one of them.

    They aren't.

    That would make much more sense, wouldn't it. Still quite a collection.

    Thanks Jim.

    Still, as jmela correctly says, quite a collection!

    Well since the collection doesn't have any of the Ferrari 456 Venice Estate cars, there's nothing to see here...move along now...

    :D

    BTW - I think those cars have been for sale "unofficially" for years now, just never advertised. I think it's always "if the price is right" situation, at least it was when I inquired to Hong Seh Motors nearly 5 years ago on the Cizeta.

    Yeah I was gonna say, the Cizeta and Nazca escaped a few years back and were spotted in Singapore or around those parts.

    Whether they'd left the Sultans collection or not at the time, or even now is another matter.

    If he's having a proper clean out though, lets hope he sells his McLarens as well.

    The Cizeta never left Hong Seh's garage. Assumed it was stored there for the Prince along with the others.

    I think the big deal of the day is the 348 GT Competizione for 165k. Too bad the dark blue plexi Daytona is RHD...maybe a HK buyer will snap it up!

    What's the deal with the Italdesign? How many of those are in existance. Can't be more than a very small handful.

    Two different concepts as far as I remember, don't know if they made more though.

    I'm sure the one for sale is the grey one at the back repainted.
