    They had also a bunch of Ferraris like this RHD converted F-40 (actually for sale - as new - in the UK). I remember Marcel Massini wrote they've ordered no less than seven F-50 (all but two - #102902 and #103033 were converted to RHD). #102852 is a regular F-50 and the others, #107515, #107530, #107560 and #107575 are unofficials post-production F-50s (made after the 349th).
    Someone on the forum posted also a few pics taken of Bentleys and Astons "specials".

    # for Chassis Number.

    Other pics are Sedan and Estate 456GTs shot in Brunei.
    EDIT : Found other pics.

    That custom XJ220 looks better than the normal XJ220. Looks like a hybrid between the XJ220 and the XJR-15

    These are the photos that i took and sold to a australian magazine called wheels, this article is from autocar magazine which was a sister magazine of wheels, this one also included a few more photos that someone else had supplied probably from pininfarina as they were taken on the coast road in brunei which was the test route.

    I will make a list of what was in each garage and post it later.

    Nope, unfortunately not.
    Check this out -> http://www.*************/cars/3596.html
    Funny how they did publish this on their website a day after I posted that particular photo in here. :)
    Which I de facto got from ***************.com since I couldn't for hell find the two pics of it I had on my hard disk. It was this pic and a rear view of the car. I copied them from some website long time ago. There was also a short note about modifications done to the car etc.
    A lot of bull**** in that pseudo article. Like for instance, there were no XJ220s sent to Pininfarina, none chassis ever saw the XJ220 production line, they were delivered to Pininfarina without any numbers from what I know.
