    Citronell and chillidog, can you please confirm if the Sultan had a RHD Mercedes CLK GTR Roadster in his collection. A total of 5 CLK GTR Roadsters were made with 4 of them being LHD and his one being RHD. I have seen that car in Singapore along with the Sultan's silver RHD CLK GTR and the Sultan's S600 Landaulet.

    The CLK GTR Roadster that I saw was dark grey in colour.

    I believe I've finally found (4) pics of the unknown LWB Rolls Royce, philosophically it can be called Phantom VII. It shares no coachwork with other Rolls Royces, allthough the headlights look like the ones from the Silver Seraph. The mechanicals come from a Silver Spirit.

    >>> http://www.*************/gallery/129612/976/12.html

    I've also added some more cars that were at official events (60th birthday of the Sultan)

    11 pics of the Sultan's Rolls Royce Phantom VI

    3 pics of Rolls Royce Silver Spur Touring Limousine's

    3 pics of an Bentley Turbo R Limousine

    Well done on keeping this thread going.

    Roughly how many cars do you still need pictures of? The initial list is the full list of the cars at the time - or are there more?

    Regards

    The list is only of garage 5 iirc.
    And I still want to see lots and lots of pics :D. There are so many Brunei specials that I haven't got a clue of what they look like. I'll continue updating this thread every few weeks.

    What other specials do you know about maybe i can help(not with photos i am afraid).
    I know a few guys took some video i will see if i can find them and get them posted up on youtube but dont hold your breath.
    Does anyone have a photo of the batmobile which was a brand new converted 600sl 129 model.
    Citronella did you work there ?

    I did infiltrate that place.

    I saw his:

    300 SL Gullwing with 6.0 ltr AMG engine
    S600 Landaulet
    RHD CLK GTR SS
    RHD CLK GTR Coupe
    2 S-Class Estates

    plus I saw 2 Mclarens, 3 Paganis and a lot more. Have the pics and I was told it was ok to show the showroom pics. I'll need to confirm that once more though.

    What showroom? Is there an open area there? Or did you perhaps just mean warehouse?

    Are there other Bentley/AM specials that we still don't know about then? Do you think the guys who took pictures of the cars back in those days would ever sell or will they take the pictures to the grave?

    That should be a crime. I call for the sultan and his son's heads to be displayed at the Mercedes Museum!

    lol. Maybe that's a little extreme but modifying a beautiful and historically significant car like a 300SL should never be done regardless of how little you care about it's value. Ruining a 300SL will put you out around $400,000 which some people wont bat an eye at but it also means that it's one less original 300SL in existance which is very very unfortunate.

    Probably at least one more Bentley. I'm trying to find out more about that one. There are definately a couple more Royces. There is some more that I'm not going to post yet; I'm in contact with quite some people trying to find out more facts.

    I actually saw it ,i was there when it was delivered a company in Bognor UK did all the work on it, it had a complete carbon fibre bat looking interior and even a flame thrower at the back which ran on gas.
    The whole exterior of the car was transformed into a batmobile ,i used to have a photo of it which i took but i cant find it.
    The company in Bognor must have some.

    Bognor Regis... hmm, do you perhaps know the name of the company?
    Did they also change the exterior of the car? with 2 big batwings or something?

    edit: and you lost the picture?! how could you :mad::D:p
    edit2: I really hope you find it again, I'm really curious...

    Bentley Pegasus Estate (2 pictures)

    Bentley Rapier (3 pictures)

    Bentley Azure (8 pictures)

    Bentley Arnage (2 pictures)

    Bentley Continental R (1 picture)

    I also photoshopped these images, so you have a much better view of the car:

    Edit: I've also given these 2 Royces a name from the big list. They're either the Rolls Royce Royale, Majestic or Cloudesque. Majestic and Royale sound good for both these cars imho, but it's just a guess:
