    Wow, 3 in the uk now....are they still under Royal ownership?? Thats a shame they repainted the green one, i remember them shipping that one out from the workshops in brunei, the leatherwork was all coded green too, it really looked the nuts, i have too say that during my whole time spent in brunei...having reviewed as much as the collection i could see, the Yellow Venice estate was simply the most gorgeous car in brunei, seriously in the flesh with its blood red interior it was simply the most sexy car you have ever seen...and its a damn estate i mean come on get real...but it even turn Mclaren mechanics heads..and they didnt turn for anything, the venice estates where a true Farina bespoke...uprated powertrain in the fact there was a whole new gearbox layout, gone was the FFD ricardo unit which didnt match the torque spec of the v12, a few lighten parts thrown into the engine with some map work gave this beast very supercar times..and its an estate...but the best thing about driving this car was looking back in the mirrors on a wet road...the small venturi on the rear created huge white out roostertails... makes u feel all buck rodgers type, gotta get my kicks from something

    Great information - I had the details of a longtail road car (the black one) having been in Brunei from a very credible source and was suprised when others claimed that was not correct.

    McLaren built 3 of the cars, but not all were black. The breakdown on longtail road car chassis, officially called the "F1 GT" looks like this.

    54F1GT - Black - Originally in Brunei, now most likely in a private collection in England. The current owner's name is believed to be John Studdelhome or Stuttleholm or something like that.

    56XPGT - Silverstone Green - this was the prototype hence the 'XP' designation in the chassis number. At last report, McLaren was still in possession of this car. It used to be on display at the new McLaren Technology Center in Woking, but hasn't been seen in a while. McLaren has in the past offered this car for sale privately at a quoted price of £1M, but up until late-2003 had seen no takers. They may or may not still have it and I hope to have more info soon.

    58F1GT - Burgundy - last seen in the ZAZ Museum in Nagoya, Japan which is owned by Yoshio Tsuzuki. This car has not been seen in photos taken inside the museum within the past year and may have been sold. Two other F1s from Tsuzuki's collection were sold in the past year (#053 & GTR #13R), so this one may have gone as well. Tsuzuki is the original and current owner of LM2 and also owned road car chassis #018 at one point.

    yeah i know what you mean, i hate the plonkers on here that say THIS and THAT like they are the experts and really all they are is Monday Experts (seen something on tv or read a newspaper on the weekend then all of a sudden they are the worlds foremost expert on the issue). My purpose here is to chat alittle about from what i actually know about my time spent in brunei. and whats happened since as thats an area i dont know much about but interested to learn. i hate these ferrari no-it-alls who honestly believe they have all the facts, ohhh take a back seat and shut up, not having a dig at ferrari geeks...cos iam one too but just shut up if you dont know what your talking about..i can smell your bull a mile away, honestly i could never own a ferrari..way outta my price range but hey i do love talking about them, anyhows what iam getting at is i have recieved some good info from people who never have been to brunei but know more than i do post Brunei crash...and without the bull... Cheers Peloton cos you certainly have better knowledge of Macs than i do and its cool that you can tell me things i didnt expect or know about

    I often seen the Venice being driven to the town Bandar Seri Begawan and parked infront of the shopping mall and own the road driven by a female driver. It's black. Kind of surprised me to see a Ferrari wagon.

    Not all of the PF Bentleys were sold but the B3s were auctionned. The B3 is really something i dig and i would like to own. The metallic black one (not the stealth black) or the BRG are just stunning. I'm not into the red and yellow colors. I would like to find the new owners and ask them the clauses of ownership.

    Still i think that having the complete list of cars (global database updates were carried every 6 months or so) at the very last moment before some were leaving would be a blast. Still i'm really interested into exporting the ones which are export-able. 2 F50s (for sure, perhaps more) are still there.


    Thanks for all the info Citronella.

    Several 355s and 456s ended up here in NZ. There have been electrical failures and dead ECUs due to poor/non existent maintenance and neglect while in Burnei. A well known broker who was invited to Brunei to look over the interesting cars when everything became 'available' saw many Ferraris rotting outside - literally. Carpets, leather etc damp and covered in mould.

    I saw the ex-grey w/ red pinstripe F40 2 weeks ago. It is in excellent condition. The conversion work was done by PF and is top notch, the car is now very special and looks stunning. The price being asked is higher than the market price for a LHD F40.

    I was told this morning that the silver car is still owned by the royal family (Brunei), and that it is used when visiting.

    Correct. This is the light silver car that has always been silver. Not the repainted green car

    These cars were actually owned by the Sultans brother Prince Jefri, i know because i used to work at the garage where all the car were stored.
    If you go on google earth and put in the latitudes and longitudes of
    4 57 1036 N / 114 50 1867 E
    That is the garage where all the cars are.
    I have a complete list of all the cars that were there.

    I don't suppose you remember the colour of the road cars? I assume 9 means:

    1 Longtail GT
    3 LM's
    5 Road Cars (At least 1 now out)
