    I had no idea he had so many bikes. NR750 with no side fairings.... depressing..... that is a very expensive Honda.... ok nothing compared to some of the cars, but pricey and extremely rare for a bike.

    So I wonder how many cars and bikes he never even touched?

    Over 25 years ago I spent some time with this Cizeta - the 3rd one built and the first one for the Sultan of Brunei. Not sure what happened to it.

    Are any of those cars in a good condition? What happens when you don't drive a car for two decades? :(

    Thanks for the photos. I can't tell if that F1 is 005 and black or 008 and very dark (cobalt) blue with polished wheels. Hmm...maybe Erik can chime in. Probably 005.

    Edit: yeah 005 since you said BN3388. 008 is BN73.

    Apparently this must be the very same Ferrari 365 GTS/4 'Daytona'. The picture below was posted on Facebook by Talacrest back in 2014 and it quotes: "This was a Ferrari Daytona Spyder RHD #14371. 1 of 7 RHD Spyders - the car had covered a mere 9000 miles and we sold it to the Royal Garage of Brunei for £1m in 1989. The car was then converted by Pininfarina with automatic power soft top and fuel injection.".

    Some more history from www.barchetta.cc:

    1971 - Robert S. Michaels, London, GB via Maranello Concessionaires (ref. "RM 460")
    ----- - repainted black by Maranello Concessionaires before delivery to Michaels
    1987 - offered by Rod Leach's Nostalgia, UK - black/black
    1987 - Alan Lawson
    1989 - John Collins, Talacrest, UK. 9,000 miles.
    1989 - Sultan of Brunei, £1,000,000
    ----- - converted by Pininfarina with automatic power soft top and fuel injection
    1998 - still with Royal Garage of Brunei

    Forgot to mention that this Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona was the 3rd built and it had EURO specs. Originally it was azure blue metallic with black interior, black carpets, Borrani wheels and instruments in Imperial units (read: mph).

    Let me indroduce you to Mr. Enrico Fumia, the man responsible for the Ferrari F90 project at Pininfarina.
    I am trying to get in touch with him in order to bring you some more material. Meanwhile enjoy the pics.
    I know the first photo has already been posted but, as far as I remember, there was never an interior shot.

    The United States Army must invade that small country and seize all those cars, so they can be restored and displayed in museums across the world., because that's a treasury that belongs to the whole mankind.

    I'm perfectly aware that what I wrote is very stupid, but I needed to say it.

    As a die hard auto enthusiast I fell sick to know those cars will die in that dark and sad sultanship (Exact word ??)
