    You must have missed the 275 GTS (1966) and the Daytona Spider (1971).

    The leaked photos (and most of the images publicly available) only pictured RPCB5, a combination of garages managed for only few members of the royal family, mainly JB, who had only a few years during the 90s and late 80s to purchase those cars (which represent a high percentage of Brunei's royal collection). If you examine the whole family you'll find older cars indeed.

    Thanks that's just as interesting to know too. Would love to know what else is stored away.

    Another question for those with more history from over there. Regarding a lot of the unique, concept and one off cars, did the BRF have many of ideas or their hands in designing many of the cars or was it the manufacturers and design houses present them with cars and concepts and they said 'Looks great, I'll take 7'

    Well the period where they were spending all those millions was mid 80's to early 90's so I'm guessing they just wanted the newest of everything

    The first pic is owned by prince mateen himself don't often see or heard of it being used unless there's an upcoming event where there's not that many people (I'm guessing he's a bit secretive abt these cars?) also has a white lafferari across the garage in the picture

    Second pic I'm guessing is either prince jefri himself or his son Hakeem jeffri who owns the red lafferari that was involved in an accident not a few years back. I believe the picture was taken at one of the suites in jerudong (empire) quite interesting but some owners can be identified by their license plate as they usually put their birth years; 1973 for hakeem, 1954 for jefri etc.

    Third pic belongs to one of the sultan's son if I'm not mistaken it was HRH prince malik. I don't see it that often probably was used as a daily back then but now no news of it

    The fourth pic is correct, it's the sultan himself. Back then abt before 2019 the sultan used it as a daily car. Ever since then he used it from little to none as he would only use it as a car for weekly occasions. Seems like there is a new g wagon every year with one recently bought on his majesty's birthday

    The crown prince himself owns a pagani huayra and it was recently out for a wheel alignment nearby his palace. But surely I doubt he's going to be using it any time soon tho. I also remember maybe abt less than 10 years ago when he would daily use it, the pagani once broke down on the side of the road when he was using it. I believe it was transported out for maintenance and service and when it went back, he used it less.

    He also owns the mosler mt7 right? There was this video of him using it from the Nurul istana palace to his palace. Although I believe the vid was decades ago, plus along with the rising controversial statements after the royal car collection pictures leaked, I doubt he'll be using that any time soon. Might probably not even see the bruneian daylight anymore unless some lucky lucky foreign buyer buys it outside brunei and it gets transported out lmao

    I wonder why don’t they set up a museum instead of keeping all these cars hidden.
    Must be very introversed people.

    It would definitely be a good start to make that country get more tourists to spend more money like the UAE has been doing to stop relying as much on oil. I'd definitely visit Brunei for a vacation if they had all those cars setup as a museum.

    I thought the same, while my other thing is about sharing: if you have such an amazing collection, why not to open it to the enjoyment of millions of people?
    The car enthusiast would be happy.
    The car manufacturers would be happy.
    The tourism businesses would be happy.
    Why not the sultan?
    You know what? I will try to write him.
