    i actually have a 1:18 scale model of a red Mythos...i must have gotten it when that prototype came out circa 1990.

    i wonder how rare those are! haha

    (am willing to trade 1:18 red Mythos for 1:1 Ferrari of any type)

    to put a few things to rest:


    taylor and crawley, a high end dealer in london has recieved many of the sultans cars including the 456 Estate and a Yellow McLaren F1, more to be confirmed soon.


    The F50 Bolide that someone said was a rebodied F50 is a rebodied F50 but aparently doesn't exist anymore.

    He aparently has 8 mclaren F1's (7 if you deduct the yellow one now in New York - Chassis #014) and owns a replica of the LeMans 1995 winning car (001R). The replica is 009R btw,

    here is a pic:

    The other person that has a huge collection of cars is named Jefri Bolkiah, here is the top gear article someone mentioned:

    About the F50 Bolide it was a car built for the Sultan but he didn't like it. Now I wanna know if the car really had an engine inside or it was simply a car with a body and wheels.

    Doesn't exist anymore? he destroyed it?

    i don't know, i have heard that it didn't have an engine too. I heard from someone (who would probably know) that it doesn't and never did exist, but these pix clearly prove it did, so i'm not sure. It was aparently a design study on the F50GT and no cars were completed or delivered. I want to see more pix of it! :(

    I have only 3 pics of the F50 Bolide and I think those are the only pics that people saw of this car.

    Elsewhere in this post someone mentioned a design stufy by PF - this is correct. I have an autocar from 5-6 years ago with pictures of all these cars. The story there about the Bolide is that this is just a styling buck (made in Clay/Fiberglass etc) it was made by PF as part of a presentation to the Sultan so that he might buy a few. Planned to be F50 based, but NOT a basis for the GT.

    He didn't like it so a real car was never made. I'd be surprised if the buck was destroyed I'm sure its in someone's private museum. But as far as I know no real car was ever made.

    yes i'm sorry, it was based on the regular F50, not the GT.

    Looking over my pix i seem to have an F50 Bolide pic that i haven't seen on any of the sites posted. I'll also include some other pix:
