    No it didn't sell at the auction. It was sold a few weeks ago via Coys. It was sitting in their showroom and i went to see it and it was sold.

    I'm not sure about that. Several F50s were sent to Pininfarina to be converted to RHD, but in many cases, this did not happen. Probably because of the financial problems that started around that period. So, I'm not sure if there are more RHD F50s ....

    I have serial #'s for 3 RHD Ferraris. 2 of them are Ex Brunei Also, the silver one below probably isn't the Coys car. I also have a pic taken out of an article showing 3 F50's in Brunei (Black, Red, Silver). I would assume that they are RHD so thats at least 3 that are RHD.

    BBR models are showing a prototype model of a Sultan of Brunei F50 on their website (www.bbrmodels.it) which has a non standard rear wing and an F50GT like scoop on the roof.

    These guys usually get it right, so I suspect that there is at least one car with non standard bodywork.

    I remember seeing that F50 sat in Coys last time I was in London. There was also a brilliant F40 and a Daytona sat outside, they get some great stuff in that showroom :D

    Thanks for the information, Chris! So, it's indeed clear that multiple F50s went to the Sultan. However, as I said before, there are also a couple of F50s which were supposed to be converted to RHD for the Sultan, but that didn't take place.

    I saw there were more than 10 F50's in the list for auction. None of them I saw auctioned here in Brunei. Not sure if they are His Majesty's or brother's.

    I don't know where the cars were going to be auction was the starting bid if I'm not mistaken was USD150,000. The list contain Testarossas and 456GTs also. So far two testarossa Black and Red was auction here in Brunei for BND140,000 first then when down to BND124,000. I guess no one was buying so the price was lowered.
