    There was a Mclaren written off in Brunei but it happened before i was there ,I remember because the car was flown back to woking they stripped it down completeley and it was sent back to brunei as spares, i was so tempted and i wish i had now, to nick the centre console with all its switches still in place.

    There is a car that i once had a photo of but its dissapeared,"the batmobile" made out of a brand new 600sl 129sl mercedes it was made in Bognor Regis in the south of England.
    It had a gas flame thrower out the back to mimic a jet engine and all the interior was carbon fibre bat like it was cool.
    Does anyone have photos of it ?

    If so please post.

    That's a Mercedes-Benz W220. The Sultan's S classes are W140 (the older version; production stopped around '98 iirc).
    I don't have any records/sources saying that they had 'new' S-classes, but of course this doesn't mean alot. After all, they need cars to transport the royal family.
    Another thing is that this car is LHD, while all the (custom made) Brunei cars were RHD.

    Those molested Cizeta photos are an interesting but disappointing sight. Keep up the good work. :cool:

    I've found a website of a dealer in Singapore with two cars for sale that look like Brunei cars: http://www.automobilmanufactur.com.sg/

    The first one is the only RHD CLK GTR in the world, on their website they say it's an SS version. I've allways heard the rumour that the Sultan had this car, but were did this rumour come from?
    Have you guys ever seen this car in Brunei?

    The second one is the HWA 600 Landualet, wich seems to fit the discription of the Brunei limo's. Does anyone know a way how I can check if this one came from Brunei?

    I know that they are from brunei cos the sultan owns the right hand drive clk gtr....the only one in the world and it is in singapore !

    i do not have the pics of the czieta and nazca cos you can only enter the second floor with permission....and is heavily guarded.....but the good thing is that those cars are for sale but nobody wants to buy it because of its high price.....

    But i still have the photo of the clk gtr at singapore.....the only right hand drive.......

    The Sultan never took delivery of the blue car. And the black/cream was changed to black interior prior to delivery.

    :eek: really? Wasn't there a blue one (the car that didn't make it to the collection) also located in Singapore?

    And I thought the 2 blacks were located in the west...

    As pointed out, the picture on the Hong Seh motors site is a stock photo. Both black cars are no longer in Singapore (1 is in Marconi, 1 is still at Talacrest). Hong Seh acknowledges the blue car is there, delivery miles, but they won't allow photos, etc. I know, I talked with them last year, very secretive about it.

    Silver and LHD? So not the Brunei car because the Sultan (once) owns a Nazca C2 Spyder (?) in blue i think (see picture below).

    I heard Giugiaro built four Nazca:

    1. Nazca
    2. Nazca C2 (destroyed by fire)
    3. Nacza C2 Spyder
    4. Nacza C2 Spyder (?) for Brunei in blue

    But... can anyone confirm the GTR SS being a Brunei car?

    And how about HWA's 600?
