    The picture shows it before the RHD conversion and repainting to Nero.

    The FX here has a different license plate. Apparently the license plates on the vehicles have changed from time to time.

    Was in the BRF collection until 2015. The F1 belonged to Prince Jefri, recognizable by his logo, for example on the steering wheel hub or the center locks.

    It's black, (seems matte because of the protection coat Pininfarina used in his factory) and the photo appeared in an Instagram Story uploaded by Supercar Owners Circle. It was taken during the Paolo Garella's masterclass, and the Forest Green F40 is also visible in the PowerPoint.

    I wish I could source those wheels too. Only the Venice cars had them.

    Apparently, some of the info that Paolo Garella shared were false, at least on the F40s that the BRF ordered. Anybody knows if others of his infos are false?

    What do you mean by "false information"? I haven't heard anything.

    Heard that there's an R129 in the same color with the exact bumper parked next to a 300SL AMG 'BN21', which is also parked next to an F1 LM 'BM2208'

    A quick question: is it true that the Mercedes CW 311 is in Brunei? If that's so, are there any "recent" (as in, at least not 40+ years old) photos of it?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've never heard that story before, and I didn't see it in any photo of the collection.

    Prince Jerfri's former Jerudong compound garages, complete with glass showroom where the rotting car collection is housed without air conditioning. Note : the cars have now been moved from the showroom. From my research it would appear that as soon as the Prince was found to have stolen $14.8B from the public purse as Finance Minster 1986-1997 to fund his opulent lifestyle, the Sultan sacked his mechanics and the a/c was switched off. By the time Michael Sheenan of Ferraris Online was invited to the compound in early 2002, many of the cars were beyond salvaging such is the humidity and heat in Brunei. Jefri disappeared for a good couple of decades before he was accepted back into the family after much legal wrangling where he was made to return his many assets, but most of his cars sadly have not survived. There have of course been exceptions, and they escaped the Kingdom despite all of the administrative red tape, but it is only a handful at most and the restoration on each car was enormous.
