The Sultan of Brunei is getting rid of his cars

How many times have you surely dreamed of simply having at your disposal just a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, let alone the number of times you have dreamed of not having just one, but ten or fifteen, all in your name and kept in a huge garage for that very event.

Well, as there is always someone in this world for whom your dream would simply seem foolish, either because they don’t share your passion or because they have enough money in their bank account to maintain and enjoy a collection that exceeds 2,000 cars.

This is the situation of the Sultan of Brunei, whose collection stands out not only for holding nearly 500 Mercedes, 360 Ferrari, 180 Bentley or 160 Porsche, but because the vast majority of them show, on their odometers, only the distance from the factory to his garage.

At this point, you will surely find it even harder to understand what motive is driving this gentleman to sell part of his collection. More specifically, he wants to part with a lot made up of 25 Ferrari, including an Enzo, an F50, an F40, a couple of Daytonas, a 512 TR Spyder and a 355 Challenge with road-going specifications. Don’t worry, because he had 4 or 5 examples of each of these in different colours.

But perhaps the most eye-catching part is not this, since several one-off units are also up for sale, such as a Cizeta V16, of which the sultan has two units, or an Ital Design Nazca C2, which might have gone unnoticed were it not for the 470,000 euros he is asking for it, a truly low price for the class of car he is trying to sell.

Now, what could be driving the Sultan of Brunei to carry out this sale? According to rumours, there are two possibilities. The first is that his brother, who apparently is not exactly what you would call a wild card, has a lot to do with this decision. On the other hand, and something much more logical, it is said that he needs space to store a new order placed for Bugatti as well as 10 Aston Martin One-77 that are yet to arrive.
