The Sultan of Brunei puts 21 of his automotive jewels up for sale

If the Sultan of Brunei is known for anything, it is precisely for his enormous collection made up of more than 5,000 vehicles under his control, a huge number of cars, almost all of them supercars or exotic vehicles that many people spend a lifetime dreaming of seeing on the street.

For example, if the Sultan of Brunei fancies a supercar, he has no problem not only buying one, but he usually buys it in every colour in which it is available. To give you an idea, thousands of his vehicles show on their odometers only the same number of kilometres that the manufacturer covered from the factory to their resting place.

It is therefore no surprise that, when the news broke that the Sultan is putting several of his cars up for sale, private collectors rubbed their hands together, especially when it comes to vehicles such as the BMW ItalDesign Nazca V12, of which only 3 prototypes were ever built, or a unit of the Lamborghini Cizeta V16T, of which only 7 were built and of which the Sultan himself, apparently, owns several.

Among the 21 cars that will go on sale, we can highlight, for example, a Ferrari F40, a Ferrari Enzo, a Jaguar XJ220 or a Mercedes CLK DTM AMG, with just a few tens of kilometres on their instrument clusters. Without further ado, here is a gallery of photos where you can see the gems that will soon change hands.

    A este tío le expropiaba hasta los carritos de la comida. No le permitiría acercarse a un coche el resto de su vida. Quien más y quien menos que lea este blog y otros similares, tiene un garaje perfecto o un garaje soñado. Pero no me cabe la menor duda de que trataría cada vehículo como se merece, y sacándolo de vez en cuando.

    Este ser humano tiene los coches como el que tiene una colección de sellos. Alguien debería decirle que los coches son para conducir, no para amontonar y de mala manera en un almacén. Es que para más inri ni los tiene bien expuestos. Ya que tiene tanto dinero, que al menos los coloque a modo de museo.

    Como podreis ver este tío, Farruquito y ahora Ortega Cano son seres humanos que me sacan de mis casillas.

    Y yo suspirando por tener algún día un A5 2.0T Quattro S-Tronic Blanco.
