Brunei Mclarens Revealed!!!!!!

[Jota 5084]

But where are the Cizeta:s? I thought the Sultan had 3 off them?

[mini magic]

One of them is in bits in the UK, i've seen it. Its been butchered and is pretty much scrap metal

[RubenRocket]

By the way: Anyone knows what an AMG T1 is? Can't find it on the web...

[McLaren F1 Guy]

Well, another mystery solved. Who'd have thought a year ago that by now we'd know what the black LMs look like and know what cars are in Brunei. Nice work

[RubenRocket]

Just considered that this T1 might as well be a special made custom model, just like some of the families 4 door Astons and Ferraris and the Bentleys with the funny names...

Another question then: Anyone knows how old this collection is? Most cars seem to be relatively young, no vintage stuff whatsoever. Perhaps it is considered 'not done' buying 'secondhand' by the family? Personally, with this kind of budget I would have gone for a bit more variation and definately a bit more classic stuff...

Do you mind sharing the source of the list, MiniMagic?

Cheers, Ruben

thanks lemans, I meant someone should do it now. I have that magazine somewhere.

[mini magic]

Thanks Le Man! Thanks so much. I haven't seen that one

I assume all of these are up for sale, or what ever remains on the collection. I guess you can also assume that they are not in the best condition. sea air is very corrosive.

I think the general opinion is that the cars that aren't out by now are staying. Most don't meet US/UK/Wherever safety/emission restrictions. Remember, these cars were made for the ruler(s) of brunei and they didn't care about safety/emissions. Most cars weren't fitted with airbags. Word is that the "normal" cars that have escaped (Ferrari 355's, 456's, 550's etc) were bought for almost nothing and have had A LOT go wrong wit them

[Sauc3]

Here's two of the Sultan's old cars.

And I believe another, but I can't verify it 100%.

[mini magic]

Yes, the Cizeta is "ex-Brunei". Same for both his F50's (actually never made it to Brunei but were stuck at Pininfarina for RHD conversion which was never performed).
