Sultan of Brunei car collection.

[Dangermouse]

Question for all you M.E. experts. Does the aforementioned Mr. S. Brunei have or had a DeLorean in his little collection?

He appears to be selling off some of his baubles;

Perhaps he is making funds for a certain BTTF replica car? Or a football team even?

I would think that somewhere in his hundreds of cars he could appreciate the ownership experience of a DeLorean.

1 $NZ equals about 0.49 GBP, btw


Edit : found a list of his cars, and no D (in 2007 anyway). Calls himself a serious collector! It’s a bloody disgrace.

What's also a disgrace is that none of the cars have ever been driven! What's the point of having them - why not just get a picture?! I wonder how many of them will need a complete overhaul as a result?

and then one day it rained and he got his turban wet, so then he bought a proper car

I think this is the one technically closest to a DeLorean! http://www.ferraricollectionforsale.com/bmwnazca.html

The whole logistics of it are just mind-boggling. Surely out of his 600 or so cars, he must drive some of them? Does he just have them laid out in a museum and occasionally takes a walk to look at them, touch them? I know he keeps them in an enormous garage, rather tahn a museum per se.

He must have a whole team of machanics perptually overhauling them, maybe he requires that he is able to take any of them for a spin at any time and they all must be ready. The minor detail that they are not registered with the goverment can proably be surpassed by the fact that he is the government

Someone suggested that he has one for every wife . If so, he must be married to multiple sets of twins and triplets.
