Million-Dollar Supercar Collection for Sale Linked to Sultan of Brunei

An unprecedented collection of exotic sportscars has gone on sale in the South Pacific which reports link to the world's top collector, the Sultan of Brunei.

The collection, which is being brokered out of New Zealand and thought to be currently located in Singapore, contains a dazzling array of European exotics. Among those being offered are 3 Lamborghinis, 2 lightweight Porsche 911 Turbos, a Jaguar XJ220, one of only eight Cizeta V16s ever produced, the ItalDesign BMW Nazca and no fewer than 25 Ferraris. Included in the latter are an Enzo, an F50, an F40, and a custom 512 TR Spider.

The cars are all worth in the six and seven figures, and many of them have never been driven beyond the original factory mileage. They may belong to the sultan himself, or possibly his brother Prince Jefri who has been the subject of controversy of late. Follow the link to the collection's dedicated sales site and peruse the image gallery below for a closer look.

Back in February we reported on the mysterious filthy rich individual who purchased 10 Aston Martin One-77 supercars, limited to just 77 examples, for $1.7 million apiece or $23 million in total including fees. Now educated insiders are speculating that the Sultan of Brunei bought the cars to add to his multi-billion-dollar, 7,000-strong car collection, the world's most expensive auto hoard. According to Guinness World Records the Sultan's collection includes over 600 Rolls-Royces, more than 450 Ferraris, 570 Mercedes-Benzes, 380 Bentleys, 170 Porsches, dozens of Koenigseggs, and 20 Lamborghinis to name a few. He owns several rare custom, one-off and concept cars, some worth tens of millions apiece, including a Ferrari Mythos, a Jaguar XJ220 by Pininfarina, a Bentley Java, a Bentley Dominator SUV, bespoke Rolls-Royce and Ferrari station wagons, a Porsche Carma and a Koenigsegg Agera. Known for buying multiple models of supercars in order to have one in every color, he owns several McLaren F1s, six Ferrari FXXs, four Ferrari F40s and three Ferrari F50s. The Sultan, who's worth an estimated $20 billion, stores the collection in five heavily-guarded airplane hangars and employs a team of mechanics and specialists to keep the cars in perfect working condition.

Our friends over at Autoblog found a beauty on Friday for their eBay find of the day. This sleek silver dreamboat is the Jaguar XJ220, a supercar which hit speed of 217m.p.h, just shy of the 220 that gave it its name. This car, a 1992 has just over 3,000 miles on it. It can be road registered in all 50 states but don't make this your main baby, you will be limited to 2500 miles per year. This auction for this rare beast ends tomorrow and last time I checked bidding was over $143,000.
