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.

1. Multi-Destination Vacations – Because travelers want to get the most out of their vacations, there have been more multi-destination vacations in the past year. "We are starting to see an increased interest in combined itineraries such as India and Bhutan or Peru and Argentina," said Mr. Stanley. " With new air routes coming on board, like LAN's route between Lima and Iguassu, visiting two countries in one trip is more convenient, allowing travelers the opportunity to experience what they want from a combination of countries in one trip."
