Also, the Sultan has thousands of cars, but due to the trouble within the family (with his brother) he has locked the garages, and it is unknown if he has started to enjoy these cars again.

He has five McLaren F1's, many Bentley's and Ferraris. Most of his cars are custom made by the manufacturer. It was recently reported that he had ordered 30 new Rolls Royce Phantoms, but he has denied this.

There is a lack of information on this guy's massive and unique collection, i think that somebody should created a dedicated website....

Just finished reading all posts on this topic and one question constantly appeared, WHY? WHY? WHY??

I think humans get pleasure one things that are unique and to some point very limited, once in a lifetime experiences, like sleeping with Britney (or any of your dreams females), or having a Mclaren for day.

If you have so many cars, houses etc u don’t enjoy none of them and you’re a fucking idiot.
6 Mclaren’s, 5 F50, 5 F40??? He should be shot for letting these cars locked in a garage. These are not cars these are masterpieces, they should be out there with someone that could take care of them and love them as they love there wife’s .

What a fucking looser.

The blue car and the two pictures of the red one are of the Pininfarina Mythos which was based on the Ferrari Testarossa of the 80's and 90's...the one in the picture that you've identified as a Tamora is in fact a Tuscan S, not a Tamora (it even says so on the back end)

Show that Bling bling F40 to me and I'll believe it...gold is awfully soft to be made into body panels...and heavy too...kind of goes at cross-purposes to the Kevlar composite body that the car usually has.

I have a copy of an Autocar article on his cars from 1998 but it's a black and white copy not the original so it wouldn't be interesting to scan it i suppose but there are some pics of his collection taken from his garages If someone has the original article it would be appreciates

from what i heard he didn't buy the cars himself, but it was his brother. i forget how many warehouess of cars they had. later on heard that he got mad at his brother for spending so much and was losing money himself, so he just started selling the cars off and no longer has the collection he once had. they would basically just let a few co-workers use them and special guests every once in a while. its pretty pointless if you ask me. i guess it can be a status symbol, but what ever. from my point of view it just shows greed and he never knew the value the cars meant to others. can you imagine owning hundreds posibly thousands of cars and them all having over 500hp? sounds like fun right?, NO. when they get into drive one they could never tell the difference exept for the blind spot. it makes me mad to see how these cars were wasted, hopefully now they have a better home.
