Great article

These pictures are very rare, and any information on the cars and scale of this collection is scarce, so i am glad you have shared this 8)

Nobody knows how many cars he has got, but there is a lengthy thread about his cars in Car Chat ...

Sorry about the quality of the scans, I didn't scan the article myself. I've got photoshop, so if you really find it that bad, I can tweak it?

I've got an article about his younger brother Jifri/Jefri. Will try to dig it up.

He is actually the one with a penchant for fast cars, big boys toys and women. There was a garage sale a few years ago, if you could call it that (it was housed in a few warehouses) of the Sultan's collection and some things like fine art which Jifri paid a ridiculous amount were got for a bargain. I also remember reading that he had a couple of flight simulators (the proper pilot training type). Ah , if only I had a big fat bank account, the things I would do...

thenumber1, I'm gonna do a search but would you mind postin gthe link to the discussion you mention? Sorry for being lazy :/

tanelvali, could you email me any pictures/articles you have about the Sultan's collection?

As I said in my opening post, I would give my left nut for his garage. A family member (by marriage) was the head anesthetist to the Royal family during the 1980s. Everytime he was involved in any sort of procedure (even if he didn't have to administer an anesthetic) the whole medical team would get gifts. His would be a solid gold Rolex... lucky sod, happened so many times it was not funny.
