Interesting... The 220 at an equiv of £264k and the Turbo S's at £137k for delivery mileage only actually doesn't seem over priced - unless they were driven from Europe to the NZ dealer! All RHD too..

A bit of a Daytona person myself..

Never been a Fezza luster myself so it would be a Turbo S for me but I would prefer it in black []

XJ220 for me every time, if ever there was a car I would want to put in a glass box just to look at, this is it....[]

But that one is way over-priced........

Dino... but it's gone already [8|]
You'd think with millions of $$$ worth of cars you could afford a decent camera to help sell your collection.

What a terrible waste, those beautiful cars not being driven just rotting away in some ****holes private collection for tax free savings.
All part of the inheritance avoidance schemes.

not to use them seems a crime, i guess the whole point of not using them leads to his day when they get to sell them for a profit?

some of the cars seem like decent value - but if you then drove them (which i would!!) the value would be halved no doubt!

Isn't this the sultan of brunei's collection? He's always been a stickler for tax-free savings as far as I can tell...

Well I hope you won't buy them and that way they'll stop hoarding them.
If you do I hope you've got the money to afford to drive them.

Being an owner of a 964 that was stored most of the time before I and the previous owner bought it, averaging less 2k/annum. There were many problems caused by by not driving it, the rubber seals had started to perish, the hood mechanism was binding causing the motors to fail.
I've just been reading about a Ferrari F355 that was stored for 6 years and then needed 20k spending on it to get it in saleable condition again.
So if I hankered for a rare model I'd use a good donor and get one made up. It would be better as I'd make improvements, like only using stainless steel fastenings and any other things that Porsche skimp on when building their cars. Yes I know it won't be original but I wouldn't care. They're cars and need to be driven, not stared at behind doors in some museum for fear of losing money.
There aren't any pockets in a shroud.

I don't think so as the price was Nz$. Also no income tax nor capital gains in Brunei.

The Sultan's European storage (or large collection of cars he occasionally uses when over) are apparently stored underground somewhere off Kings Road in London..
