If he stole your car, he could get off on the defence he couldnt remember if he owned it or not but statistically it was quite likely he did

Seem to be a fair few UK plates. Probably someone from DVLA having a laugh. Thought cossie vins started with WFOF.

I am assuming these cars, if all his, will be spread over an assortment of countries or people.

I can just imagine him getting into his L reg Mondeo Diesel and driving down to Wandsworth to start a night shift as an unlicensed cabbie.

Mind you he's so rich he probably has the license.

Think his son was on the The Fabulous Life of Filthy Rich Billionaires on mtv the other day and he gave usher a 250,000 dollar pair of diamond incrusted trainers so it looks like being extravagant with there money runs in the family.

Well I've not seen it personally - tis only secondhand information, but fromo a reasonably reliable source, as the guy has sold the family a couple of cars over here.

I do know that the road where the family have a house in London.............. they bought two mutli-million pound houses next door to each other and built an extension to join them!

Could that road be bishops avenue

Yerr he sold his estate ferrari!!!

Rumour has it he is selling of the normal cars i.e diablos etc and amgs probably he will still keep one or two but he is seling the rest something about upgradding the fleet!!

Also that list is out of date as their are no new super cars were as actually they have never stopped buying cars theey have calmed down geting cars built etc etc but have accquired more cars over the years!!!

I also read some where that he gave the burj al- arab in dubai all their phantoms in white

The picture of the rabge rover sport with a tiger is actually a sheikh in dubai noe the sultans relatives/ sons

As the thread on the BMW forum says, why is there no SLR or Enzo which means it must be fairly old. Personally dont believe it but thats me.

He was the only person to ever own a Factory RHD F40 - He had to order 6 in order for Ferrari to agree to Pininarina to be authorised to carry out the conversion

No other person ever had a RHD F40 delivered direct from Ferrari

One of these is curently for sale in Classic and Sportscar

Until a purge on costs a few years ago all ex Brunei cars were dumped at sea rather than being sold on
