I am pretty sure the vid is of a collection in the US not the Sultans. Most of his cars are rhd (even the F40s) and UK spec

A number of the cars on the list on the other site are everyday staff cars used at his london home, like the Mondeos etc, its also quite an old list thats been doing the rounds for many years

Double checked and as I thought the first video is of a fella known as the sultan of Michegan and its a collection in the states not Brunei, here is some more footage of the same place

I dont think there has ever been any public video of the Brunei collection
