Yeah but that was back when there was still a huge public intrest, nowdays I've heard the whole area is derelict, but yes I guess the only way in is to say in buying some cars like that guy in the article did, shame he couldn't save any though I would of spoke with my goverment about importing them without paperwork, those cars are exeptional and should be above the law

I'm not able to sleep at night knowing that there is $4,000,000,000 worth of exotics just rotting away in a rainforest. It would be cool if all of his cars were auctioned off by RM or Russo and Steele in one big auction

I have seen a Vector M12 and Mclaren F1 that used to be part of his collection. Sadly most of the cars never made it out and they have been rotting away for about the last 15 years. If you haven't done so already, read this.
Do you think they will ever be able to get those poor cars out?

I just posted an F1 the Sultan used to own. That makes two ex Sultan cars on ES today.

If we ever get part of the collection, I call all of the shooting brakes, Bentleys, and one special-ordered Ferrari

It's always fascinating to read about rare vehicle collections like this one. While it's unfortunate that so many unique cars have reportedly been left unused for years, preserving historically significant automobiles is important for enthusiasts and future generations. I was recently reading about the BSA Lawsuit, which reminded me how legal disputes and ownership issues can sometimes complicate the preservation or transfer of valuable assets. Hopefully, more of these incredible cars can eventually be restored and appreciated instead of being lost to time.
