In the book he's just listed as an owner, they don't tell how much Gemballa Avalanche he bought.

If you give me your E-Mail I could send better pictures.

- Porsche gallery update -

We don't hear/see that much about the Porsche's in Brunei, while there were at least 160 of them + 5 Dauer's at the main garage complex at the time the big list was compiled. So, here we go

Porsche 964 911 Turbo - 1 picture

1994 964 Horizon Blue metallic 3.6 S. Currently in the UK.

Porsche 996 911 Turbo - 4 pictures

Two pics of a 996 Turbo during an official meeting a couple years ago. One pic of the Crown Prince's silver 996 Turbo (one with green interior). And a picture of the Crown prince getting out of a dark 996.

Porsche 997 911 - 1 picture

Porsche 959 - 1 picture

Bruce Canepa from Canepa design had this 959 in his shop in 2005. He declared that it's ex-Brunei and has a 1000 km on the odometer. This could be the same car that's allready in the gallery and was photographed in Brunei, but since there are so many Brunei 959's that's only a guess. The current whereabouts of this car are unknown to me.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo - 2 pictures

Taken at official events

Porsche 993 911 Turbo Cabriolet - 7 pictures

A special projects group at Porsche made 14 or 16 of these special 993 Turbo's. They were originally made for the largest Porsche dealer in Germany and all badged as oct. 1995 cars. Supposedly the new president of Porsche, Dr. Wendelin was kept in the dark about this project. Most of them used the 964 Turbo 3.6 engine, though there were also other specifications possible, like the GT2 runninggear. I'm not sure what this car exactly has.

The Brunei Royal Family ordered at least one of these cars in RHD. I believe that this was a UK kept car, but the history/details of this car are a bit sketchy.

Here is some info from the ad from when it was for sale: "We are delighted to be able to offer for sale this very rare and factory turbo charged example, which produces approxiamtely 360 BHP. Equipped with 17" Cup Alloy Wheels - Painted in Exterior Colour with Coloured Wheel Badges, Electrically Adjustable Comfort Front Seating, Electric Hood, Driver & Passenger Airbags, On Board Computer, Power Assisted Steering, Rear Seating, Wind Deflector, Air Conditioning Climate Control, Remote Alarm System with Central Locking, Headlight Powerwash System, Tinted Band to Windscreen, Pair of Twin Exhaust Finishers, Carbon Trim to Dashboard, Door Panels and Carbon/Leather Steering Wheel, Exclusive Rear Spoiler."

And now for some Porsche tuners :c

Dauer 962 LeMans - 5 pictures

Let's start with a couple more Dauer pictures. I've added a picture of the engine bay of chassis #175 (red/black); a pretty good quality (though not high-res) of Jochen Dauer standing in between the red (#175) and the black (#172) Dauers; then a small picture of #172 (black/black) with the doors open; and finally two pics of #133 (when it was yellow/yellow): one taken at the 1993 Frankfurt IAA and one pic of the engine bay.

Porsche Slantnose - 1 picture

Besides that this car is extremely hot and that this picture is taken back in the good old days in Bandar Seri Begawan, I can't really tell you anything about this car. It doesn't look like the 930's and 935's I've seen: the wheels are obviously special, the front blinkers are in a different position and the airscoop at the rear wheels seems to be gone or different. The wheels make the member Porsche Addict think that it has something to do with the tuner DP, but he isn't sure.

Porsche Strosek 996 911 Mega - 1 picture

Proving the interest for cars isn't nearly over is this Strosek tuned 996 from the new millenium, leaving the biggest private home in the world.

Gemballa Avalanche - 8 pictures

I was so excited when I found out about this car. It's such an awesome car and really crazy eighties :]. The Gemballa Avalanche is based on the Porsche 930 Turbo. The engine delivers 480 HP wich catapults the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,5 seconds and gives a topspeed of 300 km/h. The starting price of this car was 350.000 DM, but that could go up pretty fast to account for the endless optionlist (like cameras instead of rear view mirrors). And it's a rare car too with only 13 units built.

Thanks alot to Karl from carpassion.com and Bram Corts from http://groups.msn.com/1980extremetuning/ for the pictures of this car!

The Dauer pictures can be found here: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/5.html

PS

Holy crap, there are currently 1122 pictures in the Brunei gallery! I never would have thought we'd discover so much :o:]:nut

basman007 u r doin an amazing job. I am so interested in the Brunei-car-history and the information u collect are incredible

[basman007]

The Royal Brunei car collection's story usually is a nineties one, but there have been a number of classics as well. Here are five of these classics, excluding limo's like Royces and Bentley's.

1972 DeTomaso Pantera - 1 picture

A newer (taken late 2007) picture of the sad Pantera that mr. Kirby Schrader photographed in early 2004 in Brunei. This picture isn't the greatest, but the car seems to be moved to a private garden. Maybe someone is going to try to fix it up?

DeTomaso gallery page: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/15.html

1971 Maserati Ghibli 4.2 auto - 1 picture

I don't have much information on the history of this Ghibli. If it was bought new from the factory it could have been bought by the then 25 year old Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the 17 year old Prince Jefri Bolkiah or their father Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien. It could also very well have been bought on the 2nd hand market, but it's nicer to think it was a family piece At one point in it's life, probably nineties, it has been restored for the Royal Brunei Household without regard to cost by Bill McGrath Limited in the UK. It was sold in recent years with only 500 miles on the odo.

Maserati gallery page: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/22.html

1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 - no pictures

Sold new to Sultan of Brunei in 1968. Then in 1970 it was imported to UK and registered (as an S) ELU 137J to dealer Alan Day Ltd in London. The car is currently with a UK enthusiast and has had S upgrades, but I've never seen pics of this car If anyone has pictures of this car, please post or contact me

1968 Jaguar E-Type S1 4.2 Roadster (S/N 1E1967) - 2 pictures

The history of the car, as supplied by a previous owner who used it in competition and then converted it for road use, is fascinatingly documented in the accompanying history file. According to his research the first owner was none other than the Sultan of Brunei (that's right! not the Prince!), a true connoisseur and collector of motoring exotica. The car then passed to the second owner, David Harris of Bournemouth, who converted it to 'mod sports' specification for competition use. The third owner was Nigel Bourne who hillclimbed the car during which period it boasted a Forward Engineering power unit and V12 brakes. In 1973, it was acquired by Oliver Walker who used it in hillclimb events until 1977 when it was converted back for road use again. This included bodywork being entrusted to respected specialists RS Panels, the engine by Forward Engineering and trim by Suffolk & Turley. The car was then owned by Peter Hampton before being sold through Nigel Dawes in 1983 to Victor Gauntlett, the former boss of Aston Martin. Subsequent owners read like a who's who of eminent collectors as it passed to Sir Anthony Bamford, respected historic racer Frank Sytner who described it as 'a D-Type for the road' before being purchased by the current owner in 1997.

Some info on the current specifications:

The specification of this highly developed E-Type includes a Forward Engineering 4.5-litre engine developing over 320bhp, stainless steel 'bunch of bananas' exhaust, uprated braking system, Spax shock absorbers, lowered suspension, reolica Dunlop alloy wheels, Synchromesh gearbox, Kenlowe fan, replica 'lightweight' E-Type seats, ventilated front discs and organic clutch. In the current ownership the improvement and development of the car has continued with a bare metal respray by RS Panels in 2000 costing in excess of £8,000, modification to accept unleaded fuel and an engine overhaul by the original engine builder Ron Beatty and uprated rear discs by Alan Collins. The car has been regularly maintained by Marcus Barclay and recent replacement parts include the alternator, distributor and brake servo.

1965 Ferrari 250 LM - 23 pictures (including pics from the 2002/2003 restoration and the 1973 crash)

Chassis 6313, built in 1964, started life in 1965 with a number of races in the Ecurie Francorchamps team (1000km Monza, 500km Spa, 1000km Nuerburgring, 24h Le Mans, 12h Reims, Angola GP). After '65 it had a number of owners. Interesting things from this period are that it crashed in 1973, it was mistaken for 6023 in 1976 (owner discovered that it was 6313 during restoration in 1980) and the prices paid in 1975 ($25k) and 1990 ($5.5 million). In the early nineties 6313 was in Japan (including at Art Sports). Then in the summer of '92 it was auctioned by Coys for $1,7 million (!). The buyer could have been Prince Jefri. The only info I've got on this car from 1992 untill 1999 is that PJ was the registered owner in 1996. In the summer of 1999 the car got sold again for $1,95 million at Christie's at Pebble Beach.

Let's do a picture update on the ex-PJ Vector M12. I've found alot of pictures of this car and then I came across Fqogil's Vector archive, so I had even more pictures. I first made a selection of the best pictures and the ones that show interesting details, but then I realised that there are a handfull of people out there that want to see all pictures of this car and since it's the only Vector on that gallery page I just uploaded all of the pics (all 82 of them :nut).

This black 1998 Vector M12 (VIN: 1V9MB1224X1048010) was one of PJ's Vegas kept cars. It was sold to Dr. Briney with 1,300 miles on the odo. Dr. Briney took the M12 to the Crystal Cove meetings a few times. Today, while still in the hands of Dr. Briney, the car is kept amongst it's Brunei brothers at the Marconi Automotive Museum in California.

Thanks to Patrick Shim for the info on this car

Großbritannien

Prinz Jefri auf der Flucht

Von Julia Roebke

Sieht sich in der Rolle des Sündenbocks: Prinz Jefri

19. Juni 2008 Von der Schlossallee direkt ins Gefängnis: Was wie ein Spielzug bei Monopoly klingt, könnte für Prinz Jefri Bolkiah bald bittere Realität werden. Nach dem als „Playboy Prince“ bekannten jüngsten Bruder des Sultans von Brunei wird in Großbritannien mit Haftbefehl gefahndet. Ein Richter veranlasste die Suche nach dem reichen Spross der Königsfamilie aus Südostasien, nachdem der 53 Jahre alte Prinz vergangene Woche zu einer für fünf Tage angesetzten Anhörung am Obersten Gerichtshof in London nicht erschienen ist.

Dort sollte abermals ein Fall verhandelt werden, der die britischen Gerichtsbarkeiten schon seit Jahren beschäftigt und dessen Entscheidung für den Prinzen eine Haftstrafe von bis zu zwei Jahren mit sich bringen könnte. Bolkiah wird vorgeworfen, eine Gerichtsentscheidung vom vergangenen Jahr zu missachten. Eigentlich ist er verpflichtet, mehrere Milliarden Pfund an den Staat Brunei und die staatliche Investmentgesellschaft Brunei Investment Agency (BIA) zurückzuzahlen.

Familienstreitigkeiten Grund der gerichtlichen Auseinandersetzung

Dabei geht es nach Angaben der BIA-Anwälte auch um Luxushotels, Grundstücke in London, Paris und Singapur sowie um eine wertvolle Sammlung von Diamanten. In Großbritannien wird der Fall verhandelt, da der Prinz dort in der luxuriösen St. John's Lodge im Regent's Park wohnt, seitdem er im Jahr 2004 sein Heimatland verlassen musste. Der Oberste Gerichtshof in London ist zudem das höchste Berufungsgericht der ehemaligen britischen Kolonie Brunei. Sollte Bolkiah aufgegriffen werden, „brauchte es einen extrem fähigen Anwalt, mich zu überzeugen, dass er bis zur Verhandlung gegen Kaution wieder freikommt“, wird Richter Peter Smith in der britischen Presse zitiert. Bolkiahs Anwalt in London, David Sandy, bestätigt auf Anfrage die Fahndung nach seinem Mandanten, will sich jedoch zu dem Fall nicht äußern. Kolportiert wird, dass Prinz Jefri sich zur Zeit auf einem seiner Anwesen in Frankreich oder Monaco aufhält.

Zum Thema

Eine Hochzeit wie aus Tausendundeiner Nacht

Hintergrund der gerichtlichen Auseinandersetzungen sind Familienstreitigkeiten im Königshaus Bolkiah. Die Familie regiert das winzige Sultanat auf der Insel Borneo, mit tropischem Regenwald bewachsen und umgeben von Malaysia, mit Unterbrechung seit rund 600 Jahren. Das Land ist etwa doppelt so groß wie das Saarland und hat rund 370.000 Einwohner. Dem jüngsten Bruder des derzeit regierenden Hassanal Bolkiah, eines der reichsten Männer der Welt, wird vorgeworfen, als Finanzminister des an Öl- und Gasvorkommen reichen Brunei von 1986 bis 1998 Geld zweckentfremdet zu haben. Er soll die unglaubliche Summe von 15 Milliarden Brunei Dollar (knapp sieben Milliarden Euro) aus der Staatskasse auf die Konten seines eigenen Unternehmens, der Amedeo Corporation, umgeleitet haben. Prinz Jefri und auch sein Bruder Hassanal wurden durch luxuriösen Lebensstil und ausschweifende Partys bekannt. Unter anderem besaß Jefri damals in dem muslimischen Land eine Luxusjacht, die nach dem umgangssprachlichen Wort für die weibliche Brust benannt war.

Prinz Jefri als Sündenbock der Familie?

Die Asienkrise Ende der Neunziger setzte dem Luxusleben der Familie für kurze Zeit ein Ende. Sultan Hassanal entschied sich, die Finanzpraxis von Jefri Bolkiah genauer zu prüfen. Aus dem geschätzten Bruder wurde über Nacht das schwarze Schaf der Familie. Im Jahr 2000 erzielten die Anwälte der Brüder eine außergerichtliche Einigung, die Jefri Bolkiah dazu verpflichtet, den Großteil seines Vermögens an den Staat Brunei zurückzugeben. Doch der Vertrag konnte dem Familienzwist kein Ende setzen.

Den Gerichtsdokumenten ist zu entnehmen, dass Jefri Bolkiah bis heute behauptet, eine separate mündliche Übereinkunft mit seinem Bruder sichere ihm und seiner Familie zu, den hohen Lebensstandard halten zu können. Nach Berichten bruneischer Medien hat Prinz Jefri vier Frauen und 17 Kinder. An eine Abmachung kann oder will sich sein älterer Bruder jedoch nicht erinnern. Erst vor wenigen Monaten sprach ihm ein Gericht in New York das ehrwürdige New York Palace Hotel zu. Von dem, was Jefri Bolkiah noch bleibt, darunter auch das luxuriöse Bel-Air-Hotel in Los Angeles und ein Fonds mit Geldmitteln in unbekannter Höhe, möchte der Prinz sich daher partout nicht trennen. Alle Vorwürfe seien haltlos, ließ er die Presse aus dem unbekannten Exil wissen. Er habe in seiner Familie eben die Rolle des Sündenbocks.

Brunei cars, but not in Brunei spec yet/anymore.

Sometimes I come across some really interesting pictures of cars that have been in Brunei, but have just not yet undergone their conversion before going to Brunei or have allready been sold of and are allready in a different specification. I have decided to make a seperate page for the ones of you who are interested in these pics (posting them on the normall pages will get confusing). I will not go wild here posting everything I get my hands on, but just those few cars that are of extra interest

Here's the url of this page: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/23.html

Ferrari 288 GTO - 2 pictures

First up are two new pictures + one picture that was allready on the Ferrari page of GTO S/N 55671.

I have posted about this car before, but I want to ask you guys again if you can help me find the article that was written about this car. It was first delivered to Ron Stratton in England who drove it back there from Maranello with a journalist riding shotgun to document what they were like to live with. It was on the plates "C224 EUL" when owned by Stratton.

After a conversion by Pininfarina it appeared in Brunei as:

FER F288 GTO BM9988 ZFFPA16B000055671

Dark Slate with Red Stripe (instead of the standard black stripe). It has a black interior with red piping on the seats.

It's hard to tell wether this is the same car that I've got allready a picture of in the gallery (the one next to the yellow Venice Estate).

In 2007 this car has found a new home with it's 3rd owner in New Zealand.

Ferrari F40 - 11 pictures

Here are 11 pictures taken this year + 5 pics from a few years back that were allready on the Ferrari page of the famous Talacrest F40. The new pics were taken by Paul Bryant.

S/N 91283 was one of the Brunei specials. After being built by Ferrari it was send to Pininfarina to be fitted with a special interior in the style of the Testarossa with leather everywhere, carpets, electric windows, conventional seatbelts and a sound system. It got repainted in a fantastic grey colour with red stripe. And mechanicly it it received a different exhaust and was converted to RHD.

Aparently it was first delivered in Spain before it got transported to Brunei. In 2002 it first appeared in the Talacrest showroom. After it got sold by Talacrest the new owner send the car to Terry Hoyle Racing Engineers for an 18 month restoration. It was brought back to rosso corsa, the TR interior was stripped and new seats were placed. However the electric windows and sound system remain. The engine appeared to be in perfect condition btw.

The then owner then stored 91283 with Duncan Hamilton for some period and attended one photographed (1 pic in the gallery) Ferrari meeting in the UK.

Interestingly enough this F40 appeared on the market again with the comeback of Talacrest on the 1st of april this year after a 5 year sabbattical. It was on the market for only a short period. John Collins has confirmed to me that it was sold during the last days of april/early days of may.

Again I have to say that I think it's an incredible shame that this car has partly been converted back to normal F40 spec

Pictures of this car in Brunei specification canbe found on the Ferrari page: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/6.html

McLaren F1 - 6 pictures

And lastly I'll post a few pictures of how S/N 014 looks today. This car has relatively been covered alot, but I thought it's too interesting not to post

This originally yellow F1 ended up after it's Brunei time, via the UK, with the New Yorker Gaery Schaevitz. In november 2005 it was for sale in the Silicon Valley Auto Group showroom in Los Gatos, California. SVAG did receive bids for the car, but they didn't sell it untill august. In august 2006 014 was auctioned by RM Auctions at Pebble Beach. It was auctioned of at $1.55M + premium to Marvin H. Schein. Schein sent the car back to McLaren in the UK to get it painted white with black LM-style wheels and to get the High Downforce package.

The repaint also meant that the 1996 Michael Schumacher signature was gone. This got 'replaced' with Lewis Hamilton's signature in 2007.

Pictures of this car in Brunei specification canbe found on the McLaren page: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/9.html

Ferrari 400i Spider - 13 pictures

Say hello to yet another special conversion: the Ferrari 400i Spider by Pininfarina. This car has been confirmed by D. Giordannio, Specialised Projects Division, to have been built for HH Prince Jefri.

The entire history of this car is not known to me, but I do know a few things. It's a 400i completely brought up to 412 spec (both looks and mechanical). This conversion took 2 years. I don't know why this conversion took such a long time. One explination for this is that it was first converted by another company who didn't do a perfect job and then it was brought to PF who redid the whole job and by that time two years had passed. This seems plausible since there has been at least one other Ferrari 400i convertible in Brunei, but that car's trim and rear side windows were really bad... (This bad conversion was done by a company in Wales that also did Daytona's)

According to Simon Campbell Pininfarina are only known to have converted one left hand drive car, chassis number 73011. However I can't say for sure of this is that car.

In 1999 this car went to the UK and ended up with Cars International for a period, after wich it ended up on the market with another vendor.

Ferrari F90 - 9 pictures

After years and years of waiting the old photo's of the 1988 Ferrari F90 have finally and for the first been officially revealed in the 2005 Ferrari Yearbook. That is 18 years after the F90 was made!!! The F90 is based on the Ferrari Testarossa and was designed by Enrico Fumia, head of the Pininfarina Research and Development department at that time. The most striking styling cue was the 'edge design' on the nose, grille, the sides and the tail. It also boasted a removable see-through sunroof, a highly unnovative feature for the time. Like in good Brunei fashion the wheels were left stock. The F90 had a front radiator rather than two side ones and a Prodrive steeringwheel mounted gear paddle. It was powered by the 4.9 litre flat 12 mid-engine wich delivered 390 HP. Six F90's were made and reside in the Royal Brunei car collection. Their S/N's are: 86626, 86784, 87195, 86390, 83096 and 88171.

It's interesting to note that official modelcars were brought out before this car was officially recognised by Ferrari.

Ferrari Testarossa - 5 pictures

Pictures of the yellow 1992 Ferrari Testarossa that was logged in the database as "FER TESTAROSSA BN1881 ZFFAA17C000090960". I've got a few more pictures of this particular chassis if there are people interested (same goes for the grigio titanio 512TR btw)..

And one picture of what appears to be a black or dark green Testarossa (picture taken in Brunei).

Ferrari F50 - 14 pictures

Pictures from S/N 102852. This car popped up in the Coys showroom near april this year. It was auctioned during Brands Hatch in may 2008, but it was a 'no sale' with a top bid of GBP £340,000. It was spotted by TonyH at the Verdi garage two weeks before the auction (thanks for the pics, Tony!). And two days later spotted in Chelsea London by streetsupercars.com.

This car is currently owned by Alan Hanly from Ireland. Seeing as there were plans for a car museum at an hotel of his I'm surprised the car was put up for sale.

This was the 2nd time Coys is offering this car for sale. Coys has even used the exact same text in the ad as they did the first time. So, this is not a new car that came out of Brunei, but has been in the UK for quite some time allready.

Ferrari F40 - 1 picture

Unfortunately only 1 picture, but it really is the yellow RHD Ferrari F40. I have no confirmed chassis number, but it could be 78426.

Ferrari 456 - 20 pictures

One picture that shows three Ferrari 456's in Brunei. I can't tell wether these are standard 456's or Brunei specials (like a pre-GTA automatic for instance).

FER F456 GT BP6969 ZFFSP44C000104023

Another 3 small images from when this green Venice Spider was in the UK at Cars International. This was probably around the year 2000. Eventually it ended up with Dick Marconi in the USA. I've also added a few pictures from the Marconi Museum.

FER F456 GT BN3223 ZFFSP44C000103190

I've added one picture of the green Venice SW from when it was just in the UK, a few pics from when it was at the Coys Historic Festival on Silverstone in 1999 and one picture from when it attended Goodwood FoS (not sure of the year of Goodwood). After these public appearances and after being offered for sale by DK Engineering and by Taylor & Crawley Ltd. this car disappeared of my radar. I'd love to know where it is now and I'd love to see it in real life one day...

An interesting thing to note here is that, while some say this car was never delivered to the Brunei Royal Family, it's chassis number was logged in the car database.

I've also added two more pictures of the silver Venice SW while driving through London. While some say this is the green car repainted silver I think that is not the case. Italtecnica has made a Venice SW ground up that looks exactly like this one. But untill we get the S/N we can't be sure...

I've also added a detail shot of the rear door on the silver Venice Sedan.

[basman007]

Here's the Mini pic I was talking about. I also added a handfull of other pics to the gallery

Mini - 3 pictures

I've got three pics of three different Mini's.

First up is a classic convertible in a great green colour.

Then there is this Mini painted with a flower motive. This Mini was made in 1968 by Wood & Pickett. It had black leather seats, tinted windows, a gold en jewel encrusted insignia and of course the eyecatching flower paintjob.

And Lastly there is this new Mini Cooper S wearing registration A1. I think that's a pretty cool combo A1 is, in today's market, a million dollar license plate When it was acquired in 1993 together with 1A, they were both on white Bentley's. BTW, as you might have figured, A1 is Britain's first license plate.

Two for the price of one.

Well, not exactly, but it sounds good Talacrest acquired two well known Pininfarina Specials, the totally rebuilt 1992 F40 #091283 and the 1996 F50 #102852. Interesting to know is that the F40 has covered 8000 kms so far and the F50 less than 2000 miles.

It's remarkable that the F40 is in this package deal, because last time I posted about this car it was confirmed to me that the F40 was sold in april 2008 by Talacrest...

Last time the F50 was for sale it was a no-sell at the 2nd Coys auction it saw in it's existance.

11 new pics of the F50 can be found on Ferrari page #1: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/6.html

And 9 new pictures of the F40 can be found on the ex-Brunei spec page: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/129612/976/23.html

BMW Italdesign Nazca M12 - 16 pictures

For a little information on the M12 concept check this page: http://www.supercars.net/cars/826.html

I assume this blue M12 is 003/ID from 1993. The specs of this car are a little different from the first concept. The 5,7 litre V12 by Alpina delivers 350 bhp @ 5200 rpm and 346.7 LB-FT @ 4000 rpm. The curb weight is a 1000 KG and it has a 5 speed manual.

These pictures were taken during Hong Seh's 40th anniversary celebrations.

Cizeta V16T - 21 pictures

Four pictures of the 2nd Pininfarina converted V16T, wich is still uncompleted and is currently @ VDV.

And the rest of the pictures are of the 2nd to last delivered Cizeta, the 1993-ish blue one. First up is a picture taken during a car salon, but I'm not sure wich one. Perhaps Geneva? The other pictures were taken during Hong Seh's 40th anniversary celebrations.
