Many petrolheads dream of having a garage or warehouse packed full of desirable classic, luxury, and performance models , despite often costing millions of pounds to achieve. However, some lucky car fanatics live this dream, with the largest car collection owned by an unlikely figure. Featuring more than 7,000 cars, the biggest collection of vehicles is owned by Hassanal Bolkiah, the 29th Sultan of Brunei.
Reigning over the Asian nation that has raised a lot of revenue from oil and gas , it is only natural that the Sultan has a large number of interesting vehicles, including classic and supercars , which are believed to be worth a combined figure of around £4 billion. Largely inherited from the Sultan of Brunei's brother, Prince Jefri Bolkiah, in 1997, the collection even boasts other records within, including the largest private collection of Rolls-Royces at aproximately 150 examples. Whilst the impressive collection is closely guarded by a bombproof front gate, those given a rare opportunity to visit the site housing the 7,000 cars over the years have revealed a number of interesting and unusual models .
The Sultan of Brunei's car collection is housed in a building spanning eight floors, with the ground level dedicated to a wide range of Porsche performance cars. The majority of Porsches owned by the collector are 911s, spanning over the model's production run of 61 years and counting, but others include 928 GTSs, 944s, and 968s, most of which date from the 1980s and 90s. .
