This same guy is asking about the former Shah of Iran's cars on another forum. The ones that remain intact are in some sort of museum in Tehran.
Just a guess, but I think the Sultan of Brunei has so many cars that even he could not answer this question.

If you go to different pages, there are different car marquees. Pg. 10 is MB and I didn't see any SLRs (of course, I do not know how long ago these were taken)

He probably has one, but I ain't seen it. He's often seen driving his ML55 nowadays. Someone here does have an SLR though. It's black and it appears from the registration plate it isn't someone from the royal family. Saw it a couple of weeks ago on the highway. Absolutely, freaking awesome!

i think he must be the king of another country and wants to make sure he keeps up with the other sultans.
