context_page_description: The car collection of the 29th Sultan of Brunei is the largest private car collection in the world, consisting of approximately 7000 cars which have an estimated combined value over $5 Billion USD. The 29th Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, is one of the last absolute monarchs of the modern era. He is the 29ᵗʰ Sultan and Yang di-Pertuan, Prime Minister, Defence Minister, Finance Minister, and Head of Religion of the Nation of Brunei. The majority of his wealth is sourced from oil and gas development, which has allowed him to amass a net worth of $20 billion USD, making him the second richest royal in the world after King of Thailand, Maha Vajiralongkorn. This wealth combined with his interest in cars has allowed the Sultan to purchase over 2000 cars, including more than 600 Rolls-Royces, 550 Mercedes Benzes, 450 Ferraris Within his collection of cars, the Sultan’s collection of Ferrari F40s, McLaren F1s, and Rolls-Royces are particularly notable due to the rarity of the vehicles and their value.
context_section_description: The Rolls-Royce Phantom VI was produced from 1968 to 1990, and was commonly used by the British Monarchy. The Sultan of Brunei custom ordered four Phantom VIs, named the Rolls-Royce Cloudesque  The car was a modernised version of the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, produced from 1955 to 1966, having undergone engine modifications and transmission upgrades.  The engine was a 6.75L Rolls Royce L410 V8 found in the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit Mk III, with the turbo and catalyst removed.  The car was also modified to have a boot similar in design to that of the Rolls Royce Silver Seraph.  The Chassis numbers for the four vehicles are as follows:
  The character in the position of the fifth spot of each chassis number dictates whether the vehicle is a standard customer order or not. The letter 'H' indicated that these four vehicles were modified vehicles made for select customers, specifically destined for the Sultan of Brunei.
