The FX, built for the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei, it's new home is the Marconi museum in Tustin Ca


completed in 1995, towards the end of the car collecting craze that the Brunei collection was the epitome of, but, towards 2000, the fortunes collapsed and the fast and loose finances were exposed to have been pulling many millions from an oil company owned by Prince Jefri, and that company was found to be 6 billion in debt, and the Prince had taken about 14 billion from the countries oil fortune.

One example of his lavish and ludicrous spending was a yacht named to offend his conservatively religious brother, and it's life boats. Tits was the name he put on the yacht, and the lifeboats were cunningly named nipple 1 and nipple 2
