God that 512TR is lovely!

I've been to Al Hai as well in early 2011. Here a few cars that I saw. That 911 Turbo S was lovely! They were asking 300k AED for it, it's a shame that I couldn't afford it as I would've loved to own it...

Unfortunately one of the sales assistants wasn't too fond of me taking pics...

i'm sure it was more than 300, that would be cheap for a 993 turbo s even in that horrid colour.

the chenille now lives in the marina, on the street opposite bobs fish & chips.

Love that 993 until I got to the interior.... why would anyone think that was a nice colour?
That exterior colour with a nice black interior would be perfect.

I think it's a cracking combo!

All i can say is that it looks better in the photos- its a bloody awful colour in the metal.

Its ironic that they didnt like you taking pics..I am sure if they had a proper website, location map and actually answered the phone, they would have a global classic car business...but in typical fashion, its a great kept secret.

Right about the stock- some amazing stuff and some crap. Owmer is a very polite man but the staff can be ignorant

Interestingly Al Ain Class Motors doesn't let anyone take pics and videos any more, which is quite odd since I know people who've taken pictures and videos over there for years...

I've heard various stories to this. One is that some guy dropped his camera on one of the cars, and the staff weren't too pleased with that. Another one is that some owners babysit their cars at the dealership and they don't appreciate pictures of their cars being on the internet, although the person said that they don't mind taking pics/vids but if they find them on the internet they will take action.

I'm quite puzzled really.

[Hitch78]

They've had quite a lot of press with the new showroom so it might just be one of those things that has gotten out of hand. In other parts of the world you'd need an appointment just to view their stock never mind take pictures!

I'd like to take a briefcase full of chopped up newspaper, bound with 500 notes on top, flash the 'cash' and leave the briefcase locked with them while test driving some interesting motors....

Of course, nothing would tickle me on the night and most probably have to go to Barasti to make my mind up a bit....
