Mystery 10 cars for 220k, ad says 1950, might be worth a call to see if there is anything interesting....

whilst part of me thinks this is a scam advert - why would someone with a single digit number plate be flogging cars on dubizzle - its a manual nsx for decent money, form an orderly queue!

Looks like the rest of the plate has been photoshop'ed out. Lots of people love the number 8!

Something looks a bit odd with the head lights, either they are after market or they are not fitted correctly / falling out. Also, not sure that's a standard bonnet, maybe some barrying has been attempted..

They make a great noise, whilst massaging and blowing cool air on your lower back. It's even in GCC White

I can't believe the kind of access to cars you guys get, if that was for sale in Qatar I'd be down there quicker than you can say "best offer please!"

Can't you buy in Dubai and ship it? Or is there all sorts of duties and paperwork etc?

A bargain 1998 Mercedes CL500 with realistic (and believeable!) k's appeared two days ago but now gone.

Damn - really really one another one!

And after saying that not many of my Cadillac around, this is now advertised (same colour and interior as mine):

It's a '91 with 2002+ lights and an aftermarket NSX-R style bonnet, I haven't looked but think it could be Cameron 'Jetpilot's' old car? If it is it was done to a great spec with full alcantara interior etc... and there's me having sold on my 91 auto, always carving a manual smile

and whilst I'm here, I looked at the 456GT and F355 in Princess Motors AD today, been on the market for ages and cheap... sadly there's a reason.

Shame as I quite fancied the financial folly of a 456. They had a Venturi in too... but again a bit tatty.
