Hi guys,

I may have asked this question on here before...if so, apologies!! I did have a quick look and it wasn't in the last 60 days!!

Anyway, I've been on the lookout for a classic US muscle car for years now...and there's one I'm going to see this weekend.

I know I can buy it for export purposes...but does anyone know if I can get a Mukria from Abu Dhabi and insure and drive it myself here?

My next move is to go ask the police! But I wondered if anyone on here happens to know...

Thanks,
J.

I've seen classics (like Etype jag) on road in AD on AD plates, so it must be possible, but I'm not sure how to get it done.

How old are you thinking?

The gent who runs Tomani Classics seems like a good bloke maybe stop by and see what level is wasta is needed to register a classic on a 'normal' plate - as they have done for theirs.

As far as I know the only official route for us foreigners is to join the Sharjah Car club and register the car through them.
