What for, so they can tell you you can't have one? (I'm not bitter - honest).
Well popped in for a chat. They have not had the UAE allocation yet, but the guy reckons he can get me one

Fingers crossed.

I think i would prefer it uni-colour. Then again in my opinion only the original CS atripe looked good, none of the ones that followed.
The seat design is a little weird from those pics

Yes, a very different market for them here. No real appreciation for what the car is, to most it's just a 2009 430 coupe and so the "old model". The majority here want to be seen in the latest version. Cheap to buy, but difficult to sell.

Sounds typical of the middle east. I lived in Oman in the 1980's and early 1990's, things have not changed! So to bring that back to the UK, what would be needed, change lights and speedo? Surprised some of the UK dealers don't start buying these kind of cars and bringing them to UK to sell on. I suppose the issue is knowing what's decent and not out there, at a guess I'd say most of the cars are not well looked after?

Was that to Al Tayer?
The boss is in an F12 currently (was a 458 Spider before) but I have a feeling there could be some interest in this!
Did they give you a ballpark cost?

Having test driven a speciale, If the spider is even half as good as the coupe,then we are in for something special. That 4.5 liter V8 putting out 597 bhp, top speed 201 mph and 0-60 in 3 seconds. They might slow it down a bit and a little weight will be added but with the roof off, you will be able to hear the V8 even LOUDER!!
