How hard is it to get a european exotic car (EU small series approved or nationally registerd one-off) on the streets in middle east countries? Has anyone experience with such a thing? Suggestions how to get these informations about the registration process and the requirements for these countries?

Thank you for your replies.

in the uae, generally speaking, if it is lhd and has a chassis plate then it can be registered. however if its the first of its kind then it won't be on any of the rta [road traffic authority] systems so you would have to do some legwork.

could put you in touch with a guy who registered the first ultima in the country, he would know the process.

what is the car?
It would be great to get the Ultima contact. The cars don´t exist yet. The point is to get an idea where it could be selled to.

Note..there are some new rules in place...something to do with another government agency checking and approving the car first...so it may not be as easy as it once was..

Theses sources are about used cars, not new ones. Thank you anyway.

Money is less an object than feasibility. Of course it´s a show stopper as soon as we had to go into destructive testing.
