Oh man thats terrible. I've always loved the shape of that car. This reminds me of the photos of the US troops that destroyed all of Sadam's exotic vehicles

There was a pic like that of an Aston Martin in Dubai. I suspect that it was owned by people with debt (Dubai market crash) and they are fleeing the country.
If you have an outstanding debt in the gulf you cant leave. If you cant pay its jail. |

I may know a friendly Nigerian banker, who for the right price(just to cover his costs), may be able to send it here. Just thinking out loud.

That's just depressing. I hope it hasn't REALLY been abandoned. I really REALLY hope not.

You'll notice the Windscreen Wiper is incorrect.... actual ferrari F40's had a central wiper that swung 180degrees... that was the first thing I noticed... Still - too nice to be leaving out in the street!!!

Look where the bonnet clasp joins the lower body kit and you'll see how it doesn't quite match up, with no signs of impact damage either. It's also too short and tall.

As someone already mentioned, it's very common in Dubai.
People with "GFC issues" drive to the airport in the luxury car, jump on a plane and can never go back so the cars just sit there. Apparently they are all around the airport. No one takes them cos if you steal the car and get caught then your in pretty deep trouble too... |
