      Omg, yes mate you are correct!
      the UAE does not import/sell HOLDEN vehicles (same as every other country on earth) Holden is an exclusively Australian only brand, however a couple of models in very limited numbers exported to NZ and South Africa. Okay so Mate, please tell us where does this "UAE CHEVROLET CAPRICE" originate from? Built in UAE yeah? 😆😆😆

      @@joshbrookes6439 Holden did export to the UAE, but its' the top of the range Caprice (the Statesman I mentioned is the next level below). Built in Australia & was the last of the older platform, now sadly discontinued as big, rear wheel drive 4-door sedans no longer sell locally anywhere near levels where they did - together with the (AUS) Ford Falcon, possibly the best value for money 5 seat sedans in the world. Holden sourced the Chev engines from US, but pretty much did the rest - from design to final build. Mike Simcoe was Holden head of design for years - now is GM worldwide boss ...

    I had the privilege of being taken out by George Harrison in his XJ220. Was working in Henley down the road from Georges home. One day in the garage opposite George turned up to speak to the guys about another car of his up on the lift. He was an easy going bloke and really approachable. So wandered across to see his XJ220, when he asked if would like to go for a drive, and before I knew it he had opened the passenger door and ushered me in. He was not shy in putting his foot down so we shot off through the industrial estate, out and down the road, for about ten minutes. He loved the car and was pointing out lots of details about how special it was. Really was a nice fella indeed. He proceeded to take half of my colleagues out soon after and left about two hours later. Saw George quite often around Henley and he always remembered my name and said hello to me. Total legend! As is the XJ220 :)

    Sam, If your tried to register the Porsche the RTA would not pass these tyres anyway, the RTA are more strict than the UK and the dates on tyres are critical. We shipped in European new vehicles and when you register we had 3 year old tyres which we had to change to comply.. If you look at the registration plates on any Dubai car you will see a date sticker which will be replaced every year once inspected.

    Fantastic! The XJ220 screams for a company to go around it and improve the overall build quality, panel gaps, interior trim, as well as the (probably) suspension, etc. It's a fantastic idea (and car for that matter) just slightly badly executed that deserves a lote of TLC.
