Abu Dhabi Unveils Restored Porsche From Royal Motorcade Arabian Post


Date:

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> Abu Dhabi Police have taken delivery of a restored Porsche 924 that escorted Queen Elizabeth II during her first visit to the United Arab Emirates in 1979, reviving one of the country's earliest performance police vehicles.

The sports car was formally handed back at Al Maqta Museum on Monday after restoration by Porsche Centre Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, part of Ali & Sons Holding. It will be displayed publicly at the Icons of Porsche festival in Dubai on 21 and 22 November before returning to the police heritage collection in Abu Dhabi.

The restoration sought to return the vehicle to its original specifications while retaining its distinctive police appearance. Technicians consulted historical photographs and archival documents, recreating painted police markings rather than applying modern decals, Porsche said. The car had been transferred to the company's Abu Dhabi service facility earlier this year for the work.
