Thanks. Some leads there. Much appreciated!

That depends. If its saudi then the wife wont need a car (cant drive there), so it'll be a 456 (love them). If its dubai then I'd prefer a 360 f1, and then i'd get a 4x4 for the mrs.

Got your pm too. I'll give them a call. thanks.

Firstly i've tried to find websites where I can find cars for sale with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? In particular im looking for a Ferrari.

Being quite rare if I cant find one there I might import one. Does anyone know what the import duty is for 2nd hand cars in both countries?

Finally if anyone can point me to any garages who have websites and deal in these kind of cars, that will be great.

I have many other questions non car related but im finding lots of great info in the searches.

Thanks
Try Exotic Cars or House of Cars.
