Wrong game mate, what you want to become is a Project Controls Specialist in Qatar. All you need do is add the the words 'Primavera P6' and 'Consultant' to your car salesman based CV and you're good for a QAR 50k package. Add the words motorway, railway, metro, KBR, CH2MHill, AECOM, Parsons, then you can aim for the QAR 60k + bracket. However, to break into the QAR 70k + bracket, you need to add the words 'iPad app' and 'Dashboard' to your CV.

Half an hour before your many interviews, grab a coffee and spend 10 minutes researching 'Project Controls', then get ready for your dream career.

If you have a reliable contact in Europe who can buy cars from auctions and export them to you then you can make good money from this business.
A cheaper version is to sell second hand car parts, and you don’t have to worry about LHD/RHD. If you want your suppliers to be from the UK you can specialize in Rover cars for example.

Yep, cos Rovers are in such massive demand in Doha.

Have you actually been there?

motorcycles are short life consumables, come in uni drive (LHD/RHD), and are in big demand in Qatar.
No one is interested in second hand land/range rovers because second hand ones don't work and cannot be repaired or maintained.
New cars (tax free) in Qatar are cheaper than second hand cars from auctions in Europe so I am not sure how that will work financially.

They're owned by Tata group (Indian) and in the UK are JLR (Jaguar Land Rover).

Rover are owned by the Chinese who make really cheap products usually for their home market.

If I recall there are no Rover factories in the UK.
