If only that were true! The moment something breaks, the car just gets sold on - sheikhs don't pay for repairs. And the "fact" (do you have proper evidence?) that the car was owned by one of the Maktoums doesn't actually mean it was ever driven by one of them, or that they even knew they had it

It usually means it was thrashed to bits and then moved on when they broke it, or got bored of it. They'll just buy a new one

He probably used it to carry his horses...or camels...or harems.

Indeed - the big Maktoums tend to crash around in G-Wagons, Lambos and SLRs

I want to get my hands on one of those tricked up 20 year old Patrols or Landcruisers that the locals drive.

I quite fancy a 6 litre V8 truck engine powering my ageing 4x4.

I am sure you will fall in love with it too if you see it with your own eyes. I have seen surveys which say that Range Rovers are seen as the most unreliable luxury 4x4s by owners but the same owners also say they are very satisfied by their Ranges. I can understand why...
