In a thrilling escapade through the heart of Dubai's car culture, Hagerty embarks on a riveting journey to a hidden gem - a junkyard owned by the enigmatic Ibraham bin Safan Alsamsi. This passionate individual dreams of restoring a treasure trove of Japanese cars to their former glory, including a rare Hakoska GTR that sets the team's hearts racing. Amidst the dusty relics lies a story waiting to be told - a tale of resilience and dedication to preserving automotive history.
As the team delves deeper into the collection, they uncover hidden gems like a destroyed race car and original GTR, each whispering tales of their past glory. The sight of Land Cruisers standing strong in the desert sun serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these vehicles. With a keen eye for detail, the team admires the craftsmanship and durability that went into building these machines, marveling at their potential to roar back to life.
Ibraham's unconventional restoration methods, using only hand tools and sheer determination, add a layer of authenticity to the project.

Amidst the roar of engines and the scent of burning rubber, Hagerty's adventure in Dubai transcends mere car culture - it becomes a celebration of passion, history, and the unbreakable bond between man and machine. As the team bids farewell to the sun-soaked shores of Dubai, they carry with them memories of a journey that not only unearthed hidden treasures but also reignited their love for the open road.
