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.

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.
