Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Police have received their historic Porsche 924 following the completion of restoration work in cooperation with Porsche Centre Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, part of the Ali & Sons Group.
The project is part of efforts to preserve police heritage and document the historical development of the police vehicle fleet in the UAE.
The Porsche 924 joined the Abu Dhabi Police fleet in the 1970s as the first sports car to enter police service. It took part in the official procession welcoming the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during their first visit to the UAE, which included Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
The restoration returned the car to its original specifications while preserving its police identity. Historical photographs and archival documents were used as references during the work.
The vehicle has now returned to the classic car collection of the Abu Dhabi Police Heritage Department, reflecting efforts to preserve police heritage and introduce future generations to the development of security and police work in the country.
