Abu Dhabi Police has brought one of its most significant historic vehicles back to its former glory. The force has taken delivery of its restored Porsche 924 following an extensive project carried out in collaboration with Porsche Centre Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, part of the Ali & Sons Group.
The sports car joined the Abu Dhabi Police fleet in the 1970s, making it the first sports car to enter police service in the UAE. It also has an interesting place in the country’s history, having been part of the official motorcade that welcomed the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during their first visit to the UAE.
The restoration was aimed at bringing the Porsche back to its original specs while retaining its distinctive police identity. Historical photographs and archival documents were used to guide the work.
The restored 924 will now become part of the Abu Dhabi Police Heritage Department’s Classic Cars Collection.
