Hello Faisal

I was working in Riyadh in the eighties. Used to spend some of my free time at the used car dealers, one of which was a good friend. We bought a lot of used Mazda 626´s from him, in our line of work they lasted 6 months, or less.
He had an ex royal family MB 600 Landaulet which he sold to Germany. Amazing car. Think it had less than 5000 km on it.
He also had a F40, which he let me use over a weekend. Absolutely amazing car.

We bought quite a lot of german tools for our jobs in Riyadh. Very well stocked.
I even found GEDORE crowfoot 14 and 17 mm wrenches , an essential tool for anybody adjusting valve clearances on 6 cylinder MB engines like M127. Sill have them.

All the best
