Information
Park Ward Drophead Coupé
Delivered new to H.R.H. Abd al-Ilah of Hejaz, Crown Prince of Iraq
Repainted in white with red leather during the ownership of Omar al-Janabi
Featured in the 1993 documentary 'King Ghazi of Iraq'
When Saddam Hussein saw the car in the movie, he immediately wanted it. Saddam sent agents to his home asking if he wanted to gift the vehicle to the dictator. After Janabi’s initial refusal, these men began following him around Baghdad. Soon thereafter, he decided it was best to hand over the keys to Saddam’s agents, realising that his life was more important than his beloved Bentley.
