“Hideyoshi” is written on the body side

The 911 Carrera also arrived in Dubai and was first stripped of its paint until it was white-bodied, before being repainted in a bright Mexican blue. The interior is a beautiful combination of black leather and Alcantara, and of course, the finish is of such a high standard that it could be described as new.

In June 2021, Japanese street artist Roam Couch, who is known for his free wall art in and around the town of Anpachi in Gifu Prefecture, will paint a stencil of Hideyoshi Toyotomi on both the left and right doors, with the words HIDEYOSHI and Hideyoshi. The car was completed with dynamically shaped aero parts by RWB.

In October 2021, the car underwent maintenance by the Alex Lena Motors garage in Dubai to change the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, and engine belt, but no other condition issues were found. The engine was also serviced by a motor garage that replaced the engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, pollen filter, spark plugs, and engine belt. We wonder how Kei Nakai’s purposeful work of art will fare at the auction.

For reference, the expected bidding price was USD 150,000-200,000, but the actual bidding price was USD 120,750. However, if the existence of the RWB becomes more widely known, the price is bound to rise further and further. The auction was a reminder of the same feeling as that of a painting.
