For a lot of HNW individuals from the middle east this is part of their contingency planning.

I worked at a Lebanese company in London and a lot of directors had the special versions of their cars, the ones with runflat tires and up armoured.

I recall we had someone kidnaped in Beirut and they got him back quickly.



They had those cars in London? Or only in the middle east?

Why do they need those cars in London?

(HNW = High-net-worth individual, I didn't know)


Yes in London as well there are companies that do these sort of modifications. I suspect Mark Zukerberg and Jeff Bezos have similar mods done.
