Inside ‘world’s biggest’ supercar graveyard where rich drivers dump £170k cars in desert
Daily Star reader, that you were wealthy enough to own a ridiculously-priced super car.Now imagine that the car was a little bit past its sell-by date, or had some kind of damage on it, as happens with every car.Most people in that situation would either have it repaired or sell it on as second hand – but not if you live in Dubai, the land of the uber-wealthy.READ MORE: Over half of ambitious young adults plan to ditch their jobs and start own businessThe most populated city in the United Arab Emirates, and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, the city has several supercar scrap heaps.And in them you'll find masses of Lamborghinis worth more than £170,000 or top of the range BMWs, Ferraris, Audis and Aston Martins.Most of them have been seized having been found abandoned, or were taken by the courts because the owners were in debt.But while in the UK a scrapyard such as this would contain Renaults, Citroens and Nissans, in the city where money is no object the vast areas contain cars worth more than the average UK property.And shockingly, according to some local reports, some of the extravagant cars are dumped there because their owners just couldn't be bothered to sell them on when they bought a new one.If this happens, and it is found randomly on a street with no previous owner in sight, one is tracked down and 15 days notice is given by government officials before it ends up on the heap – which more often than not, it does.Most of the scrapyards are located in the area of Dubai known as Industrial City.One, called Copart UAE Auctions, can be seen on Google Maps with row upon row of cars waiting to either be sold at auction or scrapped for parts.Another called Scrap Any Car, which was once featured on Top Gear, has
