    Protec continued its successful on going relationship with Emirates Motor Company with the successful launch of Mercedes flagship sports car; The SL 500.

    1500 VIP guests attended the launch at The Hilton Beach Club in Abu Dhabi.

    The show, dubbed "The Story of Passion" involved Protec unveiling four vintage SL's as well as the star of the show, on a 21m x 16m stage.

    Protec also produced a "Story of passion" video that showed guests how the car had evolved over the years.

    Protec's involvement did not stop at the show. We also helped EMC find a vintage SL gullwing for the show. This vehicle had to be insured for a whopping US$ 775,000 just for the event!
