These are the latest pictures taken earlier this month.. Still no Vin numbers (:

It appears the owner knows they have (possibly) have Kuwaiti origins and they found their way into Iraq during the Gulf War

But haven't given up yet.

Rescue, does that mean, returning them to the lawful owners in Kuwait that they were probably stolen from?

I looks like the stainless steel skin on the bonnets has actually delaminated from the backing, presumably that's due to the heat.

Lo-loader....

Jason, you have no faith in the reliability of these cars, obviously they would be driven back.
