I saw what appeared to be a full size Hyundai pickup truck the other day. It was bigger than the Santa Cruz.
There used to be a Lincoln Blackwood that lived in Warr Acres. I'd pass by it a couple times a week. I did see a Mark LT last week at the OnCue, getting gas.
Also, Metro Ford had three Mavericks in stock last month.
 
Toyota Century

Ever since the newly revised law in 2021, i began to see individuals importing various RHD cars. Most were a slew of your typical 90s "JDM" cars but one or two have actually imported a V12 Century.

Funnily enough, i've actually seen a factory LHD Century twice before so this isn't my first time either.

RAM TRX Ignition Edition

Saw this few times on my afternoon commute back home. Apparently, it's one of 12 TRXs that have been officially exported and sold in Bahrain. Number is actually quite trivial when compared to the literal hundreds that have been sold in Emirate and Qatar lmao.

BMW 850CI (E31)

Not exactly a BMW guy but i quite like some of their older offerings. E31 being one of my favourite. Saw this outside a Hotel in Juffair.

Toyota Land Cruiser GX (200 series)

While not exactly that interesting to most, this is basically my ideal spec if i wanted to own a 200 series for whatever reason.

A proper, no frills, base model with a factory winch, a set of steelies, a proper manual gearbox, a basic radio and barn doors. It's only really let down by the fact that it has a 1GR V6. While it's not a bad engine by any means, i wish if it had any of the available V8s.

Saw this at my University funnily enough.

I saw a '68 Mustang yesterday but i was rushing to the campus so I couldn't stop and take a look unfortunately.

Otherwise, it's mostly uneventful.

Land Cruiser VX.R (FZJ80)

Unlike other GCC nations, SUVs in general were never that popular in Bahrain prior to the 2000s. Coupled with the fact that most J80s have been re-exported to other countries like Yemen, Sudan and such makes this an uncommon spot nowadays.

Honda Integra Type R (DC5)

Another recent JDM import, found this at a tyre/performance shop within a fuel stop.

VW ID.6 Crozz

VW haven't offered any EVs in Bahrain yet so this was somewhat of a surprise. Not sure why did this person decide to import an VW of all the EVs he/she could have imported but alright.
