The car, which carries the personalised plate "Celeb GP", is one of a kind. Moosa said he builds a car specifically for the show every year and ships it from South Africa. The Tiffany Blue BMW E30 Cabriolet features a panoramic roof, custom hand-stitched interior, BBS wheels, air suspension, and a built-up engine.
The vehicle has racked up an impressive résumé back home. It has featured in 34 music videos, appeared in a Netflix series, and landed a spot in the Nike catalogue. "If you Google the most famous E30 in Africa, you'll see this car," Moosa told the reporter with confidence.
