| A vehicle replicating the Flintstones car given to Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar of Johor |
A Malaysian sultan, known for his love of cars, was this week given his very own car right out of history, but he wonโt be getting blisters on his feet driving it around.
Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, the ruler of the state of Johor, was given a working replica of the car from the 1960s cartoon The Flintstones by a fellow royal from Pahang state, according to a post on the Johor sultanโs official Facebook page on Monday.
But the unlike the original โfootmobileโ, which Fred Flintstone had to power with his feet, the sultanโs car comes with its own engine.
The Flintstones, produced by Hanna-Barbera, and set in the Stone Age, is Sultan Ibrahimโs favourite cartoon, the post said.
Malaysia has nine sultans, who reign ceremonially in their own states as well as take turns every five years to serve as Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the countryโs head of state.
