The World Cup-winning star, famed for his legendary 1986 performance that cemented his place in football history, reportedly enjoyed driving the agile and athletic i8.
It was acquired directly from him in November 2018, two years before his passing.
The current consignor is offering the vehicle with just 13,478 miles on the clock, reports Whats The Jam.
And the GCC-region specification is complete with a full set of service records and an AutoHub inspection, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a car that blends performance, style and sporting history.
Powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, paired with an electric motor, the i8 could travel up to 37 kilometres on electric power alone and achieve an impressive 76 MPGe when combining both systems.

This particular example remains in excellent condition.
A spokesperson for SBX Cars said: “This Middle Eastern-specification, low-mileage i8 comes with strong service history and celebrity ownership.
“It is a supercar fit for the collector who demands both performance and provenance.”
