Malaysia's first and largest muscle car showroom is now officially open for business

History was made last Saturday in Johor Bahru when the country’s first, only, and largest muscle car dealership – 23 Motors Sdn Bhd, was officially unveiled.

Officiated by Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad, the Johor Bahru Member of Parliament, 23 Motors Sdn Bhd, which serves as an innovative showroom, as well as a muscle car gallery, stretches across an acre at Jalan Dato Abdullah Tahir in, Johor Bahru. It is said that the area is also known as ‘District 23’ among those living in Johor Bahru.

It is said that the facility, which consists of a showroom, a sales gallery, a five-star café, car washing and detailing area, as well as a cozy lounge for customers and potential buyers to sit and relax, is not only the first of its kind in Johor Bahru, but in fact, in whole of Malaysia.

23 Motors Sdn Bhd also has a garage that is part of the whole facility – run by highly trained technicians, and equipped by all the latest and vital tools and technology needed to maintain and service the wide range of muscle cars that are being sold here.

According to Datuk Kaathir Mustaffa, the Managing Director of 23 Motors Sdn Bhd, the company was only established in January 2016, and has received very overwhelming response from enthusiasts, as well as members of the public from all around the region.
