A Malaysian sultan, known for his love of cars, has been given a replica of Fred Flintstone's prehistoric vehicle but he won't be getting blisters on his feet driving it around.
Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, the ruler of Johor state, was given a working replica of the car from the 1960s cartoon series The Flintstones by a fellow royal from Pahang state, according to a post on his Facebook page on Monday.
But unlike the original "footmobile", which Fred Flintstone had to power with his feet, the sultan's car comes with its own engine.
The Flintstones, produced by Hanna-Barbera, and set in the Stone Age, is Sultan Ibrahim's 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 country's head of state.
