Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan (also known as Rainbow Sheikh) is not your average billionaire. He is also a prominent member of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) royal family. With a net worth of approximately $20 billion, he owns the world’s most unique car collection known as the Emirates National Auto Museum. Let’s take a look at some remarkable cars in his collection.
The giant Land Rover
The Emirates National Auto Museum is located about an hour’s drive from the center of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Housed in a pyramid-shaped building, visitors have to travel through the desert along long, straight roads until they spot the giant Land Rover Series 3 replica, which marks the entrance of the museum.
The giant Jeep
Outside the museum, there is a house-sized replica of a Jeep Willys with a shovel and an axe attached to the side of the body. While it rarely moves, it can be driven from a hidden seat behind the grille. Standing at a height of 6.5 meters, it is over 4 times larger than a regular Willys and holds the Guinness World Record for being the world’s largest Jeep replica.
Mercedes-Benz W116 monster truck
Rainbow Sheikh turns his wildest dreams into reality, as seen in the Mercedes-Benz W116 that has been transformed into a monster truck parked in front of the museum. Though originally designed for practical use, it has not rolled on wheels for a long time.
Mercedes-Benz R107 SL
Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan has a special affinity for rainbow colors, earning him the nickname Rainbow Sheikh. Hence, many cars in his collection boast rainbow accents, including this Mercedes-Benz R107 SL. All the chrome parts of the standard SL have been replaced with gold plating, and flag holders indicate its presence in parades.
