The Rainbow Sheikh Car Museum

We had a trip into the desert to see the barmy car museum today.

Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, also known affectionately as The Rainbow Sheikh, due to the seven Mercedes Benz 500 SEL's, that are painted one rainbow colour for each day of the week including matching leather interiors. He has one of the larger car collections in the world at between 200 to 400 cars and trucks, of which some are stored in a 100m x 100m pyramid that he purpose built to display the vehicles located 45 minutes outside Abu Dhabi.

He constructed the world's largest truck; a replica of a classic Dodge Power Wagon, about eight times the original Power Wagon size. It has four bedrooms inside the cabin. The vehicle also moves under its own power,it weighs in excess of 50 tonnes.

In October 2012, the Largest motorised model Jeep (four times actual scale) was placed in the Guinness Book of World records. The opposite side is here
