Yesterday we showed you the impressive car collection of a certain Mr Jay Leno and today we've got an arguably even more amazing selection of cars for you to peruse.
This is the personal collection of H.H. Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family. He's clearly not short of a few bob and over the years he's amassed a remarkable collection of over 200 cars which is kept at the Emirates National Auto Museum in the United Arab Emirates.

The museum itself is hugely impressive. An enormous 100mx100m pyramid in the middle of the desert, the museum is an automotive oasis of expensive metal and genuinely astonishing home-made creations.
The Rainbow Sheikh's collection is not as varied as Leno's and the cars are arguably less prestigious but, for sheer wow factor, the Sheikh wins hands down.
Take a look at his collection; you certainly don't see this sort of thing at the Beaulieu Motor Museum.
They don't call him the Rainbow Sheikh for nothing.
He seems to like Minis -- maybe because the Middle East is one of the few places where they don't rust.
This isn't the most impressive vehicle in his collection.
