The UAE celebrated its 40th anniversary this weekend, and what better way to do so than with a cavalcade of classic cars?

The Downtown Dubai Classic Car Show saw dozens of exotic machines park up outside the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, accessible to fans and passers-by alike.

Among the metal on show was this Ferrari F40 (top) and some in-progress works, like this Jaguar E-Type bodyshell. From what we know, this particular car is one of the oldest of it’s kind in existence. Chassis no.16 has been muted… We will be checking up on it though.

Who knows what this is then?

Lurking 300SL.

Not quite sure about the pointless number plate cover, but we’ll take the Porsche 959 any day.

Our vintage car knowledge isn’t the best, so help us out here. What kind of Bugatti is this?

What flavour of BMW would sir like today?

We think this is a Pontiac, but who knows?

We always get shouted at by the Land Rover experts for mis-naming the older cars, so expect complaints. But this is a Series 1.

Name that steering wheel.

A very smart Ferrari 250 GT Lusso.

Distant SL…
