THE world’s weirdest car collection includes a rainbow-coloured W126 Mercedes Benz S-Class and the world’s biggest monster truck.
And it belongs to Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan – a member of one of the United Arab Emirate’s ruling families, the Al Nahyan clan.

Sheikh Hamad has been nicknamed the Rainbow Sheikh for owning seven Mercedes S-Classes in different colours.
He’s a billionaire with significant influence in Abu Dhabi and is well-known for his eccentric spending habits.
The sheikh has splashed part of his fortune on an enviable collection of motors – including several vintage Mini Coopers, replicas of 1885 Benz Patent Motorwagens.
He also built the largest truck in the world, a version of the Dodge Power Wagon 64 times larger than the original.
Recently, Hamad was spotted driving a Mercedes W128 with monster truck wheels.
Here, we break down his jaw-dropping collection.
