Partnership with Gulf Concours
Emirates SkyCargo is also a sponsor of the inaugural Gulf Concours event that will take place in Dubai on 18 and 19 November 2016.
Part of the international Concours d’Elegance car competitions, the Gulf Concours is a prestigious platform that brings together a combination of rare classic cars and modern bespoke luxury and supercars, on display for the first time in the region.
Emirates SkyCargo transported a collection of rare classic Ferrari cars to Dubai for the event.
One of the cars that was flown into Dubai was a classic 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO estimated to be worth over USD 40 million.
The car has a successful race history (27 races and 17 podium finishes) and was also one of the handful of cars used by Scuderia Ferrari for testing.
Some of the other cars transported by Emirates SkyCargo for Gulf Concours included a 1955 Ferrari 250 GT Competizione Berlinetta Sport Speciale and a rare 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione.
Cars participating in Concours d’Elegance events across the world are normally not driven on a day to day basis and are meticulously maintained by collectors to ensure a perfect appearance for display in private collections, museums or competition events.
This, combined with the high value and uniqueness of the cars, meant that the Emirates SkyCargo team had to ensure that the vehicles were transported with the utmost of care, safety and security.
