COME WET AND chilly December in the UK, Europe and USA, the classic car scene goes into the workshops for spannering or general winter hibernation. But not in the United Arab Emirates! Boasting cobalt-blue skies, warm and dry weather with temperatures around 28ºC, the mostly deserted highways and byways of the UAE are classic car heaven. Think vast open spaces, magnificent backdrops, no traffic, cheap petrol and around 120 classic and performance cars let loose among a few bemused camels and goats amid the most breathtaking moonscape in the world. It has to be the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE. The latest event sees entries from Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France and the UK, participants arriving from 31 countries in total.
Supported by the UAE Ministry of friend and collector Corrado Lopresto with his magnificent one-off Zagato-bodied Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Aprile.
