Emirates SkyCargo transported a collection of rare classic Ferrari cars for the event, including a classic 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO estimated at over USD 40 million.

Other cars transported include 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 meticulously maintained by collectors to ensure a perfect appearance for display in private collections, museums or competition events, calling for utmost care, safety and security.
