Two bodyguards
1968: Two bodyguards stand by the Rolls-Royce of Sheikh Zayed, the ruler of Abu Dhabi. Delivered in January 1966 to then-ruler, Sheikh Shakhbut, Sheikh Zayed used it extensively after he became Ruler of Abu Dhabi in August 1966. The car was lost for many years until it was discovered in 2019 by motoring historian and author Mohammad Luqman Ali Khan ( @JournoAli ) in Vienna, Austria, and returned to Abu Dhabi after being restored to concourse condition.
