The participation underlines the club’s mission to engage new audiences and spotlight Sharjah’s diverse cultural and tourism destinations
Sharjah, 24, April, 2025
The Sharjah Old Cars Club (SOCC) is set to participate in Arabian Travel Market (ATM 2025), the region’s leading travel and tourism exhibition, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Sheikh Rashid Hall, stand no. ME0720. The club’s participation comes as part of its ongoing efforts to promote the heritage of classic cars and highlight cultural and leisure attractions to a wider audience.
A rare British engineering icon
Among the highlights of the club’s participation at Sheikh Saeed Hall, stand ME0720, is a 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II — a rare and iconic showcase of British automotive craftsmanship. Produced in limited numbers between 1929 and 1936, the model stands as a symbol of refined engineering and luxury design. The featured vehicle, bearing the plate “Classic Sharjah 1000”, is powered by a 7.7-litre six-cylinder engine and equipped with rear-wheel drive and a four-speed manual transmission. Its coachwork, crafted by a leading British manufacturer of the era, reflects the meticulous detail and elegance that define this automotive masterpiece.
Affirming Sharjah’s status within regional and international classic car circles
Commenting on the participation, Dr. Mohamed Bin Butti Al Hajeri, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sharjah Old Cars Club, said: “Our participation in ATM 2025 aligns with the club’s strategy to strengthen its presence at key regional and international exhibitions. It serves as a distinguished platform through which we can represent classic car owners from the UAE and the wider region, while also drawing attention to the considerable efforts dedicated to safeguarding this unique strand of mechanical heritage. Our participation underscores Sharjah’s role as a leading cultural destination, where the legacy of classic motoring is preserved and honoured as an integral part of the emirate’s historical narrative.”
