Parking fines are no match for the Saudi tourist and his fleet of gold supercars

30-03-2016 10:40 PM


Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Money is clearly no object to the Saudi owner of the gold supercars as today the £1 million fleet was hit with hundreds of pounds in parking fines.

The fleet is believed to be owned by Saudi billionaire Turki Bin Abdullah who is currently touring wealthy parts of west London.

Bin Abdullah's Instagram account features an array of photos and videos documenting his luxurious lifestyle.
He is often pictured with the gold fleet of cars - which he is said to fly around the world at great expense.

In one of his social media videos he is seen chasing a camel down a steep desert slope in his £370,00 six-wheel Mercedes G63.

Another clip, posted just a few weeks ago, shows him filming himself as he drives his £350,000 Lamborghini Aventador SV in west London, followed by friends in another of his golden vehicles.

One photo posted on the social network even shows a cheetah strapped into driving seat of his Mercedes jeep.
A gold Lamborghini Aventador, Rolls Royce, Mercedes G63 6x6 and Bentley Flying Spur caused a stir in the Knightsbridge area they were parked in, with dozens of people stopping to take photos on their mobile phones.

The Lamborghini had two separate penalty notices for Tuesday and Wednesday slipped under its wiper blade, while the Mercedes and Bentley each had one.

The fines of £80 each time, reduced to £40 if paid within 14 days, mean the owner, reportedly from Saudi Arabia, owes the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea as much as £320.

The vehicles could even be removed and fines increased if the charges go unpaid.

The cars were parked in Cadogan Place, outside the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel, in Knightsbridge, central London - just yards away from an NCP car park.

Costing £50 for 24 hours, the car park housed non-gold Bentleys, Audis and a Ferrari on Wednesday.

A joker also caused a stir in the capital today by wrapping his Ford Ka in gold foil and trying to blend in with the fleet of golden supercars.

A spokesman for Kensington and Chelsea Council said that tickets issued to foreign cars and drivers are followed up to ensure they are not ignored.
