The Saudi Billionaire who brings his expensive cars with him while vacationing in Britain. Britain's
flashiest tourist, from Saudi Arabia, arrived in the capital over the
weekend with a fleet of gold cars worth more than £1million. Photos after the cut.
For many people a trip abroad might mean a small hire car with the occasional luxury addition. But
for one man desperate to maintain his reputation, a holiday in London
means just another place he can show off his impressive vehicles.
His
vehicles include a £370,00 Mercedes G63, a six-wheel off-roader, a
Bentley Flying Spur, worth £220,000, a £350,000 Rolls-Royce and a
£350,000 Lamborghini Aventador SV.
They
were spotted parked outside the five-star Mandarian Oriental hotel near
Hyde Park over the Bank Holiday weekend before being driven through
Kensington. Their journey also took them to Cadogan Place, where the
average house price is just over £5.2million.
It
is not known how much it costs to cover the cars in gold chrome wrap,
but previous reports suggest it is in the region of £4,000 per vehicle.
The
arrival of the supercars has become a regular event in recent years,
with rich Kuwaitis, Saudis and Emiratis seeking to out-do each with
their souped-up vehicles.
They
are often spotted waiting in gridlocked traffic in some of central
London's most popular areas or parked up outside designer shops and
luxury boutiques, including Harrods.
