FINE BY HIM!

Mystery millionaire leaves £1million Porsche illegally parked in London for two weeks — racking up £1,500 in fines

Witness said tickets were cleared every few days — but the owner didn't move the car

A MYSTERY millionaire left his limited edition supercar illegally parked for two weeks, clocking up around £1,500 in fines.

The £1million Porsche 918 Spyder was on a single yellow line outside a private members’ club in Mayfair, central London.

The owner, said to be a businessman from Dubai, left the 214mph car after visiting the Arts Club at the end of last month.

It was finally removed over the weekend.

A worker said: “"He got a ticket every day. Every few days someone came and cleared the tickets off the windscreen — one of his gofers I think.

"But everyone thought it was strange that he didn't come and actually take the car away."

The worker added: "Who the hell leaves their million-pound car in a random street for so long?

"He obviously doesn’t care about the fines — it’s probably peanuts to him.”
Only 918 Spyders, which first went on sale in 2014 for £625,000, were made by Porsche.

Second-hand models now sell for more than £1.2million.

The silver motor, with personalised plates, had three tickets tucked under the windscreen wiper when The Sun snapped it in Dover Street on Friday afternoon.
