Driver of dumped £2,000,000 car urged to pay fine quickly to get 50% discount
The owner of a £2.8 million Pagani supercar who abandoned his vehicle outside of Harrods has been left with a devastating £130 parking fine.
Footage shows a parking warden slap the blue Huayra, which reaches speeds of up to 238mph, with a yellow ticket on Hans Crescent, Knightsbridge.
We aren’t aware of anyone starting any crowdfunders to help pay off the debt, but Santa Laura raised her fears on Instagram saying: ‘He will never financially recover from this.’
The vehicle, which is one of only 100 produced, was seemingly abandoned in the middle of the road which Westminster Council said leads to a £130 penalty charge notice.
Onlookers appeared to thoroughly enjoy watching the expensive car receive the yellow ticket, with people seen pointing and taking pictures.
A passenger in the Rolls Royce parked next to it also looked on as the ticket was placed under the Huayra’s window wiper.
One helpful X user Ribrox London told the owner they will ‘save themselves a few quick if they pay it in 14 days’.
But others point out how the ticket will clearly mean very little to the owner.
Sound in the House wrote: ‘It’s pocket change to them they don’t care about parking fines that’s why they park wherever they want.’
Mike Clarke added: ‘Should have had it lifted, a ticket would be nothing.’
A pink supercar has also caused a stir on social media after it was left parked outside a London hotel for four years.

A pink McLaren 570s – worth more than £150,000 – has caused a storm on social media, with some users claiming it hasn’t moved a yard since 2020.
A Tiktoker who claimed to work at the luxurious Renaissance hotel said: ‘I actually work at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, the McLaren is owned by one guest who permanently moved into the hotel near the start of the pandemic because he was having trouble getting back to his country.’
This was then backed up after Metro rang the hotel and a member of staff said the car belonged to someone who was renting an apartment above the upscale building.
