Saw this car outside Harrods on Friday on Dubia plates immediately behind a Veyron also amazingly n Dubia plates!!

Standard I think this car is really nice - especially in white. This example is quite awful though!

Thing is the Prince or whoever is in there is probably worth hundreds of millions, easy

Have always wondered what the parking set-up was there at Harrods? The cul-de-sac at the side seems to be usually populated with prestige cars, some with chauffeurs in them , others parked up. But never any parking tickets etc but all yellow lined? Is there not a private car park within it for exclusive clients?

I remember a couple of years ago car watching there just as a Lambo came round the corner at the bottom of the street and cut the corner too tight and scraped the side sill against the kerb. Ouch!

I reckon there is something special about the parking as the street was packed full of limos and expensive cars. Mind you what would be the point of putting a ticket on a Dubia plate car!! Not much chance of it ever being paid! Don't think the shop would be happy about them being towed away either although no chance of getting a tow lorry down there

I was in the shop for the first time in years now that Al fayed has sold it!! Wouldnt have given that mana penny in business! I was amazed that the entire end of the shop where the inside /outside cafe was JAM PACKED with arab people! The rest of the shop seemed to be mainly non nationals and I dont mean Scots!!

PS:Panamera: it might be selling well,but I very much dislike the shape :-( If I had the bucks, I would rather buy a Quattroporte ;-)

The plate looks like 555 (in Arabic numerals). When I was living in UAE anything less that 1000 was generally assumed to be royalty so it's a safe bet they could pay the parking ticket!

£1.5 billion and you don't even get a parking space.
