And it's the first Ferrari 599 GTO - to sit alongside the last 16M Scuderia Spider which just arrived.

He's also got a replacement 458 Italia and new SA Aperta on their way.

I wonder what his favourite supercar brand is...

I'm guessing PHers will doubt his true petrolhead credentials as there's nothing original there - just another son a of a very wealthy Arab businessman. Still, it would be nice to have that sort of conundrum when you go out to the garage every morning wink

Is that what they were doing?

I usually think this is fair enough, but this time it seems a bit of a shame that significant cars such as the last 16M and first GTO have disappeared into a massive garage where, however much he might enjoy hoofing them about occasionally, they'll never be appreciated as much as in the hands of a collector or someone who's aspired to own them for years.

At least he will drive them as intended and not just baby them around at 10%

Too true. I like seeing the cars in the summer, HATE seeing them pratted around and causing concern for pedestrians, or people getting woken up at 2am to the sound of an over revving Ferrari.

I think people like him ruin supercars a bit.

I actualy quite enjoyed the Arab cock waggling season in London this year. There were some seriously nice motors to ogle.

The Qatari royal family are returning next year in customised Pagani in the same colour scheme as the blue Koenigsegg that got clamped outside Harrods in the summer

The irony was that the colour they chose for the Koenigsegg and lambo was very close to the colour of the Fortnum and Mason store in picadilly.

Good luck to him thumbup

The anti-social behaviour reported in central London is out of order but hopefully will be picked up by the Police next summer. Perhaps an invite to a PH meet would be a suitable alternative.

Dont hold your breath on that happening as they are currently in dispute with Pagani and have not taken delivery of that Zonda, known as the "Uno". It is is still in the Pagani showroom and has been for at least a couple of months now. Another Zonda ordered by the family know as the 750 has recently been cancelled because of this dispute

Seriously, are these people really true petrol heads? If they were surely they would have a few cars that are a bit more interesting in these collections rather than just every overpriced model from these prestige car marques? If I had that sort of money I'd have garages filled with both modern and classic cars.

He's 21, "classic cars" for him include the Enzo and Veyron...
