Luxury Car Worth £1.2m Clamped Outside Harrods by snowdrops(m): 12:58pm On Jul 30, 2010 |
A luxury car valued at £1.2m was clamped outside Harrods in central London after being illegally parked. The Koenigsegg CCXR and a £350,000 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce were both clamped on the afternoon of 22 July. Kensington and Chelsea Council said the light-blue vehicles were in serious contravention of parking rules. The Knightsbridge store was bought by members of the Qatari royal family in April for £1.5bn. It was bought by the Qatar Holding group, led by the Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani, from Mohammed Al Fayed. Both the cars are very rare with the Swedish-made Koenigsegg being one of only six ever made. 'Effective deterrent' A Harrods spokesman said: "Any matters relating to parking tickets and enforcement are strictly the domain of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea." The council said £120 penalty charge notices were issued, but the cars were released for £70 each as the fines were paid within 14 days. A spokesman said: "There is a greater shortage of parking space for residents in Kensington and Chelsea than practically anywhere else in the country. "At the same time we have a huge number of visiting motorists attracted here by our fine shops, restaurants and other attractions. "Our priority is our residents. To keep space available for them, we must deter visitors from taking up residents' bays and our experience is that clamping is simply the most effective deterrent." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-10810772

These are my dream rides. But for the Qatari Billona ire owners, they would be more bothered about dents on their cars from the clamps than the miserly £70 or so release fees. |

the Quatari billionaires own the store [Harrods], not the cars. the cars probably belong to some rival families or principalities. on 8 May 2010, Mohamed Al-Fayed sold the store to Qatar Holdings for a sum of £1.5 billion Wiki |

The cars actually belongs to the Qatari family. And blue is their family colour. |

If you are around Knightsbridge a lot you would see worse than that. These guys do not care about road regulations, after all its just a fine at the end of the day. |
