Stunning fleet of Ferraris, Rolls Royce, Bentleys… and a Renault Twizzi auctioned off cheap after being seized from Sheikh owner
A STUNNING fleet of Ferraris, Rolls Royce, Bentleys and more is being sold at a bargain price after being seized from a Middle Eastern Sheikh.
The 16 luxury cars are to be offered up at auction after a High Court ruling against their owner, who lived in west London.
The cars – all UK registered – have unusually low mileage and are being sold at cut prices.
Their former owner is thought to have been dispossessed following a financial dispute
Leading the sale is a stylish red and white 2012 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider valued at £120,000.
The F430 has a top speed of almost 200mph and can accelerate from 0-60mph in under four seconds.

Another 2012 Ferrari with similarly impressive specifications is a California with an estimated value of £110,000.
Both models incredibly have less than 500 miles on the clock.
Also up for grabs are a handful of Rolls Royce motors, including a 2011 Ghost that has done less than 3,000 miles.
Named after the famous Silver Ghost this model generally sells for about £125,000 but can be snapped up here for only £100,000.
Another Rolls going under the hammer is a highly sought after 1982 Corniche, which incredibly only has 11,000 recorded miles.
The Corniche was one of the sheikh's first cars and is said to have spawned his fascination with automobiles.
With such a low mileage the price of £40,000 is well under the market average.
Nestled in amongst the six-figure sports cars is a somewhat out of place Renault Twizy - a battery powered two seater, which the sheikh is thought to have zipped around London in.
Completing the sale are three more Roll-Royces, five Bentleys, a Porsche, Range Rover and Desande.
Damian Jones, head of sales at H&H Classics, which is selling the collection, said: "This is a chance to acquire some stunning cars with incredibly low mileages.
"All of the cars have been little-used, especially the Ferrari models.
"The cars are so competitively priced to ensure a sale on the day, prospective buyers can certainly expect to pick up a bargain or two.
"We get cars following court orders from time to time but it's certainly not a regular occurrence."
Mr Jones continued: "Another draw for these cars is that they come from a well looked after collection kept within garages in some of London's best postcodes.
"The sheikh had his own chauffeurs and security staff to ensure the vehicles were maintained properly.
"Many of the cars have been modified in accordance with the former owner's designs.
"The sheer diversity of the vehicles amassed is also worth noting.
"We have had a lot of interest for the Rolls Royce Corniche, the market for them has grown in recent years."
The collection will be sold in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, tomorrow.
