Porsche worth £80k spray painted with ‘show off’ as supercar season with fleet worth millions hits London
A PRICEY Porsche was spray painted with the phrase “f**k you show off” in London — as supercar season sees motors worth millions flood the capital.
The bright blue Porsche Panamera, worth around £80,000, also had “take off da rich give to da poor” painted on its bonnet.
Vandals also wrote “robbed” on the vehicle’s bodywork.
Abdul Ilyas, who owns the car, says the Porsche was vandalised four days after another of his cars was stolen.
The 21-year-old, who describes himself as a businessman who runs social media agency Blu Capital Education, had his convertible BMW M4 nicked from outside his mum’s house in Derby while he was holidaying in Dubai.
He also says yobs pinched Louis Vuitton and Christian Louboutin trainers and Versace clothes out of the boot of his Porsche.
‘IT IS JEALOUSY’
Abdul told Sun Online: “I think it is jealousy. I think it is hate.
“People can’t stand others being successful”
He said he hasn’t contacted police about the London car break in.
It’s not clear why the car was targeted, as scores of other flashy cars line the pavement throughout the summer months in supercar season.
Every summer, wealthy people from middle eastern countries come to the UK to escape the unbearable heat in their homelands.
And for their seasonal holidays they ship their eye-wateringly expensive cars over to Britain ahead of their arrival.
On Sunday, shocked crowds gathered around the damaged Porsche in the blistering London sunshine.
VANDALISED FOR LIKES
Although the spray paint appears to be an act of vandalism, there is speculation that the damage may be a publicity stunt.
Earlier this year, 22-year-old millionaire Lak Sira feigned shock when his £80,000 golden Porsche had “w****r” and “s**t” tagged on its paintwork in Knightsbridge.
But it later emerged that one his mates had been behind the graffiti and it was alleged the vandalism was a stunt to get more followers on Twitter and Instagram.
Throughout supercar season, McLarens, Ferraris and Bugattis will continue to be found all over London until the weather cools.
Noise from their powerful engines and disregard for parking laws has been known to drive local residents and traffic wardens mad.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is even urging the Government to setup “acoustic cameras” to deter drivers roaring their motors through the streets.
But for car-lovers, there’s no better time to catch a glimpse of some of the most sought-after cars on the planet.
