Millionaire causes traffic jam in London to get his £1m Porsche washed

£1million Porsche was reportedly washed, polished and vacuumed before the roads got back to normal again

 

A wealthy Saudi Porsche owner, Yazeed Al-Rajhi held up traffic on one of London's busiest roads by having his £1million Porsche washed and polished in time for supercar season.

Motorists were forced to slow down and bus drivers had to change lanes so they could safely pass the Porsche 918 Spyder while it was meticulously detailed in a parking spot at the side of the road.

The hybrid car, appeared to have only recently arrived in the UK from Saudi Arabia and was covered in dust and sand.

Sitting outside the posh Mandarin Hotel in Brompton road, cleaners set to work in giving the car the once over - but it caused misery for other drivers.

Motorists were forced to slow down, while bus drivers even had to change lanes so they could get past the Porsche.

Paul Wallace, who saw the car while it was being washed, said: “For around one hour, two guys washed the car on arguably the busiest road through central London, Brompton Road.

“It was comical and certainly stopped the general public as they walked by.

“The Porsche had recently been wrapped in Brushed Aluminium, giving it a satin chrome effect…

“There are a couple of well known valeters and detailers in London that provide car owners the privacy and security, but it seemed this owner didn’t care and wanted it done quickly.”
