A private jet boss was hit with a parking ticket after leaving his £2million Koenigsegg Jesko hypercar on a street in Kensington.
The luxury car, which belongs to Ameerh Naran, the CEO of Vimana Private Jets, was pictured with the bright yellow fine slapped on its bonnet outside Dishoom in west London.
While the supercar, worth around $3,000,000 (£2,228,742) sat on Derry Street, the entrepreneur enjoyed lunch at the Rooftop Gardens, according to his Instagram.
A parking charge notice (PCN) issued by the borough of Kensington and Chelsea can cost £160, however this can be reduced by half is paid within a 14-day period.
This type of Koenigsegg model boasts a 5.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 1280 horsepower on regular fuel and a 1600 horsepower on E85 fuel.
The car can go from 0 to 62mph in only 2.79, with a staggering estimated top speed of 310mph.
Mr Naran, 39, heads one of the ‘most sought after private jet services in the world’, his website says, boasting access to more than 5,000 aircrafts across the globe.
Originally from Zimbabwe, he first stepped foot into the aviation at the age of 23, and has since developed an opulent clientele which includes politicians as well as royals.
In an 2020 interview with Forbes, Mr Naran revealed plans to launch a hypercar with 1048-horsepower, 5-litre, twin turbo engine, stemming from a childhood dream.
The CEO was once a promising racing driver in his youth, but due to a lack of financial backing, his career on the track never sped off.
However off the back of advice from former Jaguar design director, Ian Callum, and head of design at BMW Adrian van Hooydonk, he studied industrial product and automotive design at university.
‘Growing up in Zimbabwe I decided my purpose in life was to build cars and I’ve been obsessed ever since,’ he said in 2020: ‘I told my parents at the age of four that’s what I would do.’
And despite earning credits and celebrity endorsements from the likes of the Kardashians, the entrepeneur was always desperate to find his way ‘back into cars’, establishing his own car manufacturer, Naran Automotive.
It comes after the businessman previously revealed his average client spending a staggering around $1,000,000 (£742,914) a month on ‘personal family travel’.
According to the CEO, Paris and Geneva are among the top destinations for Vimana clients, who mainly come from Asia, the Middle East and the US.
In 2024, Mr Naran said he used freight forwarding licence to transport clients’ purchases means that while shoppers pay VAT on goods as they buy them.
But when the items are taken to their destination outside the European Economic Area, the tax is reimbursed by a company called SkyBlue Exports, which earns a percentage of the VAT as a fee.
Among the companies the private airline broker works with are top-end jewellers like Ferrara Diamonds and Catherine Best among others, as well as pricy department store Harrods and British stalwart Asprey London, which sells luxury versions of items like jewellery, home wear, and handbags.
According to Mr Naran, he previously had a client who receives a monthly budget from her husband to spend on clothes of $2,000,000 (£1,485,828).

His parking fine debacle comes after a disgruntled Michael McIntyre had his £195,000 Mercedes sportscar towed away from the same street.
The comedian, 49, was photographed in May speaking to an official as his high-end £195,000 vehicle was hoisted on to the back of a lorry with its wheels clamped.
Michael looked unimpressed as he had an animated discussion with an official, who wore a yellow hi-vis jacket as builders watched on.
The funnyman looked dapper in a navy suit and pink shirt while he sported his signature square glasses for his unfortunate outing into the city.
Michael’s vehicle, a Mercedes-AMG GT R, had been hoisted on to the back of a tow truck as it was moved from the street.
The TV star’s vehicle was towed after it was parked in a parking bay reserved for police vehicles.
