A blinged-up Rolls Royce from Dubai, a silver Porsche Spyder and a Mercedes covered with Swarovski crystals: how the super-rich get around London



The supercars have caught the eye of passers-by today, with the garish Mercedes S-Class and a Rolls Royce from Dubai popping up on the streets of Knightsbridge.

A silver Porsche 918 Spyder with Saudi Arabian license plates has also been garnering attention.

But the Mercedes S-Class doesn’t seem to be in quite as good condition as when it was last pictured on MailOnline, with some of the crystals no longer there.

The 2014 CLS 350 used to be owned by Russian business student Daria Radionova until she sold it for £155,000 on eBay last October. It is often seen parked in exclusive parts of London.

A team from Russia had spent 12 hours a day for two months working on customising the car, and Ms Radionova said last September that she was ‘really happy’ with it.

The then 21-year-old added: 'It gets lots of attention from people walking by and in cars. Sometimes I think they might crash.’

Knightsbridge has become known in recent years for Arab playboys speeding around in cars worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
