Two supercars worth over, £1.5million belonging to the Qatari royal family were clamped outside Harrods - just three months after they bought the exclusive store. The £1.2million Koenigsegg CCXR and £350,000 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce were illegally parked outside the London department store last week. Crowds of tourists watched in disbelief as a traffic warden first ticketed then clamped both vehicles - which are custom-made in the royal families distinctive 'baby blue' colour. The stunning cars belong to the oil-rich Al-Thani royal family, who own a string of luxury vehicles including a one-off Pagani Zonda Uno. Qatar Holding group, which forked out £1.5billion in April to buy Harrods from Fulham FC owner Mohamed Al Fayed, was led by the Prime Minister of Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani. The 249mph Koenigsegg is custom-built from scratch and does an eye-watering 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, producing a staggering 1,064bhp. The Lamborghini is one of only 350 ever built, again in the families trademark colour, and has a top speed of 213mph and is capable of 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds. But both were brought to a standstill last Thursday (22/7) when they were clamped - although the owners shouldn't have too much trouble stumping up the £150 release fee.
