A young businessman has claimed he ‘nearly died’ after his £125,000 Lamborghini Gallardo burst into flames on a motorway just an hour after he picked it up.
Lak Sira, 22, claims he had spent £12,000 on having his ‘pride and joy’ gold-plated, and £10,000 on a service at Lamborghini Birmingham.
But he said he and his girlfriend had to flee the vehicle and abandon it on the hard shoulder of the M6 after smelling petrol during a journey on Friday.
The entrepreneur, from Birmingham, jumped from the supercar after hearing a loud bang and could only watch on helplessly as the back of luxury vehicle was engulfed in flames.
Lak, who earns £200,000 a year running an online trading company, said he is looking at taking legal action against the dealership for the garage’s ‘negligence’.
