Michael McIntyre faces off with traffic warden as £195,000 Mercedes gets towed in Kensington
The sports car can do up to 200mph - but Michael's going nowhere fast.
Michael McIntyre’s day took a turn for the worse when his flashy sports car got towed away.
The comedian looked less than pleased as he watched his £195,000 vehicle get hoisted onto a truck in London’s High Street Kensington.
Typically the jolliest man on telly, 49-year-old Michael had a rather animated exchange with an official wearing a yellow hi-vis jacket.
Alas, there was seemingly nothing he could do to prevent his Mercedes-AMG GT R from being taken away with its wheels clamped.
Photos taken this afternoon capture the Big Show host looking dapper wearing his signature navy suit with a pink shirt and his famous glasses.
Construction workers watched the scenes unfold after Michael parked his motor in a parking bay reserved for police cars.

He’s also well acquainted with the Mercedes-Benz brand, having already owned a dark blue Mercedes AMG GT, which he splurged on in 2014.
As for his current ride, the TV star’s model can be purchased for any figure between £155k and £195k.
It can accelerate to 62mph in just 3.6 seconds and go up to 200mph, but, unfortunately for Michael, he’s going nowhere fast anytime soon.
Michael has amassed a staggering fortune since his rise to fame on the comedy scene, as it’s now reported his net worth is £80million.

As of 2023, Michael and Kitty have lived in Hampstead, but they also have a house in Wiltshire.
In May 2020, the comic splashed out on a second home after enjoying an increase in earnings, purchasing another pad in the capital for a mega £10million.
With a price tag like that, the property obviously boasts some impressive amenities. It has eight bedrooms, a pool in the basement, a fancy cinema room, and a spa.
Michael and Kitty, who works as an aromatherapist, have two sons, Lucas and Oscar, who, as you can imagine, also serve as a muse for their famous father’s comedy.
