The black Porsche 911 has ten penalty notices plastered across its windows – amounting to a £400 bill – which could DOUBLE if not paid within 21 days.

Five parking tickets are placed under the windscreen wipers, four on the driver’s window and one in the small rear driverside window.

The £85,000 car belongs to a man living in North Point, a block of expensive, waterfront flats in Gloucester Docks.

‘The guy is even parked in his own space but not displaying his permit. Madness. Ban private parking companies.’

Each ticket costs a minimum of £40, if paid within a 21-day window, amounting to £400.

But fines double if not paid in time – so this could see a hefty increase to £800.

A passerby, who took the picture at Lock Warehouse car park, said: ‘I thought I was having a bad day until I saw it.’
