The couple who rented out the doomed Ferrari Spider for their wedding day have been named as Usman Ali and new wife Sakina Parveen 24 hours before he drove the £240,000 supercar belonging to self styled Lord Aleem into a wall, it has been reported.
The 25-year-old, a tyre fitter for his father’s garage, is believed to have paid a £5,000 deposit to hire out the car for his wedding weekend, MailOnline said.
But it all went wrong when his foot got caught on the car mat and he pressed the accelerator instead of the breaking, crashing into the wall of his friends house and leaving the car looking seriously the worse for wear.
Friends said just-married Mr Ali could have have to pay out around £25,000 – from the deposit and a £20,000 insurance excess.
Thankfully, he wasn’t injured in the crash which happened on a residential street in Burnley, Lancashire.
A friend of the groom told MailOnline he still lived with his father in their £55,000 family home, and rented out the car especially for the wedding.
‘He’s a good lad and he works hard, but I don’t think he had enough experience driving this sort of car,’ he said.
