For many people a trip abroad might mean a small hire car with the occasional luxury addition. But for one man desperate to maintain his reputation, a holiday in London means just another place he can show off his impressive vehicles.
Britain's flashiest tourist, from Saudi Arabia, arrived in the capital over the weekend with a fleet of gold cars worth more than £1million.

Britain's flashiest tourist, who is thought to be from Saudi Arabia, arrived in the capital this week with a fleet of gold cars worth more than £1million. Above, his gold £350,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe and Lamborghini Aventador, also worth £350,000
His vehicles include a £370,00 Mercedes G63, a six-wheel off-roader, a Bentley Flying Spur, worth £220,000, a £350,000 Rolls-Royce and a £350,000 Lamborghini Aventador SV.
They were spotted parked outside the five-star Mandarian Oriental hotel near Hyde Park over the Bank Holiday weekend before being driven through Kensington. Their journey also took them to Cadogan Place, where the average house price is just over £5.2million.
It is not known how much it costs to cover the cars in gold chrome wrap, but previous reports suggest it is in the region of £4,000 per vehicle.
The pictures signal the start of the city's supercar season, when wealthy Arabs flee the scorching hot temperatures of the Middle East and cruise around the British capital in their ostentatious vehicles.
The arrival of the supercars has become a regular event in recent years, with rich Kuwaitis, Saudis and Emiratis seeking to out-do each with their souped-up vehicles.
They are often spotted waiting in gridlocked traffic in some of central London's most popular areas or parked up outside designer shops and luxury boutiques, including Harrods.
The vehicles include a £370,00 Mercedes six-wheel off-roader (pictured), which looks more suited to the sand dunes than the congested streets of Kensington
The six-wheel vehicle, which includes a 5.5-litre V8 engine, was impossible to miss as passers-by wondered through the streets of Kensington over the weekend
A gold Mansory Bentley Flying Spur worth £220,000 was spotted parked up on the streets of London's wealthiest borough
The Bentley's wheels also feature a gold inner ring, with the car boasting a top speed of 200mph and the ability to go from 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds
The Rolls-Royce was spotted turning onto Cadogan Place later in the day, where the average house price is just over £5.2million
The Rolls-Royce, which also included gold around the logo on the wheels, matched the other vehicles in the fleet but stood out once parked up outside these central London houses
