The owner of the eye-catching Lamborghini that caught fire following the horrific incident on the M62 on Monday, August 22, has been identified as Lord Aleem. But who is the influencer and what do we know about him?
The CEO of Platinum Executive Travel (P.E.T) and P.E.T Dubai, two premium car rental businesses, is a well-known figure in social media. He frequently uses Instagram, where he has a sizable 700,000 followers, to display his collection of supercars.
In addition, Lord Aleem has a popular YouTube channel with 464,000 subscribers. P.E.T, a Birmingham-based company, began as a wedding car rental service. The company expanded into the supercar hire industry in 2009 and claims to “make UK supercar hire easy.”
For photoshoots, music videos, weddings, parties, corporate events, or just “to drive around London or elsewhere in the UK,” cars can be rented. The purple Aventador SVJ Coupe that was involved in the M62 collision starts at £270,000 and is offered by the firm.
