The £150,000 4X4 was left in a residents’ parking bay close to the player’s training ground in North London
THIS is the moment Premier League ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s GOLD 4×4 was slapped with a parking ticket in North London.
Traffic wardens spotted the £150,000 Range Rover Sport Mansory had been left in a residents’ parking bay without a permit and promptly stuck an £160 fine on the windscreen.
An Arsenal fan recognised the flashy vehicle and said the wardens were surprised when he told them who it belonged to – but continued writing the ticket anyway.
The 40-year-old cyclist took a photo of the fine being issued at 5.30pm near the Emirates Stadium in Holloway, where it’s thought the star was training.
He told The Sun: “I was on my way home and was about 150 metres from the Emirates.
“I’m an Arsenal fan and I spotted the car first because I’d actually seen it in the papers before. What a ridiculous car! It still has Dortmund number plates.
“I cycled past it, but then went back to get a photo of it to show some friends. But when I got back there, an Islington Council enforcement vehicle pulled up.
“I thought, ‘Oh, this is interesting.’
“They got out and gave him a ticket. I said, ‘Do you know whose car this is?’ But they were completely oblivious and said, ‘No!’
“They were reasonably surprised when I told them – but I don’t think it made any difference to what they doing.

“All of those bays are residential, so you need a resident’s parking permit to park there. So that would’ve been why he was getting a ticket. It’s controlled parking in that whole area.
“I’ve had a few tickets in the past, and I think it’s always £160 but is reduced to £60 if you pay within a couple of weeks.”
The French striker – said to earn a cool £180,000 a week – probably won’t feel the sting too much as he earns enough to pay the fine every nine minutes.
He was bought from German team Borussia Dortmund in January in an eye-watering £56million deal.
Arsenal declined to comment.
