A classic car-loving film maker working with a string of top companies has been fined after police had to reach 100mph to catch up with him after he was spotted driving recklessly while already banned.
Ehsan Bhatti had previously eulogised to his social media followers about his ‘gorgeous’ 1980s Ferrari F355 GTS, which he had driven across Europe and described as ‘probably one of the prettiest Ferraris ever’..
But the 41-year-old - nominated for a Young Directors Award at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and who has worked for brands such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry, BMW, Prosche, Nike and Samsung producing promotional videos - fell foul of police when driving on the A5 at Cerrigydrudion, North Wales, in May.
At the time, he was subject of a six-month driving ban imposed the previous November by City of London Magistrates for failing to provide information about the identity of who was driving a classic Mercedes car registered in his name.
A police patrol officer became aware of Bhatti’s Ferrari, worth at least £70,000, after it overtook a string of vehicles.
