A driver was left baffled after seeing a luxury Bentley worth £175,000 throwing sparks from its front tyre as it drove along the motorway on just three tyres.
When Joseph Grieve’s friend got his first passport, car enthusiasts knew the first place they wanted to visit was the Nürburgring Grand Prix track.
But as the pair ventured along the M25 near the Dartford junction heading towards Nürburg, they were greeted by the most unusual sight at 6am on July 30.
A luxury black Bentley, with a wheel missing, could be seen screeching as it made its way across the busy road as bright orange sparks flew towards the road.
Joseph, 27, roared past the damaged car, swearing at it repeatedly.

On July 30, at around 6 a.m., he and his friend were heading to Nuremberg to visit a world-famous Grand Prix track when they saw the luxury car throwing off sparks.
Joseph, a carer from Carlisle Cumbria, said: ‘My friend got his first passport and wanted to go to the Nürburgring.
‘We were on our way and I noticed these damn sparks coming out of the car. I saw them and thought, ‘What the hell?’
I never thought I’d see such an expensive Bentley without a tire.
According to the Highway Code, it is advisable to hold the steering wheel firmly and allow the vehicle to stop if the tire explodes.
It is not illegal to drive your vehicle to a safe place if one of your tires bursts, but it is dangerous to drive it to the nearest garage if it is far away.
Not only do you risk causing internal damage to your car, but you also put yourself and others on the road at risk of a serious accident, according to Protyre.
