This is the astonishing moment a British playboy with two bikini-clad beauties crashes his £270,000 convertible Rolls-Royce after partying at a Magaluf beach club.
The millionaire entrepreneur lost control of his vehicle as he reversed the wrong way up the road by a packed restaurant terrace before smashing into a tobacco shop.
Locals said he vanished with his two young female friends before traffic cops arrived to breath-test him, abandoning his badly damaged Rolls Royce Dawn Coupe, which is now in a police pound.
Footage of the moment the car crashed appear to show the exposed bottoms of one of the women – believed to be South Americans – poking out of the Rolls as she was hit by flying glass.

Tobacco shop manager Mamen Maria said: ‘I know the man who was at the wheel. He comes in here from time to time to buy cigarettes’

Yesterday Civil Guard officers said they were still hunting the driver but had identified him.
Witnesses said he hit a kerb outside a packed restaurant terrace around 7.45pm on Sunday in Portal Nous in Majorca near upmarket port Puerto Portals – narrowly missing around 20 people – before smashing through the glass front of the shop next door.
Jose Martin, manager of a restaurant near the crash scene, said: ‘We saw the car pass a few minutes earlier.
‘The man was driving and the music was blaring and two very pretty South American women were in bikinis dancing and taking selfies.
‘They pulled into the car park of a supermarket that was closed just down the road and were sat there for around five minutes.
‘The next minute there was this tremendous noise and the car reversed up the road at speed and hit the kerb just outside the restaurant terrace before spinning round and smashing into the tobacco shop next door.
‘If he had hit the kerb a few seconds earlier we could have been looking at a major loss of life. There were about 20 people on the terrace at the time.
‘I took the number plate of the car down and called police but by the time they arrived the driver and the two women were gone.
‘They seemed initially to be in a state of shock and they were covered in glass from the broken shop window.
‘They left the area on foot.’

Tobacco shop manager Mamen Maria added: ‘I know the man who was at the wheel. He comes in here from time to time to buy cigarettes.
‘He’s obviously caused a good few thousand pounds’ damage to the shop as well as his own car.
‘We’ve had to close and put security staff on to guard the merchandise night and day.
‘The word round here is that the man had been partying with the two women at Nikki Beach in Magaluf and was off his head at the time.’
Another witness, who asked not to be named, said: ‘I’ve got friends who work at Nikki Beach and he told me they were there during the day.
‘The driver looked the worse for wear when he got out of his car. Shock is one thing but he seemed to me to be high on drink and possibly something else.
Jose Martin, manager of a restaurant near the crash scene, said: ‘We saw the car pass a few minutes earlier. The man was driving and the music was blaring and two very pretty South American women were in bikinis dancing and taking selfies’
‘He tried to drive away from the crash scene but the steering on the Rolls-Royce had gone and he had to abandon the car because it wouldn’t go any further.’
A spokesman for Calvia Council, which covers the Portals Nous area, confirmed local police had been called to an incident in the village of Puerto Portals on Sunday evening.
She said: ‘A UK-plated car smashed into a shop front after the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle.
‘No other cars were involved in the incident.’
A Civil Guard source said yesterday morning: ‘We are still searching for the driver and two women who were in the car with him.
‘They left the scene of the crash before officers arrived to breath-test the driver and do a drugs test.’
The source said: ‘The paperwork in the car didn’t quite match the number plate so that’s another thing the driver will be questioned about when he is tracked down.’
