A multi-million dollar car ended up crashed in a Dubai car park after the valet mistook the accelerator for the brake.

The rare 1962 Ferrari 250GT California Spyder was crashed by the valet in the car park of Dubai International Financial Centre, according to 7Days newspaper.

Following the incident, the company employing the valet, Secure Parking Corporation, admitted that he had pressed the accelerator instead of the brake.

Owner of the vehicle, Neil Petch, who had dropped off his car with the valet before having lunch at La Petite Maison, told 7Days that he was “in shock” after seeing his prize possession crashed.

“The friend I was meeting called me from the parking lot. He said, ‘Neil, what happened to your car?’ I thought he was playing a prank. But he told me I better get down there. And then I saw it…” Petch was quoted as saying.

While Petch didn’t reveal the value of the Ferrari 250GT California Spyder, a similar vehicle sold at an auction in Monterey, California last year for $15.18 million.

Petch did say that Secure Parking Corporation would cover the cost of repairing the vehicle.

Last month, a video clip emerged on website Youtube of a Dubai valet losing control of Ford Mustang and crashing the AED170,000 ($46,000) luxury car into a wall.

The valet driver was taken to hospital after receiving injuries to his face in the accident, which occurred on Thursday night.

“The engine is literally broken. The front suspension is badly damaged. I bought the car only nine months ago when my daughter was born. It’s been my dream car and now it’s crushed. There was blood all over the car and the airbag was out,” the Dutch owner, 43-year-old Antoine Adams said.
