A rich car lover drove his £866,000 McLaren supercar to the garage to collect his new £1.2m Ferrari - which he then drove to collect his new £780,000 Porsche.

In doing so, businessman Paul Bailey is believed to have become the first person to own the so-called £3million "Holy Trinity" of supercars.

His day began when he jumped in his McLaren P1 and drove 35 miles from his home to a Ferrari dealership in Nottingham.

He then handed the keys to his P1 to wife Selena and got behind the wheel his brand new £1.2 million Ferrari LaFerrari, which he ordered two years ago.

The pair then drove 100 miles to a Porsche dealership in Cambridge, where he collected his new 918 Spyder.

Convoy: The three cars

The three machines boast a combined 2,740bhp - the equivalent of 45 entry-level Ford Fiestas.

All three can go from 0-62mph in less than three seconds - and they all have a top speed of more than 200mph.

They are also part of a new breed of ultra-performance motors which use hybrid technology to achieve fuel economy of up to 94mpg.

Multi-millionaire Mr Bailey, who sold his telephone conferencing business for £28million in 2012, said: "I have been waiting, in real terms, about two years for the LaFerrari.

"Early images of these cars were snapped and emotions rose as delivery dates came closer.

"I was offered one of the first five UK cars but these did not have the level of personalisation that I have had.

"This is the first UK car with full personalisation and it was worth the wait.

"I live a very surreal life and being the first to own all three does not feel real.

"This is why I want to use and share the cars with enthusiasts.

"It is too early to say which is the best as they are all totally amazing.

"I will be able to better comment when I have driven them back to back on the race track."

All three of the limited edition hybrid hypercars have now sold out with deliveries currently taking place around the world.

The McLaren is the rarest, with 375 built.

Ferrari is manufacturing 499 LaFerraris and Porsche has sold all 918 of its 918s.

Mr Bailey will be offering rides in the cars to a select few at Silverstone through Supercar Driver, a club he is a member of.

He has already raised thousands for charity by raffling off £1 tickets for people to win a go in his P1.

Supercar Driver founder Adam Thorby said: "Paul has got a cracking collection of cars and I think he is the first person to own all three of these.

"A lot of people who buys cars like this will have them hidden away but Paul is going to be driving them.

"We do a lot of events and he will be taking the cars along and letting people have rides in them.

 "I think he has raised around £20,000 for charity since he got his P1 by raffling off rides in them."
