He even offered to pay the charge on the spot - but they removed his personal number plated £200,000 motor around 11am today.
Suited and bespectacled McIntyre, seen remonstrating alongside a male pal, left it in a bay outside popular Indian restaurant Dishoom.
Parking is believed to be temporarily restricted there due to it being near a building site.
Workers provided an audience by watching and filming the funny man as he protested his innocence.
A passerby told The Sun: 'McIntyre's car was being lifted. I walked past and said 'unlucky'. He just seemed to laugh it off and said 'oh well'.
'I think he may have been coming out of Dishoom as he was on that side. There was a load of builders all watching and filming the incident.
'McIntyre was trying to get them to put his car back down but he made sure he didn't make too much of a scene given his audience.
'He was protesting and trying to pay the two tow truck operators not to take his Mercedes away but they weren't having it.
'You could tell he was frustrated but kept himself calm. He was trying to see if he could go with them to the impound.
'The parking bay was temporarily restricted and enforced due to a building site next to it.'
Avid car collector McIntyre, 49, was pictured admiring a previous model of his top spec Merc in 2020 while parked in North London.
The Wheel host has also been seen driving a matt black £150k Ferrari, a Jaguar XK and a Range Rover which was damaged by moped muggers in 2018.
His net worth as one of the UK's biggest comedians is believed to be around £80million following bumper deals with Netflix and the BBC.

Oscar Piastri beats McLaren team-mate Lando Norris to Spanish Grand Prix pole
Piastri holds a three-point championship lead over Norris, and the Australian delivered in qualifying to beat the British driver by an impressive 0.209 seconds at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya – the biggest pole margin of the season so far. World champion Max Verstappen took third place for Red Bull, one spot clear of Mercedes' George Russell. Verstappen and Russell set identical times with the former taking the higher grid slot after setting his time first. POLE POSITION IN BARCELONA! 🏁 Oscar's secures his fourth Pole position of the season 👏 #McLaren | #M7AReborn | #SpanishGP 🇪🇸 — McLaren (@McLarenF1) May 31, 2025 Lewis Hamilton qualified fifth with Kimi Antonelli sixth for Mercedes and Charles Leclerc, who completed just one quick lap in Q3, seventh. McLaren have won six of the eight rounds so far, and their rivals might have hoped that a clampdown on flexible front wings – which some believe has contributed to the British team's rise – would slow them down. However, the rule tweak has done little to influence McLaren's speed, with Piastri and Norris embroiled in a tense battle for pole. Norris secured top spot in Monaco a week ago before going on to claim his first win since March's season-opening round in Melbourne. He ended the first runs here in Q3 holding a slender 0.017 sec margin over his team-mate. Norris enjoyed a tow off Piastri's McLaren with the Australian calling his team-mate's antics 'cheeky'. The McLaren duo returned for a final shot at pole and although Norris improved on his first lap, it was Piastri who lit up the timesheets by taking his fourth pole of the season by two tenths. 'I am very happy,' said Piastri. 'It didn't start off in the best way. I was struggling but I found pace and the car has been mega. 'I improved quite a lot in Turn 1 on my second lap and it all came together. It wasn't the perfect lap. It is going to be an interesting one tomorrow and I am pretty glad I am starting from pole.' Norris said: 'Oscar drove very well. The pace was there but I made a few mistakes.' Chequered flag on our Saturday on track 🇪🇸 — Scuderia Ferrari HP (@ScuderiaFerrari) May 31, 2025 Hamilton called his car 'undriveable' in practice on Friday, but he will take comfort from out-qualifying Leclerc for the first time since the second round in China, albeit half-a-second back from Piastri. Home favourite Carlos Sainz qualified a disappointing 18th while Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda will prop up the grid after he clocked the slowest time with just eight tenths separating first to last in Q1. British rookie Ollie Bearman progressed to Q2, and will line up from 15th, two places clear of Esteban Ocon in the other Haas.

Lando Norris admits mistakes cost him pole for Spanish Grand Prix
McLaren were in a class of one in qualifying for the ninth round of a campaign which looks increasingly set to come down to a battle between team-mates Norris and Piastri for the biggest prize in motor racing. Norris ended a poor run over one lap to take pole in Monaco a week ago before going on to claim his second win of the campaign and reducing Piastri's championship lead to just three points. POLE POSITION IN BARCELONA! 🏁 Oscar's secures his fourth Pole position of the season 👏 #McLaren | #M7AReborn | #SpanishGP 🇪🇸 — McLaren (@McLarenF1) May 31, 2025 But Norris has never won consecutive races in Formula One, and his hopes of building on his Monte Carlo triumph were dealt a setback in Barcelona with Piastri taking an emphatic pole. Piastri's advantage of 0.209 seconds is the biggest of the season so far. Norris held a slender advantage of 0.017 sec after the first runs in Q3 and although he improved with his final attempt, Norris conceded his lap was scrappy, and it was Piastri in the other papaya car who soared to the top of the order. 'Oscar drove very well but the pace was easily there today,' said Norris. 'Sometimes you don't put the lap in. I know where I lost that time. I made a mistake at Turn 1 and on the exit of Turn 4. 'I was trying a little bit too much and I wasn't tidy enough. Just one too many mistakes. I am still fine and happy with second. It is not the end of the world.' Of course, Norris is right and he could yet land a win here on Sunday which would move him back to the summit of the title standings. However, it is Piastri, who is proving the more consistent performer this season, with four victories to Norris' two, and it is he who will hold the aces on the long run down to the first corner. Quickest in both the second and third practice sessions prior to qualifying, the Australian said: 'I always felt confident pole was on the cards so I am glad we pulled it off.' McLaren have won six of the eight rounds so far, and their rivals might have hoped that a clampdown on flexible front wings – which some believe has contributed to the British team's rise – would slow them down. However, the rule tweak has done little to influence McLaren's speed, with Max Verstappen and George Russell both 0.302 sec slower than Piastri. Chequered flag on our Saturday on track 🇪🇸 — Scuderia Ferrari HP (@ScuderiaFerrari) May 31, 2025 Red Bull's Verstappen and Mercedes' Russell posted identical times but it is the former who will start one place better off in third by virtue of setting his lap first. Lewis Hamilton called his car 'undriveable' in practice on Friday. But he finished fifth here and out-qualified Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc for the first time since the second round in China – albeit half-a-second off Piastri's pace. Leclerc had to settle for seventh with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli splitting the Ferrari pair. Hamilton later took aim at the new front-wing technical directive. 'It has not made a difference,' he said. 'What a waste of money. The wings still bend and everyone has had to spend more money. It doesn't make sense. I would have given that money to charity.'

Look out for inspiring Aries folk with whom you experience immediate sparks. Work & Purpose – The Hanged Man You've felt stuck recently, in a bit of a limbo situation. And the trick to finding a way out of this is to change your mindset, outlook and perspective on it. Ask for different opinions and feedback, look at it from other points of view. You've gotten trapped in your own head and the answer will not be found there. Something offbeat and radical is needed, go find it, and use it. Omen to look out for – Eight of Cups Look for the number 8, or repeats of it. Look for broken objects or items that are still being used but carry a flaw, dent, scratch or even breakage. Look out for situations that are not panning out as you hoped, that aren't delivering the good and you find yourself making excuses or pretending things are going better than they are.

Let it go, better opportunities are coming in to replace it. Libra 13 Look out for wise, world-weary Air signs who you feel safe around Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Nine of Swords Whatever is bothering you and you've been trying to keep a lid on it… just say it.

You are feeling in control of your relationship realm, happy with the folk in it, and ready to make more amazing plans and adventures together. Take the initiative and create invitations for wonderful outings and events this Spring and Summer. Work & Purpose – Seven of Swords There could be someone a bit shady in your career realm, someone who perhaps envies your position or reputation, perhaps wants what you have, or is just a troublemaker. Note their actions, sidestep their traps, and keep your distance. Let them show their hand by giving them plenty of rope (bot don't stand too close). They will reveal themselves.

And look out for an older Air sign female (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) who will give you the greatest idea you're going to get all year! Listen to her. Work & Purpose – Ace of Cups Something new is coming your way and you're going to love it! This is a new role, colleague, project or activity / task that absolutely lights you up, plays to your strengths and desires, and provokes a new sense of enthusiasm and optimism about what you do.

If you notice one of these omens then you're being led towards the uncovering of a major secret or illusion in your realm. Dig, probe, ask, validate, check, research. It WILL come to light. Aquarius 13 Look out for children in your home or family who need some fun- perhaps you can join forces too Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Page of Wands Play time!
