    Our road laws are like a chain so they’re also on the hook for driving without insurance, No Tax, no MOT, Violation of customs and duties, and I’m not a lawyer but whoever is might have a nice pay day

      Possibly, not sure how it works if they’re a visitor from mainland Europe (the reg plate doesn’t look to be a UK one) - if their vehicle isn’t road legal in the UK, does that invalidate their insurance where they’re from?

        However, it has not yet passed UK road safety tests.

        GMP said the car that was seized had been referred to Operation Wolverine, which was established in 2007 to target drivers without insurance.

        The owner will have to prove ownership and correct insurance prior to release.

        So even if insurance was proven, not sure how for an illegal vehicle, it could be released, but it couldn’t be driven, so knowing the way our authorities work; get this vehicle collected, on a transporter of some kind and get it out of our compound by xx date or we’ll crush it.

    Hey hey it’s only £48,000 if you buy it new. If you get one used, they’re usually a lot cheaper but they can be as much as twenty-eight pounds.
