Ferrari worth £1,000,000 seized by police for driving without insurance
A Ferrari worth more than £1 million has been seized by police after the driver didn’t purchase insurance.
Police pulled over the driver behind the wheel of a Ferrari F40 on Tom Crisp Way, Lowerstoft, Suffolk on Friday morning.
Officers wrote on Facebook: ‘Following a few checks turns out this really expensive car which was recently purchased, did not have any insurance… oh man bad times.’
The supercar was kept by police and the driver was reported for not having any insurance.
A Suffolk Police spokesman said: ‘The vehicle was removed by a recovery company and the driver is able to get it back once they prove a policy of insurance has been bought.
‘They also have to pay a £150 recovery fee and daily storage costs until they collect it.’
The cars regularly sell for more than £1 million, and some have even been sold in excess of £2 million.
Last year a Ferrari worth £500,000 smashed into a row of parked cars.
CCTV footage shows the driver of the SF90 Stradale model – the most powerful Ferrari road car ever – crawling out of the wreckage after the crash.
After appearing from nowhere, it took only second for the Italian supercar to ram head-on into the row of parked vehicles in Halesowen, near Birmingham.
The video also shows at least two of the three vehicles had been severely damaged by the impact.
