£150,000 Aston Martin seized by police on A60 in Nottinghamshire and could be crushed

Police seized a £150,000 Aston Martin in the early of hours of Monday, September 21, after it was seen being driven without insurance - and its driver now faces a fine up to £5,000.

The flash car was stopped on the A60 after the force suspected it was not insured.

Nottinghamshire Police's Special Constables team seized the £150,000 supercar and said the legal owner must now recover the vehicle, or risk it being crushed.

Meanwhile, the driver now faces six points and a fine of up to £5,000.

Police said in a post on Facebook: "The driver of this brand new Aston Martin attracted the attention of Gedling’s dedicated team of pro-active Special Constables in the early hours of this morning (Monday 21 September) due to their manner of driving.

"The team stopped the vehicle on the A60 near Ravenshead and after a few checks, suspected the driver to not have any insurance to drive it. Following a few enquiries, the team seized the £150,000 supercar under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act.

"The legal owner must now recover the vehicle, or risk it being crushed."
