Police seized an untaxed £168,000 Lamborghini Huracan and revealed the driver asked to use their phone to tax his supercar in a bid to get his wheels back.
Soho Road Police, based in Handsworth, had the untaxed luxury car towed away on the back of a truck in Birmingham.
In a desperate bid to stop the seizure, the driver asked to use the officer’s mobile phone to tax the vehicle.
The motorist also struggled to get his story straight, according to officers, eventually admitting he ‘couldn’t afford to tax’ the luxury motor.
Soho Road Police took to Twitter to share the news, writing: ‘Untaxed Lamborghini Huracan seized! Driver asked to use my phone to tax the vehicle.

‘Then claimed his friend had taxed it, then said he couldn’t afford to tax it. Will have to tax it and pay a fine to get it back now!’
The driver will be forced to pay the seizure fees in order to get back the vehicle.
The force states on its website: ‘When your vehicle was seized you will have been given a vehicle seizure form (WT840 or WT841). You will only be able to reclaim your vehicle Monday to Friday between 8am and 4pm, and this must be at the police station specified on the seizure form.
‘Once your documents have been validated your seizure form will be stamped, authorising the release of your vehicle. You can then attend the vehicle recovery operator to collect your vehicle. You will need to pay the seizure fees and show the recovery operator your documentation before the vehicle is released.’
