$450,000 Lamborghini Faces Crusher After Cops Seize Supercar by calddon(m): 7:57am On Aug 12, 2013 |
A luxury sports car seized in London for allegedly having no insurance could end up in the crusher, police said Thursday. The $450,000 Lamborghini Aventador was stopped by police near high-end department store Harrods at the end of last month. Should the owner – believed to be 24-year-old Nasser Al-Thani – fail to produce up-to-date insurance details and refuse to pay any imposed fine, he could see his flashy supercar wrecked by a crusher. And while such an unthinkable act may bring tears to the eyes of petrolheads around the world, Al-Thani might simply shrug his shoulders, pop down the nearest Lamborghini showroom and buy another one. He is, after all, a member of the Qatari ruling family. A spokesman for London’s Metropolitan Police told the Evening Standard the Lamborghini, complete with its 6.5-liter V12 engine, isn’t the first upmarket vehicle its seized. “We’ve had a few Porsches, BMW X5s, and a Ferrari – that one got crushed and in fact the vast majority of them are,” the spokesman said. The car, with an extraordinary purple and orange paint job that’s rumored to glow in the dark, drew quite a crowd when it was pulled over by police (video below) in London’s wealthy Knightsbridge district last week, with many eager to snap a picture of the 217-mph car as it was loaded onto the back of a truck. http://m.digitaltrends.com/international/450000-lamborghini-faces-crusher-after-cops-seize-supercar/

I've never seen proof that a high-end automobile got crushed. We hear the stories, but they're unfounded. This car will get auctioned off, if the owner doesn't produce an insurance certificate, pay the towing charges, as well as daily storage fees. Once these fees mount up after a reasonable amount of time, the automobile will go up for auction. All the British bureaucracy keep under wraps. Corruption and dishonesty isn't only a Nigerian trend. 2 Likes |

ZIM DRILL: Zim, I'm not disputing that...all I'm saying is these high-end automobile are NOT crushed, as the powers-that-be would have us believe. I fail to see why they'd deliberately lie, unless it's about what the realised funds are used for? |
