Luton hire company summoned to court after Lamborghini seized in Cambridge

A LUTON hire company, along with the lessee, have been summoned to court, after a Lamborghini Huracan was seized in Cambridge.

The green Lamborghini Huracan, worth around £180,700, was pulled over by police outside Parkside Station on Sunday after officers noticed the eye-catching sports car was missing a front number plate.

A further inspection found that the driver’s insurance didn’t cover him to sit behind its luxury wheel and the car was immediately seized by police.

Now both the driver and a Luton car hire company have been reported for summons for having and permitting no insurance and also for not having a frontal number plate.

The owner also has 14 days to reclaim the Huracan from its current location in storage before it is sold on by police to add a tidy sum to their coffers.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police explained: “The car is seized and held for 14 days. In that time, if the driver/owner comes forward with the documents required then they can retrieve the car. The only costs will be storage cost

“If there is no response in this time or the correct documents are not produced, then the car is disposed of. For most cars of any value, they will be sold on and only vehicles of very low value will be scrapped.”

“Where vehicles are worth more than £800 the proceeds of the sale come back to the police.

“We keep those proceeds for a certain amount of time (believed to be six months) and if the owner comes forward during this period they can claim the money.

“If they do not, then it is put back into policing.”
