Crime report disclosing how a rogue landlord’s cherished
£200,000 Ferrari is crushed by cops – who deemed it “unroadworthy”.
According
to report Zahid Khan famously once parked the 458 Spider on the pavement
outside Birmingham Crown Court during a trial he was taking part in.
Weeks
later it was seized by West Midlands police who suspected it was stolen.
They
then revealed they destroyed it because it had no valid insurance and was
judged to be a Category B vehicle – which means it suffered serious damage in
the past – making it unroadworthy.
The
31-year-old insisted he was the rightful owner and sourced all the parts used
in the car from official sources.
He
says he is now planning on taking legal action after obtaining footage from the
police.
He
said: “I can’t believe they have destroyed my car. I love
supercars and have owned a number of them and loved this car.
“I
saved to buy this car, and it was sentimental to me and my family. The
police had no right to do what they did, it’s very sad, this money could have
gone to a good cause.
“Ferrari
parts are worth more than the car itself. I had a quote to sell the
Ferrari in parts for over 250k.
“I’m
planning on taking the officer to court for breaching a court order and
unlawfully destroying my car.”
