The owner of a £400,000 Lamborghini Aventador ended up ‘walking home in tears’ after the untaxed motor was seized by police. 

Officers stopped the flash supercar as it was heading to a car meet in South Mimms, Hertfordshire, on Bank Holiday Monday. 

Police said the driver had decided not to tax the sports vehicle because it was ‘too expensive’.  

A Lamborghini Aventador can cost more than £400,000, reaching speeds of up to 218mph and producing around 690bhp.

Officers caught the motor being driven in ‘an anti-social manner’ on the A1 in the early hours of Monday morning. 

Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire (BCH) Road Policing Unit said the Italian-made car was stopped because the driver had already been warned twice about causing ‘alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public’. 

It added that the vehicle was seized under Section 60 of the Police Reform Act 2002, which allows officers to require a person to give their name and address if they are acting in an anti-social manner.
