A gold-plated Maserati GranCabrio concluded its trip to London on the back of an AA track.
The car was seized by the police and towed away for a very simple reason, it had L-plates.
According to a Kingston Police spokesperson, L-plates on a six-figure, gold-plated Maserati was a bit sus.
So they seized it.

The owner of the Maserati said he’ll just his Rolls-Royce
The police did not disclose the identity of the driver, so some people thought the car belonged to the Saudi Billionaire who regularly takes his $1.2 million collection of gold-plated cars to London.
But that’s not the case.
The Maserati actually belongs to Hamza Seikh, a ‘teenager billionaire’ who, right after the ‘incident, which occurred a few years ago, told the Telegraph he’ll simply use his Rolls-Royce to learn how to drive.
Can you drive a supercar on L-plates?
There are specific speed limits when you’re driving on L-plates, but you technically can drive any car.
However, it appears that the real reason why the police seized the car was the fact it was uninsured.
According to the Telegraph, Mr Seikh was facing a minimum £300 ($395) fine and six points on his license.
A timeless classic
First unveiled in 2010, the GranCabrio is still around today, and Maserati is even making an electric model now.
Part of the reason why this car lasted so lang is it just looks good.
The design is timeless; Maserati nailed it, so the automaker didn’t have to do much to keep it modern.
Some cars designed 14 years look totally out of place in today’s traffic, they look old, but not in a good way.
But the Maserati is still a looker.
