This is the moment the owner of a luxury car firm says he pulled over by police who later took his Lamborghini Huracan for a 'joyride'

The owner of a Lamborghini has accused police of 'joyriding' the supercar at twice the speed limit after they seized it from him.

Erwyn Mackee says his Huracan was confiscated near London's Heathrow Airport after he was wrongly accused of not having insurance.

He claims that when the vehicle was returned to him the following day, its tracker showed the car had done more than 60mph in a 30mph zone.

Mr Mackee owns City Supercars in London, a firm which hires out Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Bentleys for thousands of pounds a weekend to wealthy clients.

He says the £200,000 car was due to be taken to Bradford in Yorkshire for a client to use in a wedding when he was pulled over by police just before midnight on Wednesday evening.

The 32-year-old says the hire company was renewing its car insurance but the new details were not on the Motor Insurance Database.

Mr Mackee said: 'I emailed him the documents from the new insurer but they said that I could have Photoshopped them and that is wasn't proof of cover, I'm going to impound the car.'

After Mr Mackee told the police they needed 'overwhelming evidence' to take the car, he claims he was threatened with arrest.

He added: 'Then five more police cars turned up. They must have not had much to do last night and just wanted to look at the car. It doesn't really make sense, he just wanted to have a bit of drive.'

He added: 'In the morning at 8am we went and showed the officers at the station the same paper work and they released the car.'

Mr Mackee says tracker records suggest the car was driven on the North Perimeter Road in Hounslow at speeds of 53mph, 47 mph and 63 mph in 30 mph zones between 1.03am and 1.05am on Thursday morning.

Mr Mackee sent a tweet to Metropolitan Police, saying his car had been impounded 'unlawfully' and was driven at over double the speed limit

He included with the post readings from his car's driver's log, which appeared to show exactly the speed the officers had driven at

He says he will make a formal complaint to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, but did not receive a reply to his tweet to the Met Police.

He added: 'The tracker is picked up by our insurer and every time it breaks the speed limit it is logged so this will be costly, I'm going to have to explain this to our insurance company as well.

'And 60 mph is really unsafe in a 30 zone, nobody should be doing those speeds. If you or I were caught doing that speed we would be given huge fines. It's just crazy.'

The Met Police said they are investigating Mr Mackee's claims.
