When visiting a police station it's probably advisable to attract as little attention as possible.

Turning up in a bright yellow Lamborghini, for example, might not be the best idea.

It certainly caught the eye of officers at Eccles police station today, for all the wrong reasons.

The driver had gone in to reclaim a car that had previously been seized for not being insured.

But it turned out that the Lamborghini he arrived in wasn't covered by the insurance policy either - and now it is also in the possession of Greater Manchester Police.

According to the GMP Traffic Twitter account, the driver ended up leaving without either set of wheels.

"If you're going to turn up at the police station to reclaim your previously seized vehicle for no insurance, it might be worth checking that the car you turn up in is covered on your policy first," GMP tweeted.

"This lambo is now on its way to join his other car. Driver reported."

GMP appears to have accumulated quite the collection of supercars in the past few days.

Indeed, this is third time they have seized a Lamborghini in recent weeks.

Over the weekend, city centre cops seized a red Lamborghini and reported the driver for having no insurance.

The force also hit out at 'boy racers' who spent Friday and Saturday night driving high powered supercars in laps around the city centre.

And last week, a white Lamborghini was seized near Manchester Road in Oldham after the driver was found to have no insurance.

The car, which is thought to be worth at least £300,000, was being used to escort teenagers to their school prom at the time.
