Despite the stunning look of the car, on further inspection the grill has a dent in it.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “Officers spotted this Rolls-Royce in Whitechapel.

“Driver stopped and spoken to and after a few enquiries it was identified that the driver only had a provisional licence and no insurance either.

“One rather expensive car off to the pound and driver off to court.”

Locals were left shocked, as reported by Need To Know.

Matty Hodgson joked: “They’ll worm their way out of it like every other wealthy person.”
