Tuesday, August 11, 2026 - London police have seized a rare Ferrari Monza SP2 worth about £3.7 million during a major crackdown on uninsured, unlicensed and antisocial driving.
The limited-edition supercar was stopped in Mayfair, with reports stating that the driver had only a provisional licence and no insurance. The Ferrari was among around 90 vehicles seized during the Metropolitan Police operation across central London.
The crackdown highlights a tougher approach to high-end vehicles being driven illegally or dangerously on London's streets. Police said the seized vehicles were collectively worth more than £8 million, with officers using new powers aimed at tackling antisocial driving.
The Ferrari Monza SP2 is particularly rare, with only 499 examples produced worldwide, making its seizure one of the operation's most eye-catching moments.
The operation sends a clear warning to motorists, regardless of how expensive their cars are: expensive vehicles do not place drivers above UK road laws.
Authorities are continuing enforcement efforts as London's summer influx of high-performance cars brings increased attention to insurance, licensing and responsible driving. For owners of luxury and imported vehicles, having the correct documentation could now be more important than ever.
