A sleek Rolls-Royce seized by police is set to be auctioned off 'for a bargain price', GMP has revealed.
The force said the alleged owner of the high-end car has been 'unable to prove legitimate ownership' - hence the Roller going under the hammer.
The car - said to be worth just under £130,000 - was pulled over on Deansgate in Manchester city centre in September, said the force. The driver didn't have valid insurance.

It's understood police work with various auction houses to sell items they seize for a fraction of their real price.
On GMP's website it states a person has 14 days to 'prove satisfactory ownership and provide legitimate insurance for a vehicle' at a police station 'or it will be disposed of'. Valid driving licences must be provided as well.
The force adds: "If you haven't provided the correct and legitimate proof of ownership within 14 days of the time of the issue of the seizure notice, your vehicle will be disposed of via the government approved vehicle disposal scheme.
"This means your vehicle will either be scrapped or sold at auction."
Greater Manchester Police's traffic division have advertised the case on social media.
Writing on Twitter, they said: "This Rolls-Royce was seized last month by GMP patrols on Deansgate as the driver did not have insurance. The alleged owner has since been unable to prove legitimate ownership, so this £129K car will be auctioned off for a bargain price soon."
No further details have been revealed.
