A Chinese man who transformed his old Nissan car into an eye-catching Lamborghini had it confiscated by police on its maiden voyage.
Liu Yuandong, of Kunming, in southwest China's Yunnan province, spent more than ?8,000 on the transformation.
But he was pulled over by the police within minutes of taking the 'sportscar' for its first spin around the city's streets.
Police spokesman Pu Weiping said: "His car is not registered, and should not be driven on the road.
"It appears to have been rather roughly put together and we were concerned it wouldn't meet health and safety standards."
The car is currently being held by local traffic officers who will decide whether or not to return it to Liu after a through inspection.
