A source said : “Ben is a great footballer but he’s not great on bureaucratic details like paperwork.
“He didn’t realise he wasn’t insured so it’s a monumental blunder on his part.
“He’s desperately trying to correct it but the fact it’s now 20 days since his car was seized, he’s at risk of it being destroyed.
“The police know he wants it back and are happy to return it but only once he’s provided the necessary paperwork.
“It’s worrying that after almost three weeks he still hasn’t managed to sort it out. It’s a beautiful car and he just wants it back in one piece.”
Mendy’s Aventador SVJ is just one of 900 that Lamborghini plans to make. It was purchased in France and comes with a French number plate.
