Carlos Tevez's car seized by police, the Manchester United footballer, had his £140,000 Bentley seized after police pulled him over because his windows were "too dark".

“Officers warned him his windows were too heavily tinted but then seized the car when they realised he did not have a full UK licence.

Police took the £140,000 white car to a compound because he had no one to drive it home, while Patrice Evra, another team-mate, also in a Bentley, stopped to give Tevez a lift.
Tevez now faces prosecution for driving without a valid licence.”
