Doting husband buys undriveable £30k car for wife

Most husbands will buy their wives flowers for Valentine's Day, if they're lucky. However, one husband spent £30,000 on a new chrome-finished Mini for his wife, which she is now finding impossible to be covered for women's car insurance.

The builder bought the chrome car from a London showroom as a Valentine's Day gift for his wife. While he was able to get the car home from the showroom thanks to the week of free insurance, they have since been unable to take it off their drive.

Speaking of his shiny purchase, the 42-year-old said, "I've been left with the world's most expensive mirror. No one will touch it with a barge pole."

According to car insurance companies, the car is too much of a risk to insure due to the thieves it will attract and the scuffs and scratches which will be made to the soft bodywork.
