The vehicle, believed to be an E93, was filmed off a beach in Cornwall on Sunday with the coastguard joking: “You can’t park there!” St Agnes Coastguard Search & Rescue Team said they were called to the beauty spot at around 8.30am, where they first made sure there was no one in the car.

Their teams then remained on scene while recovery efforts took place, before the flashy sports car was finally removed by a tow truck off the beach.
