An old van used as a roadside advert has been towed away by police - because it hasn't been taxed for more than 25 years.
The vehicle, which displayed advertising for a local scrap metal merchants, was parked up on a grass verge next to a busy route in Warrington, Cheshire.
But DVLA records revealed the van hasn't been taxed for 26 years, according to Cheshire Police, who helped remove it from one of the main routes in and out of the town.
A photograph released by the force shows the red van being loaded onto the back of a flatbed lorry.
