<br>More than £5million worth of luxury motors and supercars were stolen in the UK last year, including Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces, new data shows. Although fewer than 100 of the 61,343 cars stolen in the UK last year were exotic vehicles, many are worth in excess of £100,000. Consumer car title What Car? analysed reported car theft data supplied by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) following a freedom of information request.  It found that the priciest model of all cars pinched in the last calendar year was a nearly new 2024 Ferrari Purosangue luxury SUV taken from Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire, which has a value of around £375,000.  On its own, it's worth 75 times more than the most frequently stolen vehicle, the 2016 Ford Fiesta, which has an average value of just £5,000. Nine of the 10 most expensive nicked motors were taken from owners in England - three of them pinched in London.
