A police spokesperson said: "The driver had just purchased the vehicle and was out test driving the car when he lost control causing it to crash and catch fire.

"Luckily for him he managed to escape uninjured before the fire took hold.

"Unfortunately for him he didn’t take out any insurance on his nice new car before taking it out for a test drive.

"The car is now destroyed and the driver has been reported to court."
