A bizarre motor with a Simpsons portrait stuck to the door and a guitar on the roof has been taken off the road by police.
The graffiti-covered car was banned from the road by Essex Police on Saturday after they arrested the driver outside Tesco in Pitsea.
Officers on the force's Southern Roads Policing Unit posted images of the characterful vehicle on social media.
They wrote: "This car caught our eye! That's not a surprise. The driver was wanted and arrested for non traffic offences.
"The car has now been prohibited and the driver reported."
Pictures show the battered car, which appears to be a silver Nissan Micra, covered in stickers and scrawled messages.
A colourful portrait of the Simpson family on their famous sofa seems to be attached to the passenger door.
And what looks like a box made from speaker cases sits on the roof, with a red electric guitar protruding from it.
