Katie Price’s fiancé Carl Woods ‘risks a £1,000 fine by driving an untaxed BMW into her Mucky Mansion – after turning the house into a secondhand car lot’
Katie Price’s fiancé Carl Woods has put himself at risk of a £1,000 fine, after being seen driving an untaxed car into her Mucky Mansion.
The car salesman, 32, jumped behind the wheel of a blue BMW 3 series which has had its tax overdue since September 15, flashing a thumbs up as he drove the car into Katie’s £3 million home.
It comes after it was reported that Katie and Carl were facing a new council row after he turned her mansion into a secondhand car lot, having previously used her grounds for the venture late last year.

Carl donned a cap as he flashed a thumbs up while driving along in his car, with records showing that the tax on the car has been overdue for more than a month.
If an untaxed vehicle is used on a public road, an out of court settlement (OCS) letter is issued, set at £30, and if the OCS is not paid, a fine can be issued to the value of £1,000 or five times the amount of tax chargeable.
The vehicle may also be clamped and additional fees could be issued.

Last week, an investigation was launched after a ‘Mercedes, Range Rover, Jaguar and VW Beetle’ were spotted outside Katie’s mansion, after the previous probe was closed in March, according to The Sun.
The publication reports that the previous investigation was launched in December last year but later closed, with a second now ‘pending consideration.’
If trading vehicles from home, planning laws require that planning permission should be applied for to change the use of the premises.
It could be deemed to affect the ‘environment, highway safety, the character of the area and neighbours homes’ the decision for Carl’s case is due on December 5.
MailOnline have contacted representatives for Katie Price for comment. Carl’s representative was not available for comment.

In December, Carl bolstered his car business and is now selling 12 luxury used cars at her Mucky Mansion in Horsham.
He added to his collection as his advert on Autotrader inviting potential customers to his partner’s former home, with buyers able to chose from 12 motors including a £24,995 Porsche Panamera and a £31,995 Mercedes M Class.
It comes as Katie was handed a 16-week suspended sentence and two-year driving ban for crashing her uninsured BMW X5 while disqualified and under the influence.
Despite not being able to legally get behind the wheel herself, it hasn’t stopped Katie’s partner from flogging his luxurious used vehicles on her property, with the hunk having added more cars
