Doherty's car taken away by bailiffs

Pete Doherty has lost his ninth Jaguar after failing to pay £170 road tax on the vehicle.

The singer's car was taken away after bailiffs arrived at his East London home yesterday morning. Doherty purchased the Jag this summer after his others were impounded following a series of traffic offences.

An onlooker told the Daily Star: "Pete's not exactly clever about this. For the sake of a couple of hundred quid he's now lost another Jag.

"It didn't take them very long to get the car out of there. They winched the Jaguar up onto their trailer and away they went. The pound must be like a second-hand Jag showroom now. They seem to take one a month off him at the moment."
