Volkswagen Financial Services UK, the trading name of Porsche Financial Services, took the duke to court and claimed he had an outstanding debt of £64,500 on the £132k vehicle. The financing agreement was originally entered in July 2018 and terminated in November 2021 after the duke was serviced with a default notice in September making him aware of his unpaid debt, Oxford Mail reports.

Solicitors on behalf of VW Financial Services demanded the return of the luxury vehicle in February this year. For whatever reason the duke did not comply leading to the ruling by the district judge in favour of VW Financial Services.
