A Narre Warren South man has been left without a vehicle after he was caught driving with no bonnet in Cranbourne North earlier this week.
Police thought they were seeing things when they first spotted the topless burgundy BMW on Greaves Road about 3.15pm on Monday 21 July.
They pulled the male driver over and saw the bonnet was gone, completely exposing the engine.
With no idea where he’d popped the hood, police took a closer inspection of the vehicle.
They noticed strange seat cushions, and soon realised the front seats had been removed and he was sitting on a plastic garden chair.
The driver, a 64-year-old Narre Warren South man, claimed he was heading to get some parts and knew the car was not roadworthy.
He was issued with a defect notice and is expected to be charged on summons with traffic offences.
