ItalyEd Sheeran has been fined for failing to insure his 1966 Aston Martin during a period when the car was undergoing restoration and conversion to electric power. According to the court proceedings in Bradford, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency discovered in December 2025 that the vehicle lacked mandatory insurance coverage during the restoration work, which began in 2021. Sheeran admitted to the violation but argued that he believed the workshop’s insurance was sufficient. He explained that the car remained at the workshop in Durham throughout the period and was never driven on public roads. In a letter to the court, he stated he had neither physical possession nor practical control of the vehicle, emphasizing that it has been unusable since 2021 and is still being converted into an electric vehicle.
