David Cameron was unable to arrive in Downing Street in a new Jaguar XJ because the car was still being tested by Metropolitan police, according to reports.
Jaguar is said to have rushed to have two armoured versions of the latest XJ ready in order to capitalise on the publicity from having Britain's new prime minister arrive in office in the car.
However, the new Prime Minister was forced to to arrive at Number Ten in an old generation car because police tests hadn't been completed on the new model.
Instead, he took delivery of the latest generation car the following day and will now continue to use it for ministerial business.
