A man will face trial in March over allegations he drove a stolen Mercedes while disqualified and uninsured.
Christopher James Christian of Sumark Croft in Douglas was excused appearing before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.
At an earlier hearing, the 26-year-old admitted taking the car without consent on August 25 but denied driving while disqualified and having no insurance on the same date.
Magistrates bailed him to appear in court again on March 17 at the start of his trial.
