A vintage Ferrari once owned by TV and radio star Chris Evans is set to sell for £1.5million.
The red 1964 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso boasts a top speed of 150mph.
The classic motor – with a 0-60mph of eight seconds – was one of just 350 ever built.
It was the 16th off the production line and has a 2.9 litre, V12, 240bhp engine.

Virgin Radio host Evans – a keen car collector – snapped it up in 2013.
As well as the famous red Ferrari paintwork it has a stunning tan leather interior.
The 58-year-old former BBC Radio Two DJ only owned it for two years.
It is being sold by auctioneers RM Sotheby’s, as reported by What’s The Jam.

It underwent a full restoration in 2011 and a mechanical rebuild a year later.
A spokesperson said: “In 2011, chassis 4383 was sent to the UK for a full restoration at DK Engineering.
“Completed to a concours standard, 250 GTO moulds and drawings were precisely scaled to authentically finish the one-off bodywork.

“This car then returned to DK Engineering the year after for a mechanical rebuild, and to be finished in its present classic Ferrari red over tan interior.”
They added: “It was subsequently displayed at Walton Hall for the Ferrari Owners’ Club GB annual meeting in 2013, before being sold to radio and TV broadcaster Chris Evans, an avid collector of the marque.
“Through JD Classics, the Lusso was then bought by its consigning owner.
“Its most recent keeper has enjoyed the car at shows and events; in 2015 it was displayed on the Cartier Style et Luxe concours lawn at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
“The Ferrari has since been maintained by GTO Engineering, with many invoices available to view on file.”
Evans recently fronted Top Gear having risen to fame with shows like The Big Breakfast and TFI Friday.
He is renowned for his love of cars and his collection is worth several millions of pounds.
The auction takes place at Cliveden House, in Taplow, Berks on 12 June.
The guide price is between £1.1million and £1.5million.
