A classic Ferrari 275 is selling for an estimated £40,000 but it can’t be driven on roads as it’s a 30mph kids toy.
The Ferrero Le Mans Children’s Car is modelled on the iconic 1964 Le Mans-winning car.
The real thing could reach 155mph whilst boasting an outlandish 370bhp, four litre engine.
But this tiny version has a max speed of 30mph and 4bhp engine.

It is just a third of the size and powered by a 50cc engine and a 12v battery.

A spokesperson for the auction house said: “This handsome one-third scale Ferrero Le Mans is one of 12 miniature tributes handcrafted in 1992 by Eugenio Ferrero at his Carrozzeria Eugenio in Briosco, Italy.
“Styled after the Le Mans-winning 1964 Ferrari 275 P, it is built with a tubular steel chassis, and has a one-piece fibreglass body.

“And is powered by a 50cc, two-stroke Piaggio engine, which is mated to a four-speed gearbox with reverse gear, and full 12-volt battery and electrics.
“Finished in red and white livery, the car has a tan leather seat for the monoposto driving position.
“Controls, to the driver’s left, fall easily to the hand, be it a small one.

“Overall, this delightful little Ferrero is very clean and correctly detailed.”
However, the added: “Though not legal for road use, nor homologated for FIA competition, it is ideal for fast laps around the driveway.”
