A super rare Plymouth Superbird – a model which featured in the Disney Pixar kids movie Cars – is for sale for £147,000.

The blue motor – built in 1970 – was one of just 2,000 made.

It can go 185mph and boasts an impressive 0-60mph of 5.5 seconds.

The model with its iconic nose cone is well known for circuit racing.

But it became even more famous when it appeared in animated form in the 2006 children’s film Cars.

The Superbird is being sold at auction by Bring a Trailer in Slidell, near New Orleans, Louisiana, US.

It has a 4.4litre V8 engine and has done 91,000 miles – just 1,685 per year.

“It was completed on November 30, 1969, and spent time in Tennessee before it was purchased by John Vaughn, a Chrysler Corporation Space Division engineer assigned to conduct wind-tunnel testing during the development of the Dodge Charger Daytona and the Plymouth Superbird.

“The car underwent a refurbishment that was completed in 2005 before it was purchased by the seller in 2010.
