It’s being marketed as a brilliant addition to any modern collection.
With its classic, swish look the listing states it’s a “head-turning” and “exciting” companion for weekend drives.
The vehicle is adapted to fair-weather cruising and custom car show visits alike, according to the listing.
It says: “The model was originally UK-supplied and first registered in June 1983 and has been with its current owner for over 12 years.”

Any car enthusiast wishing to get their hands on the model can bid online, by phone or in the room.

This comes as a stunning Ford Capri that’s so rare only 14 of its kind exist in the world was put up for sale for a five-figure sum.
The iconic motor, which is a much-loved classic and considered highly collectable, recently surfaced on Facebook Marketplace.
The listing, which indicates the car is located in Arundel, Littlehampton, claimed the renowned Ford has undergone an extensive restoration.
In fact, the sellers assert it is “highly doubtful” that any other Capri could match its high standard.
It also states that the 1969 motor, which is listed for sale at £42,000, cost approximately £60,000 in total to restore, with the car now looking better than new.
Tweaks to the car’s appearance include new panels, floors, arches, seams, and much more.
