"‘Our car has, as far as we are aware, never been shot at, blown up or raced, having been in the same gentle hands of our vendor since the 1970s, receiving limited use since.

"From an auction perspective, few cars get more exciting than this and we look forward in earnest to the sale weekend."

The model was a popular choice among celebrities with former owners including Mick Jagger, Sir Paul McCartney and Peter Sellers.
