The red roadster – a 1956 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Tour De France — featured alongside humble Volkswagen Beetle “Herbie” in the 1968 film.
It is now one of the most expensive cars ever to come on the open market in England.

With a top speed of 145mph, it picked up its Tour de France name thanks to its dominance in the famous ten-day road race.
