A very low mileage Ferrari F40 – popular with stars like Diego Maradona and Luciano Pavarotti – is tipped to sell for £2million.
The iconic 80s supercar has only done one mile a day in the last 35 years.
It only has 12,999 miles on the clock despite its age.

The F40 has averaged around 371 miles per year since its release in 1989.
That works out at just over one mile a day on average.
The vehicle has been in its current ownership for the past 15 years, hitting the market for the first time since 2009.
Between 1987 and 1992 around 1,300 F40s were produced by Ferrari.
The car is finished in its original and iconic Rosso Corsa colour exterior with a Stoffa Vigogna interior.
The motor is equipped with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that produces an impressive 478 horsepower.
The F40 has a top speed of 201 miles per hour and can go from nought to sixty in just four seconds.
It is also somewhat of a pioneer for Ferrari as the Pininfarina-styled bodywork was made entirely from composite material, a first for the luxury car manufacturer.
The spartan interior with minimal concessions to comfort allows the car to weigh just 1,200 kilograms, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
The car will now head under the hammer on 2 November, at The Peninsula Hotel,Belgravia, central London.
RM Sotheby’s, who are hosting the event, stated: “Throughout Ferrari’s illustrious history, few—if any—models have encapsulated the mystique of the Prancing Horse quite as succinctly as the F40.
“Outrageous in appearance, uncompromising in philosophy, and otherworldly in performance, the F40 was everything a Ferrari should be, offering arguably the most visceral and intense driving experience since that of the revered 250 GTO a quarter of a century previously.
“Undoubtedly, the F40 remains a car of firsts, lasts, and superlatives: the first genuine 200 mph supercar, the first Ferrari to feature all-composite bodywork, the last Ferrari road car personally signed off by Il Commendatore himself—and, arguably, the ultimate supercar of the “analogue” era.
“Blessed with only two owners this century, and a recorded odometer reading of just 20,921 kilometres (12,999 miles) at the time of cataloguing, such examples of the F40 seldom appear on the open market, rendering this particular sales opportunity all the more noteworthy.”
As well as late Argentinian football legend Maradona and tenor Pavarotti, F1 stars Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost owned one.
