A rare Lamborghini with a submarine-style feature is selling for £750,000.
The 1975 Countach LP400 was one of only 157 made with the periscope-like rear view mirror.
About 2,000 of the classic supercars were made in total.

But less than 10% had the special mirror which was designed to increase visibility.
It was compared to the instrument on a sub which comes out of the water when the vessel is submerged.
The vintage Lambo were called Periscopio which translates from Italian as Periscope.
It has a 4-litre V-12 engine under the hood which means it has 370bhp and can go 229mph.
The Countach – famed for its shape edges and scissor doors – is being sold by RM Sotheby’s.
A spokesperson for the auction house said: “A novel rear-view mirror concept was among the smaller features of the first 157 examples of the Lamborghini Countach.
“However, it was arguably the most defining.
“Now known as ‘Periscopio’ cars, these early LP400s gained a small slot in the roof that improved visibility.
“For its stunning wedge styling, many consider the Countach to be the archetypal poster pinup supercar.
“This early and highly sought-after LP400 ‘Periscopio’ example presents the model in its purest form, closest to legendary designer Marcello Gandini’s original vision.
“The car would therefore make for a superlative addition to any Lamborghini collection.”
It goes under the hammer in Paris, next Wednesday (5 Feb).
Last July, a Countach LP400 Periscopio once owned by music legend Rod Stewart sold for £550,000.
The sale took place in Los Angeles, California, US, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
