Top Gear's famous 'Reasonably Priced Car' has become an unreasonably priced car after selling for nearly £18,000 - twice its normal value.
The 2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 has been driven around the hit BBC show's race track by the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Sir Michael Gambon.
A typical version of the car is currently worth around £8,000 - but the bright red Top Gear model sold for £17,800 at a charity auction held on eBay .
And the buyer will not even be able to drive it legally on the road because the air bags were disabled to make way for racing modifications such as a roll cage.
More than 60 people bid on the motor, which was handed back to Vauxhall with 2,908 miles on the clock following Jeremy Clarkson's fracas with a producer.
