Dust off your mop top and head back to the 1960s with the chance to own one of the Monkeemobiles.
It's up for grabs at auction on 19 July and is a car built for a 2011 tour by the American pop band. It's based on a 1966 Pontiac GTO and replicates the original car from the television series featuring the four members of the Beatles-alike group.
Created by James Benken in the USA, the Monkeemobile has a tilted-forward two-piece windscreen, convertible roof and modified bodywork to ape the original film car. There are also four bucket seats, a third row bench and even a parachute to help stop the car.
The Monkeemobile will be sold at auction at Brooklands on 19 July is expected to fetch between £75,000 and £85,000.
