Meanwhile, a stylist Lamborghini once owned by a legend of British rock music has sold for an eye-watering price.
The 1970s supercar is widely considered one of the most beautiful cars ever made - and is today considered a true icon.
The evergreen Lambo Countach LP400, one of only 157 examples of the first-series LP400 ‘Periscopio’ models produced, was once the prized possession of Sir Rod Stewart.
The Maggie May singer owned the retro supercar for 25 years - having first acquired it while touring Australia.
According to GQ, Sir Rod loved the 180mph car so much when it was delivered to him that he kept it inside his music studio for at least two weeks while he was recording demos for his Blondes Have More Fun album.
As he was in Australia at the time, he opted for a rare right-hand drive model - one of only 20 - but upon returning to Los Angeles, he took the Countach with him and had it converted to left-hand drive.
