A ONE-of-a-kind Ford Capri made from two crushed cars has sold for £8,100.
This bright yellow vehicle has a mileage of 19,472, plus a handy surprise hidden in the boot.
Originally, the Ford Capri dates back to 1972, however, this version was built in the mid-80s.
It was constructed using two crushed cars that were once used to teach students about repairing accident damage at a technical school.
Since this time, it was re-registered in August 1986 with a new age-related number plate and then fully restored by 2016.
Previously, this car came in white, but now it's a flashy Daytona Yellow.
