This blue Austin A40 Devon 4-door saloon was recently used in the filming of the upcoming Narnia film.
It features a cream interior, with 42,716 miles showing on the odometer.
The only accompanying paperwork is the V5C which indicates 4 former keepers.
The car does drive but please note there is a rattle coming from the engine, which you can hear in our video.
We have therefore not driven it out of our yard.
