AN iconic 90s Ferrari, dubbed by Jeremy Clarkson the "greatest car in the world, ever" is set to auction at an eye-watering price next month.
The RM Sotheby's auction will take place on July 8th and is set to showcase the 1996 Ferrari F355 GTS once driven by The Grand Tour and Clarkson's Farm star.

The famed motor is set to sell for as much as a staggering £220,000, at Cliveden House, Berkshire, next month.
Clarkson, 65, gushed over the red, 183mph F355 GTS and declared it the "greatest car in the world, ever," on an episode of Unleashed on Cars.
The auction listing reads: 'In the 1996 VHS special of Unleashed on Cars, presenter Jeremy Clarkson emerged from his road test aboard a Ferrari F355 declaring it to be the greatest car in the world.
'He reckoned it was the apogee of Maranello lore and modern technology.'
The F355 then went on to serve as his vehicle of choice when Clarkson retook and failed his driving test in 1999.

The iconic vehicle went on to have two more owners, before it joined the collection of the vendor.
Under their care, the car has been maintained by marque expert John Pogson at his Italia Autosport concern near Huddersfield.
It has recently undergone a service, belt change, refresh of the steering rack, and paint correction ahead of the big auction.
The Ferrari also underwent a fresh MoT in May and currently displays 14,899 miles.
Beyond its famous history, this F355 is even more desirable due to its rare specification of a manual gearbox with sports seats.

The car will be joined by a 1961 Lotus Elite Series 2, which was first owned by the founder of Honda Motor Corporation, Soichiro Honda, along with a total of 64 other vehicles.
The competition offering is led by a dramatic 2007 Creation CA07 LMP1 two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans veteran that will be offered entirely without reserve.
Other vehicles up for sale include a 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso, a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, and a 1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza Recreation.

Roger Moore's favourite Bond car is currently being auctioned... and it's NOT an Aston Martin

There are plenty of iconic Bond cars. The Aston Martin DB5 from too many films in the franchise to list, the Lotus Esprit-turned submarine from The Spy Who Loved Me, and the Renault 11 taxi that has its roof lopped off in A View To A Kill. But none of these - or any other Aston Martin used in a 007 flick - was named by Roger Moore as most loved Bond car of all time. Instead, the one he said was his all-time favourite was the Citroen 2XV from the great chase scene in For Your Eyes Only (1981). And one of the motors used in the all-action sequence is currently available at auction after it was rescued from a Paris scrapyard. It is the only 2CV from the movie to ever be offered for sale at auction, despite being one of six cars trashed by the film crew to capture the seven-minute chase with Hector Gonzalez's men giving chase in a pair of Peugeot 504s through the outskirts of Madrid, Spain. The month-long online auction is already running at up to $120,000 (£89,000), though the Dallas-based company overseeing its sale is hoping for it to reach half a million dollars (around £370,000) by the time it ends on 17 July. It is the only 2CV from the movie to ever be offered for sale at auction, despite being one of six cars trashed by the film crew to capture the seven-minute chase scene The chase scene is remembered as one of the best Bond car sequences of all time. Moore jumps into the passenger seat of Melina Havelock's (Carole Bouquet) dinky Citroen to escape the fun fire of Gonzalez's heavies. To avoid a head-on collision with an oncoming coach in a small village, Havelock's evasive manoeuvre results in the 2CV rolling onto its roof. With the help of a few locals, 007 flips the little Citroen back onto its four wheels and takes to the wheel of the diminutive French city car before receiving a bump start. Out onto a snaking mountain road, the two Peugeots are in hot pursuit of the sun-colour Citroen, with one side-swiping Bond's 2CV into another barrel roll down the side of the pass, where it lands - partially crushed - on all fours before Bond puts it into reverse, driving backwards towards the next hairpin bend. After disposing of one of the pursing 504s, Bond goes off-road through olive groves, delivering the famous line: 'Love a drive in the country, don't you?', before leaping over the remaining Peugeot and its henchmen in the seemingly indestructible French motor. The scene shows the 2CV first rolling onto its roof in the village and then barrel rolling down the side of a mountain pass - but Bond still manages to keep driving. Six Citroens were used for the seven-minute sequence, with all of them sustaining heavy damage To capture the high-octane scene, all six specially converted 2CVs were battered. This particular car started out as the pristine vehicle used at the very beginning of the chase scene and - despite sustaining plenty of damage - was one of three that withstood the destruction. The production team customised three of the six cars for filming - though not all were the same. They were fitted with a more powerful Citroën GS 1,015cc engine not commercially available in a 2CV (which used a smaller 602cc powertrain), adapting and reinforcing the interior and giving them reproduction Spanish-style number plates with the vinyl lettering M-1026-A. A number plate made in England prior to filming was identifiable by small print on the plate which read 'TUCKERS BS AU 145'. Once filming was complete, the three modified 2CVs had very different journeys; one was sold to UK collector Nigel Wild; another was retained by Citroen for its private collection; and the third - this car - was sent to a vehicle recycling facility in Paris before it was recovered This car was used specifically for the driving shots with Moore and Bouquet, and so was not fitted with a roll cage as it would have been visible on camera. Years later when recalling the famous chase sequence, director John Glen said: 'I love that scene; it was the complete opposite of what one would expect, it's usually an Aston Martin, so I thought let's go the absolute opposite end of the spectrum with a Deux Chevaux.' When interviewed on BBC's Top Gear, Roger Moore proclaimed it to be his favourite Bond car and later wrote in his memoir: 'It was huge fun to drive down through olive groves in.' For Your Eyes Only was officially released on 26 June 1981 and was the 14th film in the Bond franchise While the scenes are set in Spain, the filming took place on the island of Corfu in September 1980. French precision stunt driver Rémy Julienne and his team handled the action shots using the other identical cars. Once filming was complete, the three modified cars had very different lives; one was sold to UK collector Nigel Wild; another retained by Citroen for its private collection; and the third - this car - was sent to a vehicle recycling facility in Paris. It was recovered by Philippe Wambergue, a collector and racer of Citroen cars, and acquired by the current owner in 2004. To ensure this was one of the genuine Bond cars, the owner had Nigel Wild inspect this 2CV at Citromobile - a Citroen car exhibition in The Netherlands - where the owner of one of the other Bond-driven vehicles confirmed its authenticity. As this 2CV was rescued from a scrapyard, it has been fitted with replacement but faithful period yellow doors and boot lid, yellow roof, and seats. Areas of yellow paint are peeling, and it shows signs of production wear to both the bodywork and interior. Heritage Auctions describes it as a 'prop car for display purposes only' and not a roadworthy vehicle. The winning bidder will be presented with a certificate of authenticity for the motor too. 'The wonderful thing about this car is that it is imbued with the daredevil spirit of Bond,' said Alastair McCrea, Heritage's director of entertainment & pop culture for the UK and Europe. 'The car chase is one of the most creative and imaginative action sequences of any Bond film, and it is easy to understand why Roger Moore favoured this car over some of the flashier models. 'Because the other surviving models from the film are in permanent homes, this will be the only opportunity to acquire one of the 2CVs that actually appeared on screen, and this is the one that had Roger Moore in it.' Heritage Auctions describes it as a 'prop car for display purposes only' and not a roadworthy vehicle. The winning bidder will be presented with a certificate of authenticity for the motor too Earlier this year, Citroen's global chief executive Thierry Koskas told This is Money that the 2CV could be reborn as a 21st century electric car. In an interview with us, he said it will have the key virtues which made the original 2CV such a favourite first time around: simplicity, daring, comfort through clever suspension designed to deal with rough roads, practicality, value for money and – important in the modern era – strong green credentials. Customers can expect to see a model on the market within two years - from 2027 - and other famous Citroen nameplates could also make a sensational return to the market, he indicated. 'We want some of our iconic models to further lift the Citroen brand,' he said. 'We have a fantastic heritage – including models like the DS and the 2CV.'

Could a BMW garage remotely trigger a fault just after my warranty expired?

I bought my BMW X1 in April 2022 so the three-year warranty has just expired. I had decided not to extend it, given the car had only done 23,000 miles, had full BMW servicing and sailed through its first MOT. However, within two months, a catalytic converter warning light came on. My BMW garage performed a remote diagnostic check and suggested a sensor failure as the cause. However, the cynical side of me wonders whether, if my garage can conduct a remote check, it could also have brought about the failure? – MC Dear MC, I feel as though this question warrants a reference to Hanlon's razor, a rule which states that one should never attribute to malice that which is more easily explained by incompetence. Or more accurately, in this case, simply a broken-down part. It's easy to see conspiracy when you think you're being taken for a ride, but in this case I reckon your cynical side is getting the better of you. True, it's theoretically possible that a manufacturer may have developed a system that would allow them to remotely generate faults in order to force you to take your car to their garage. In reality, though, we can be pretty certain no such system exists. For one thing, how would the manufacturer guarantee it would benefit? You might just as easily take your car elsewhere for repair work. For another, any such system's discovery would be catastrophic for the brand's reputation – after dieselgate, I'm confident most manufacturers aren't willing to risk their very existence simply to bring in a bit of extra aftersales revenue for their dealers. The fact of the matter is that cars go wrong sometimes. And, sometimes, they go wrong just after the warranty has expired (the result of another rule: sod's law). Fortunately, your car has been serviced by a main dealer so you have a good chance of getting some of the cost of the repair covered by BMW. I suggest asking the dealer to contact BMW and request a gesture of goodwill – or take it up with BMW customer support yourself – given that the warranty has only just expired. The chances are you will get some money off the cost of the repair.
