A 1969 Fiat 500L – whose owner stored it in his living room beside the TV – has gone on sale reports the BBC.

The vintage car was imported from Italy and still has its original number plate and picnic basket attached to the rear.

The model ended up in the hands of a classic car collector in the UK but is now on sale for £9,995 at a second-hand showroom in Harlow.

Showroom owner Rob Holmes said the car had received more attention than a Ferrari 575 that was parked next to it.
