A LEGENDARY Ferrari owned by Eric Clapton and a playboy Lord is set to go for £500,000 at auction.
The classic 1970 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' Berlinetta, formerly owned by Lord Hesketh, is up for sale at Bonhams Cars.
The Daytona was built in Modena by Ferrari subsidiary Scaglietti only 3 years after Ferraris' clean sweep at the American racing track in 1967.
It's currently up for auction at a Bonhams sale on December 15 and is estimated to go for between £450,000 and £550,000.
The car has the beautiful 'long bonnet, small cabin, short tail' look and has only traveled 11,880 miles since it was restored in 1989.

The lifetime mileage is understood to be under 50,000 miles.
What makes this model special it is an early 'plexiglass' model which is highly sought after by collectors.
The Daytona has an interesting history after it was ordered by a man from Essex in 1970 before being quickly bought by a Scot.
After turning 21, Lord Alexander Hesketh bought the car in 1972 and owned the car for the next decade, becoming part of his playboy reputation.
It then lived in Japan for a while, before the restoration back in Southampton.
Eric Clapton then bought the car in 1990 and kept it as part of his Ferrari collection for another decade.
"At the time of its introduction in 1968 the Daytona was the most expensive production Ferrari ever and, with a top speed in excess of 170mph," Bonhams says.
It was also the world's fastest production car.
The car is on the correct 7½" Cromodora five-spoke alloy wheels, which are shod with Michelin XWX tyres
Inside the cabin, there is a leather-trimmed Momo three-spoke steering wheel, Veglia Borletti instrumentation, and electric windows.
