An Aston Martin once owned by comedy legend Rowan Atkinson - who spent years behind the wheel of a yellow mini as Mr Bean - has emerged for sale.
Atkinson purchased this V8 Vantage in 1984 after his career took off following the booming success of The Black Adder, the first series of the iconic sitcom.
The Olivier Award and BAFTA winning performer is said to have been drawn to the British marque as its models are 'more discreet' than flashy Ferraris.
Bonhams auctioneer are selling the V8 from the Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell, Bucks, on May 13.
