A vintage Mini, believed to be the first of its kind in the world, has emerged for sale online for an eye-watering £50,000.

The timeless white classic dates back to 1963 when it was the first Cooper S to leave the production line.

It's unbelievable past was only uncovered when current owner Robert Long tried to buy some new parts for his 57-year-old motor.

Mr Long, 67, bought the car three years ago from its previous owners - a racing company who had owned it since new.
