Cunning Rowan Atkinson is expected to turn a quick profit when he sells his two-year-old Land Rover for more than he paid for it.
The Mr Bean star spent around £30,000 on the special edition Defender new but is now set to pocket £45,000 after putting it up for auction.
This isn't the first time Atkinson has shown shrewd business acumen - in 2015 he sold his £640,000 1997 McLaren F1 for a whopping £8million.
Now he is offering up the Land Rover shown here, which was launched to mark the end of the Defender's 67 year production run.
The self-confessed car nut couldn't resist the opportunity to purchase a piece of Land Rover memorabilia, which is one of only 400.
