A dust-covered Ford Sierra Cosworth that was parked in a barn 31 years ago by its 'playboy' owner has sold for £60,000.

The late owner of the classic 'Boy Racer' motor, a charismatic second hand car dealer named Tony, drove it around his hometown for five years, apparently impressing 'the ladies' with it.

But he became disheartened after a botched attempt to steal the flash car in 1991 left it damaged.

He put the 1986 RS Cosworth into storage where it remained in time-capsule condition for the next three decades.
