It may not be Mr Bean's iconic Mini, but comedy legend Rowan Atkinson is putting another small car up for auction.

The well known petrolhead is offering a 1989 Peugeot 205 1.6 GTi for sale - and it could fetch up to £20,000.

The motor was bought by the Blackadder star three years ago, after which 300 miles were covered in his ownership.

Classic Car Auctions say: "The 205 GTi has always been one of the defining 'Hot Hatches' of the 1980s and 1990s and held in high regard, although it's becoming increasingly hard to find one in such good order, even more so with celebrity provenance."

Although offered without reserve in the 28 September sale at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire , CCA add it could achieve "£15,000 - £20,000, but given its provenance it's anybody's guess."
