A souped-up Rolls-Royce owned by an Indian Maharajah has gone on sale for a staggering £850,000.

The super car, with the number plate 'Cexi', is the only one of its kind in the world.

Customised from a 2005 Rolls-Royce, the four-seater Phantom DC Concept was designed by its wealthy mystery owner including gull-wing doors.

No expense appears to have been spared on the car, which can reach speeds of 130mph and does around 14 miles to the gallon.

It is decked out in chrome, flashy red leather, walnut dash, DVD screens and 22-inch alloy wheels.
