A replica Ferrari created for classic teen movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off is set to clock up £40,000 when it goes under the hammer.

The glamorous red car was made for the hit 1986 flick starring Matthew Broderick as a youngster who decides to bunk off school and have a day of fun.

The comedy follows Ferris and his pals as they borrow the replica Ferrari 250GT Spyder California from one of their fathers.

The film grossed more than $70 million in the US.

Existing examples of the car are "very rare and expensive" so Paramount chose to commission and build a replica for filming purposes, auction house Bonhams said.

Only around 100 genuine 250GT Spyder Californias were created by Ferrari between 1958 and 1963.

The car, tipped to fetch £30,000 to £40,000, is described as "ready to drive".
