Ewan McGregor's very own classic Volkswagen Beetle has been listed for sale on eBay and you could be the next owner.

The 1960 sunroof Beetle has spent years "baking in the hot Texas sun", which has resulted in its artfully sun-kissed finish.

Known for his roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars films and Renton in Trainspotting, is a self-confessed "Volkswagen nut".

He spotted pictures of the car being refurbished online and decided to buy it for himself. The actor had the classic motor shipped to Pennsylvania, where he was directing a film, so he could drive it to and from the set each day. Once the movie was finished, the car was then taken to his home in California.

The petrolhead has always had a love for Volkswagens and his first car was a lime green Beetle which he bought aged 16.

Just last year he launched an online search for his beloved 1987 car in which he posted a picture along with the caption:

"I'd washed dishes for two years and saved the £500 she cost.

"It seems she's gone now, old ESL380V, I can't find her. If you ever come across her let me know, cheers."

Why is the Hollywood star selling his one of a kind Beetle?

The advertisement suggested he is selling his loved Volkswagen to make room in his garage for “a new four-wheel toy.”

With five days of the auction left, the highest bid is currently $19,100 (around £13,500) and has had 38 offers placed so far.
