A classic Lamborghini once owned by Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay is tipped to sell for £2.75million.
The Virtual Insanity star owned the red 1972 Miura P400 SV at the height of his chart fame.
The rare Lambo – dubbed the first supercar – was just one of 150 ever made.

The 177mph motor’s V12 engine allowed it to go from 0-60mph in just five seconds.
Kay, 54 – who boasts a vast car collection – brought it on BBC’s Top Gear in 2004.
The petrolhead took Richard Hammond for a spin in it.
The pop star then said on the show: “This car was so ahead of its time.
“It’s a wonderful, wonderful thing.”
Other proud owners of other Lamborghini Miuras included Frank Sinatra and Rod Stewart.
Kay’s old one is being sold by RM Sotheby’s, as reported by Need To Know.
The listing reads: “It is legend that ‘supercar’ – the title bestowed upon all of today’s highest-performance automobiles – was first applied in print to the Lamborghini Miura.
“By L.J.K. Setright in a 1967 Car story regarding his 1,000-mile drive of the new Miura from Modena to London.
“He never used the word, but he said it in more elegant prose: “The exultant whoop of a thoroughbred V12 is like nothing else in motoring. It is immediate, urgent, peremptory.
“The Lambo idles at about 800 rpm and a gentle blip up to 2,000 produced a sort of instant quickening of everybody in the square, like a WO calling parade to attention.
“It might develop 87.5bhp per litre, but from ridiculously low revs it would pull as smoothly and inexorably as a Silver Ghost.
“Clearly this was going to be an astonishing motor car.”
It adds: “In the early 1990s the car was purchased by a collector in Hong Kong, who commissioned the Modena Group to complete a full restoration.
“Afterward the car passed to the noted musician and vintage performance car collector, Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, and in his ownership was featured in a 2004 episode of Top Gear.
“Jay Kay drove the car for the cameras, commenting, “It’s a wonderful, wonderful thing.”
“Soon thereafter it was acquired from him by the well-known British collector Michael Cotter.”
The auction takes place in Toronto, Canada on 1 June.
