A BMW owned by former Formula 1 maestro Martin Brundle has gone on sale to the buying public.

The 1988 World Sportscar Champion, who won the 1990 Le Mans 24-hour race for Jaguar, has put his BMW M5 up for sale for £12,750, Auto Trader reports.

Offering 400 horsepower, the eight-valve model - which has clocked up 87,000 miles - has a six-speed gearbox and 18-inch rear wheels, as well as a five-litre engine.

Despite being a family saloon, the car can go from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 155 mph.

If the restrictor is removed, the model is capable of achieving speeds in excess of 180 mph.

Since his departure from the driving seat, the 48-year-old has taken to the commentary box, and this year celebrates his 11th year in the role.
