It's often said they don't make them like they used to.

But that well-worn cliché would appear to hold true when you consider a 103-year-old Rolls-Royce - in perfect working condition - sold for £400,000 at auction today.

The made-to-order Light 20hp Tourer, one of just 19 manufactured, first hit the road in 1906.

Only two survive today - the other 17 failed to make it past the Second World War.

Bidding started at £100,000 and quickly reached £400,000.
