An upcoming car auction is a boy or girl racer's Christmas dream as it features nine classic "Fast Fords".

The line-up features the dream vehicles of many motoring fans, ranging from a 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo to an iconic 1967 Mustang.

Maybe top of the motorhead's wish list will be a 1973 Ford Capri RS3100, estimated to sell for £54,000 - £64,000.

The rare model is presented in Olympic Blue and was the specific example used to be immortalised as a Corgi toy car.

Another eye-catching highlight is a striking green 1974 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, estimated at £25,000 - £30,000.

While the iconic 1967 Ford Mustang 289 Hi-Po Coupe in Acapulco Blue comes with a guide price of £25,000 - £30,000.
