The 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB is being auctioned at RM Sotheby.

The flashy car is bursting with 60s charm.

With a sleek black interior and long-nose steel bodywork, this car has a long and star-studded history.

The motor once belonged to well-known French screenwriter, film director and producer, Roger Vadim Plemiannikov.

Roger was famous for his erotic-themed  movies such as the 1968 science fiction sex comedy Barbarella, which starred his wife Jane Fonda.

He purchased it in 1966, with the director later transferring the documentation to Jane.

The pair kept their 275 GTB for about two and a half years and during this time, they were photographed with the car frequently.

The 275 GTB was returned that same year to Franco-Britannic Autos from where it was sold to its future owners.

A listing for the Ferrari reads: “In the last five years, this car was subject to a full restoration seeking to bring the car back to its original colour scheme.

“The car received Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that it retains its original chassis, engine, and gearbox.
