A SUPER rare automobile built at an Oxfordshire factory is being auctioned.
The vintage car that is only one of five ‘Special Edition Classic’ (SEC) MGB – a two-door sports vehicle – was made by Abingdon Classic Car Company in 1980.
The online sale lead by classic car auctioneer The Market kicked-off today and will end next Thursday.

Auctioneer director Tristan Judge said: "The level of finish and quality of this car is nothing like any other MGB.
"This is more like an Aston Martin."
Mr Judge added that SEC vehicles hold a 'special place' in MGB history but that few people are aware of them.
He said: "With such small numbers made even less remain, which means one thing: rarity.
"This is a case of try to find another one, it is simply impossible, this is it."
The Market revealed the guide price starts at £28,000 to £40,000.
