The 1958 4x4 is from the Brezhnev era of the Soviet Union and is currently running as a two-wheel drive, but includes the canvas roof and frame.

‘We’ve got a remarkably wide variety of cars up for auction, from classic cars to more modern cars, tractors, motorbikes and mopeds and a Russian military vehicle,’ said Martel Maides auctioneer Guy Cooper.

‘It should be busy, it’s been busy on viewing so far.

‘Anyone can register on the day, we’ll be taking bids in person and online, there have already been some online bids.’

The auction begins at 10am on Saturday on the lawn at Sausmarez Manor.
