Pierre Novikoff, Artcurial's deputy director, told Bloomberg: "It is incredible. It has the smell of the '70s, it's like traveling in time.

"What people are looking for is to find again either their childhood memories or their childhood dreams."

It also features space for 14 passengers, making it much roomier than your average caravan. With only 23,000 miles on the clock it's likely to prove a solid investment.

It carries an estimate of $11,073-22,146 ahead of the sale.
