A car that was submerged on the Somerset Levels for nearly two months has been listed for sale on eBay.

An enduring image of the winter flooding in the region, the silver Seat Toledo had just been reunited with its owner on Thursday.

Hubert Zajaczkowski now says he plans to sell the vehicle and donate the money to charity.

The 21-year-old had been driving along a road near Muchelney on Christmas Eve when he was forced to abandon the car as water levels suddenly rose.

After it submerged under several feet of water he was forced to leave his car behind and it became a symbol of the flooding.

‘It was shocking, seeing my car on telly and in the international news. Everyone was talking about it, including the Prince of Wales.’

For anyone wishing to purchase a car that is listed as ‘used/not working’ there is a starting bid of £155 and the auction ends on Wednesday.
