A motor made from RAF helicopter parts is going under the hammer - but you'll need deep pockets if you're hoping to snap it up.

The Caterham Seven 360R was constructed using components from a retired Puma HC2 chopper that served in several war zones, moving soldiers, weapons and ammunition on the battlefield.

The unique car's body is finished in the same Nato Green as the Puma and its chassis is coloured Desert Sand in reference to the regions where the helicopter operated during the Gulf Wars.

The chopper's tail and doors have been transformed into aluminium body panels and  a rear bulkhead, while the aircraft's door jettison handle now sits in front of the rear wheels' arch.

A bespoke black dashboard features military grade switches which were originally designed for firing missiles.

The Puma's ammunition box, which once carried bullets, is now home to the car's battery, while the vehicle's door panels and carbon fibre seats are padded with the Puma's quilted soundproofing.

The car is projected to go under the hammer for £100,000. All proceeds will go to charities Mission Motorsport and the RAF Benevolent Fund to support injured servicemen and women.
