A car which has been converted to look like a dog is up for sale and it could be yours for just £4000.

The 2011 Nissan Micra which has been professionally covered in Astroturf is on the market after a new Plymouth car dealership has opened in the city.

Platinum Car Centre, in Christian Mill Business Park required the tail-wagging motor which makes dog noises and ‘attracts a lot of attention’ during its takeover of the previous car garage.

Dealership owner, James Alford told The Herald: “It only got about 14,000 on the clock and it drives really well.

“I only took the garage over two weeks ago and it was left as part of the takeover.

“I put it up on Facebook and it’s had a lot of attention, within 24 hours the post had over 700 comments.

“It’s certainly got people talking.”

James believes it cost around £5000 for the vehicle to be covered and made to look like a pooch.

The car is cleaned with specialised cleaner and water to keep the Astroturf looking new.

It’s been adapted slightly, so it can make woofing noises - and the back windscreen wiper has been made into a tail.

The inside of the car is completely normal and hasn’t been altered in anyway.

James and his team of three others are selling the car with finance options available – a six month warranty, 12 month breakdown cover and MOT will also be included.
