The premium saloon is capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds, 0-100mph in 15.2 seconds and on to an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph.

It’s got almost 80,000 miles on the clock and comes fitted with satellite-navigation, electric heated sports seats, Xenon headlights, foglights, CD auto-changer, iPod connectivity and stereo system – ideal for blasting out My Generation.

The Who formed in 1964 and comprised of vocalist Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon.

They became known for their energetic live performances, which often involved destroying their instruments on stage.

In 2007, Roger Daltrey’s ultra-rare 1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GTS and Pete Townshend’s Ferrari 550 Maranello both appeared for sale on Auto Trader.

Roger Daltrey’s Mercedes C43 AMG is advertised for sale by RW Bennett, for £8,995.
