A 1964 Ferrari once owned by Richard Allen, chairman of Allen Ford, has been donated to the East Anglia Air Ambulance Service.

The sale of the car is set to raise an estimated half a million pounds for a new hangar, reports The Telegraph.

The 1964 Ferrari 330GT (pictured) is a specially-commissioned Nembo Spyder.

Allen raced Ferraris in the 1980s. He died in November.

The car will go on sale at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford on March 29.
