Toy for boys

The present for the boy who has everything is finally here. A diamond-covered toy car manufactured by the toymaker Hot Wheels.

Valued at US$140,000 (£71,187) - a figure that would normally buy six family cars - the model is cast in 18-karat white gold and covered in blue, white and black diamonds. It has rubies set into its tail lights and even the car's case comes with 40 white diamonds.

The car will be auctioned later on this year with the money going to the American charity Big Brothers Big Sisters. Anyone with some money left over? It will be for a good cause.
