The world's cheapest new car has been turned into one of the planet's most expensive after it was covered with £3 million worth of bling.
The Tata Nano, which normally sells for under £2,000, has been coated in gold, silver and gems in recognition of India's booming economy and 5,000 year-old jewellery trade.
Thirty artists were employed to decorate the tiny car in 80kg of 22 carat gold, 15kg of silver and 10,000 semi precious stones and gems.

Analysts blame the Nano's poor safety record as several incidents of the cars spontaneously bursting into flames were widely reported.
Its existing Nano customers were offered a safety upgrade to its electrical and exhaust systems.
But despite the problems the company announced on Monday it would invest £355 million in building a new engine plant at Jaguar Land Rover near Wolverhampton.

Less than two months later, he parted company with the Old Lady by "mutual consent," having been left frustrated by his employers' transfer strategy. Two years on, Conte is now back in the club game after a successful spell in charge of Italy and is working for a team bankrolled by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. But the former Bianconeri boss has quickly discovered that more money sometimes means more problems. Conte has been backed in the transfer market, w
