One of the world's cheapest cars has been transformed into its most expensive - after being encrusted in gold jewellery.

The special version of the Tata Nano unveiled in the Indian city of Mumbai is covered in 80 kilograms of 22 carat gold, 15 kilograms of silver and assorted gemstones


The revamp increases the car's value from its standard price of around £1,300 - to an estimated £2.9m.
