The 'Gotta Be You' star has attracted bids around £50,000 for his sports car.

One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson has caused a bidding war on Ebay after he reportedly put his Porsche car up for auction.

The 'What Makes You Beautiful' singer has attracted bids in the region of £50,000 according to The Sun with some potential buyers looking to snap up the motor as a present for their daughters.

"One rich daddy got in touch saying he wanted to buy it for his daughter. He's had a private bid of £50k already," a source told the publication.

The starting bid is currently at £30,000 with seven days remaining on the auction.

The singer was recently spotted shopping in London where he spied over a copy of a book from fellow boy band The Wanted.

Bandmates Liam Payne and Niall Horan also surprised fans with an impromptu acoustic performance in Shepherd's Bush yesterday (2^nd August) afternoon when they were spotted busking in the Westfield shopping centre.

The group are also currently working on their new studio album and are up for a series of awards at this year's MTV VMAs including Best New Artist.

The group will also take to the stage at the Staples Center for a special performance on the night with Alicia Keys as the other confirmed performer.
