Dramatic pictures show a Mini Cooper engulfed in flames on a residential street.
The car was caught in a huge blaze on Rose Hill, Oxford, at around 8pm on Monday (23 February).
Images captured by shocked neighbours on Courtland Road show the moment the small hatchback became ravaged by the fire.
Firefighters were pictured putting out the fire before the flames cleared and revealed a burnt shell of a car.
It is not yet known whether the fire was started deliberately.
Samantha Ashley-Morgan, who captured the photos, said it was a “shocking experience”.
She said: “The fire brigade came very quickly and put the fire out within minutes.
“My neighbours’ window cracked due to the heat.
“Luckily the wind was in the other direction otherwise it could have been my home in flames too.
“Thank goodness nobody was hurt.”
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue service said the 999 call came in at 8.24pm and sent two fire engines from Oxford to tackle the fire.
A spokesman added: “We were called to a well developed car fire. Crews reacted swiftly and extinguished the fire using hose reel jets and breathing apparatus.”
