She may not be able to drive for another 15 years, but 14-month-old Sorella Stoute has already picked the car she wants.

The Portland toddler managed to successfully bid for a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite on eBay after playing with her father’s smartphone last month.

The first her father knew of her secret shopping spree was when he received an email from eBay congratulating him on the winning $225 bid.

‘She decided to open the eBay app, and started clicking around and one thing led to another and we own a car,’  Paul Stoute told KOIN News.

At first, the Oregon couple were not sure whether they could afford to take on the car, which needs a lot of work.

However, they have decided to keep it and Mr Stoute plans to do it up in time for Sorella’s high school graduation or 16th birthday.

Since the toddler’s shopping spree, her parents have added security codes and other locks on their phones.

‘I’m just glad she didn’t buy the $38,000 Porsche I was looking at,’ Mr Stoute said.
