A Rolls-Royce which belonged to Sir Jimmy Savile is going up for auction later this month to raise money for charity.
Sir Jimmy's 2002 Corniche is number 46 of the 56 'Last of Line' models, built to commemorate the end of 56 years of production at the company's Crewe factory. Painted in silver with a cream leather interior, the Corniche is expected to fetch between £60,000 and £90,000.
Also up for grabs will be the Top of the Pops presenter's BMW Isetta 300 Plus. The yellow bubble car has had a full restoration and comes complete with an orange warning light which Savile had fitted to the roof after he nearly got flattened by a lorry driver who failed to see him. The Isetta also has a Royal connection -- apparently Sir Jimmy once gave a lift to the Duke of Edinburgh in it. It is expected to go for between £5k and £8k.
In accordance with Sir Jimmy's wishes, all of the proceeds from the auction go to the Sir Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust. The auction will be held at Saviles Hall Leeds on 30th July.
