In November this year, car lovers will have the chance of owning these classic cars, along with Elton John’s Rolls-Royce Phantom.
According to Nick Whale, the M.D. of Silverstone Auctions, there will be a huge amount of interest in the cars on sale on November 12 and 13 in Birmingham. Whale said the cars have been cared for “wonderfully” over the years and said they are looking forward to finding new homes for the classic vehicles on the Silverstone Auctions' Classic Motor Show Sale.
The late Princess Diana’s 1994 Audi
Cabriolet is expected to particularly draw interest from around the globe. The
Princess of Diana reportedly drove around 4,000 miles in the green convertible
sports car, which is valued at around £50,000 (around $62,000). Princess Di was
occasionally photographed driving with Princes William and Harry in the car.

However, to add to the excitement
and keeping in the Royal theme, there is also the chance of purchasing Queen
Elizabeth II’s 2012 Bentley Mulsanne, which was a gift for Her Majesty’s Diamond
Jubilee tour of the U.K. The car is on sale for £235,000 ($292,000) and comes
complete with reinforced tires, armor protection and walnut-burr veneered
picnic tables for that enjoyable meal in the fresh air. Not to be outdone,
reportedly it is also possible to buy the Queen’s 2001 Daimler Supercharged V8
for around £60,000 ($75,000). Princess Margaret’s 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver
Wraith II is also on offer for around £110,000 ($137,000).
For something a little different
from royalty, there are several other famous cars on sale, including Elton John’s Rolls-Royce
Phantom from 2005, currently valued at around £155,000 ($193,000). If anyone is
interested, they can also buy the 1972 Fiat 500L bought by former British Prime
Minister David Cameron for his wife Samantha. That car is going for around £22,000
($27,400).

The fact these vehicles are for sale
does not mean the royal family, Cameron or the famous singer are short of cash,
however, as the full, 12-car collection is currently owned by a private
gentleman.
