Coys showbiz sale at Lords

Coys' Monday evening sale at the Lords cricket ground drew bidders for cars with some connection to celebrities past and present.

A 1967 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback, replicating the car used by Steve McQueen in the film Bullitt sold for more than twice its estimate at £53,726, showing a rise in interest for Americana.

A right hand drive 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL - formerly the property of broadcaster Chris Evans, sold for £32,346 and a 1986 Mercedes Benz 560E AMG formerly owned by George Harrison and Jeff Lynne of ELO sold for £12,000.

Rowan Atkinson's 1929 Austin 7 Ulster Replica complete with a genuine Ulster engine sold for £8,235.

A silver Aston Martin DB5 described as 'in immaculate condition' made only £163,800 though, which seemed a fairly modest result.
