Wogan's Bentley up for sale at Brightwells car auction
More than 100 classic cars, including Terry Wogan’s Bentley, are due to go under the hammer next Saturday, December 12th, at Brightwells classic car auction in Leominster. Another vehicle with a claim to fame due to be sold at the sale is a Rover driven by actress Penelope Keith in the final episode of a TV series, Coming Home.
The Leominster classic car auction has given the Penelope Keith Rover a guide price of £3,000, whilst Sir Terry’s 1984 Bentley has an estimated price double that of Rover, standing at £6,000.
Car expert, James Dennison, at Brightwell’s auction says he has reason to believe that Wogan’s Bentley will have been well looked after and not driven recklessly after seeing the Radio 2 presenter’s performance on Top Gear. On the BBC show during the segment “star in a reasonably priced car” Sir Terry clocked up one of the slowest circuits ever recorded on the show, as Mr Dennison said, “His time was even beaten by a blind man, so it’s safe to assume the Bentley has never been thrashed.”
Other special classic cars up for sale at this weeks auction include a 1994 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet, a 1903 Oldsmobile and a 1955 Jaguar XK140 Roadster reportedly owned by Lord Colin Cowdrey.
