Princess Diana Jaguar car fetches £6k
Published June 1st, 2007
A car once used to chauffeur Britain’s Princess Diana around fetched just £6,000 at auction yesterday (31.05.07).
The Jaguar Sovereign, a 1992 model in Westminster blue, went under the hammer along with 30 other vintage cars in the sale at Manchester’s Simon Charles Auctioneers.
The vehicle - made to order for Buckingham Palace - sold for a modest £6,100, well under the price expected by the auctioneers.
Mike Andrews, of the Tameside auction house, said: “The car was worth every penny. It went for a decent price, not over the top, but a decent price. With the royal connection we did expect it might go for a bit higher.
