Title: Jimmy Savile's bubble car and Rolls to be auctioned
Post by: Rusty Chrome (Malcolm Parker) on July 17, 2012, 07:23:54 pm
Hows about this then for those that missed out on bargains at Coys. It doesn't say whether the Rolls are ham or cheese.

Interesting....... I would imagine items will exceed the guide prices as lots of folks would like to have a memento of the late Jimmy Savile. I can see his yellow Isetta fetching well in excess of £8k.

It will be interesting, especially after the Coys auction.
