Celebrity car ownership is always a slightly awkward subject. Vendors may proclaim that because of so and so's brief tenure, the car they have for sale is worth more. Or they may have a car once owned by a notable, admired celebrity but said vehicle could very well be something nobody wants to own.
Coys sell great cars, take bad photos
Here we may have the perfect combination of superb car and damn cool celebrity ownership. This
Ferrari Dino
once belonged to Keith Richards, in fact he bought the car new in 1972 and owned it for 14 years. He covered 25,000 miles in that time, originally in the US and then in the UK from 1975.
Amazingly, the Dino has only covered another 3,000 miles since Richards sold it in 1986, spending most of that time in a Japanese collection. It will be sold with a letter from Rolling Stones' manager Allan Dunn confirming Richards' ownership.
The Dino goes to Coys Monaco auction without reserve. For reference, those that aren't on POA in the PH Classifieds are around the £250,000 mark, which you would have to assume this car will exceed. Other highlights from the lot list? A Tazio Nuvolari Cisitalia, a Citroen DS Decapotable, one lovely Maserati Indy and a very cool Abarth recovery truck.
