Ahead of the auction, The Market’s chief executive, Mark Livesey, said: “On one hand it’s a 1994 Jaguar, and on the other hand it’s actually an ex-royal car as used by the late Princess Diana.”<\/p>\n
He explained that the car had been used by the princess for about three years, up until her death in 1997, and that it had “played a role in some of her most famous moments”.<\/p>\n
“She was transported all around London and UK in it and famously popped out of it wearing the black revenge dress after Charles had made a confession to the media earlier that day,” he said.<\/p>\n
He said the history of the car “definitely makes it special”.<\/p>\n
“Whenever any of us actually meet or come close to a really famous person, you get a funny feeling,” he said.<\/p>\n
“To have, or even own, something that belonged to them, it definitely adds an enormous value.”<\/p>\n
The Jaguar was not the first celebrity vehicle sold by The Market – with George Michael’s Range Rover and Elvis Presley’s Cadillac also sold by the auction house in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of the auction, The Market’s chief executive, Mark Livesey, said: “On one hand it’s a 1994 Jaguar,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-629363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629363\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
