Fans of Sir Elton John have the chance to get their hands on a unique piece of personal memorabilia as the Rocketman's car is auctioned.
The 1992 Bentley has a 6.75-litre V8 engine and has "unblemished looks", according to Car and Classic, which is auctioning off the luxury model.
Sir Elton John's 1992 Bentley Continental R up for auction
Sir Elton brought the Bentley in August 1992 via his management company, William A Bong Limited. After keeping it for four years, it was sold to its current owner, who has held on to it until now.
The car features a high-quality interior with leather applied to nearly all areas, while its factory-fitted alloy wheels are shod in new Michelin tyres.
It comes with paperwork showing Sir Elton John’s management company name and a factory service book "brimming" with stamps, according to Car and Classic.
Recent receipts cover all manner of repairs, such as window seals, the ignition switch and a door lock. In 2002, the gearbox was replaced under warranty, too.
Though photographed with the registration ’55 VV’, the Bentley will return to its original plate K93 UPE when sold.
The Continental R also incorporates a fully upgraded audio system, with 14 MB Quart speakers hidden around the cabin.
Behind a panel in the boot sit a trio of amplifiers that power the speakers, ensuring the best possible audio quality.
If you wanted to try and own Sir Elton's car, you can head to the auction today and place your bets.
The auction starts today (September 6) and will run until Tuesday, September 13.
