The sale will take place at Sywell Aerodrome in May
A classic car similar to King Charles' beloved vintage Aston Martin is up for auction. The 1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Volante echoes the motor the Queen gifted to Prince Charles on his 21st birthday.
That car was also used by Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, on the evening of their wedding. The sale of the Mk2, once owned by a sheikh, is set to take place just after the King's coronation. The motor has a princely estimate of between £600,000 - £700,000 and interestingly, in tune with King Charles' eco-credentials, this Aston was previously fitted with an electric-powered engine as a showcase of the company's environmental development.
The car is now being sold with its original petrol engine and a current mileage of just under 54,000. Silverstone Auctions will hold the sale on May 20 at the Supercar Fest at Sywell Aerodrome near Northampton. The coronation of King Charles will take place on Saturday, May 6 at Westminster Abbey. It will be the first coronation of a British monarch in the 21st century and the 40th to be held at Westminster Abbey since 1066.READ NEXT:
