The price could be right when Sir Bruce Forsyth's vintage Rolls-Royce goes up for auction.

The late TV star's 1971 Corniche Convertible will go under the hammer later this month with an estimate of between £50,000 and £60,000.

The prestige model was first delivered to Brucie in July 1971 and subsequently owned by him for the next seven years.

Described as Ming Blue with a navy blue leather interior, the Rolls has only 39,719 miles on the clock.

Ashorne-based Classic Car Auctions (CCA) says: "If this beautifully elegant Rolls-Royce has even a smidgeon of Sir Bruce's warmth and bonhomie it will be a joy to own and drive.

"One can only hope that something of the much beloved entertainer permeates this car that once carried him daily.

"If this Rolls-Royce ends up sitting in your driveway you might well be quoting Sir Bruce's famous catchphrase when your eye falls on this beauty: 'Nice to see you, to see you … nice.'"
