Diana Dors’s sports car has fetched nearly £2 million at auction.
The one-off 1949 Delahaye Roadster was given to Dors - dubbed the British Marilyn Monroe - when she was 17.
RM Auctions, who sold the vehicle, described the stunning car as ”extravagant and outrageous - a rolling sculpture”.
The 20ft long light blue car has a four and a half litre straight six engine, which puts out 165bhp, but has only covered a few miles after being restored.
On Saturday a mystery buyer £1.9 million at an auction in Monterey, California.
