ECCLESTONE AUCTIONS OFF PRIVATE CAR COLLECTION

We're not sure why. It's not as if he's skint...
F1 overlord and master, Bernie Ecclestone, is selling 50 of the rarest cars in the world from his private car collection.
The expansive selection includes a 1964 Ford Anglia, a 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing and a 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster worth £3.25million.
A spokesman for RM Auctions, which is handling the sales taking place in October commented: “The collection, built up over decades of careful acquisition, is composed of a variety if automobiles that represent many marques and eras. This auction marks what will
be the first and only public exhibition of the Ecclestone Collection.”
Pundits have been curious of the sale, which is expected to make at least £15million, since he hardly needs to expand on his £3billion fortune.
Bernie’s biographer, Terry Lovell, revealed: “He is 77 in October and perhaps he believes it’s time to tidy up some of his private assets.”

The 540K Special Roadster. It's worth about £3.25million now.
