A automobile that previously belonged to Princess Diana fetched £650,000 at auction.Diana operated a black Ford Escort from August 23, 1985, until May 1, 1988. On Saturday, Silverstone Auctions put the car up for auction.
She was seen operating the RS Turbo Series 1 in front of Kensington's eateries and Chelsea's upscale boutiques.
With a member of the Royalty Protection Command (SO14) in the backseat, Diana liked to drive her own vehicle.
In contrast to the only-white manufactured model, it is thought to be unique as the first and only black RS Turbo Series 1, as agreed upon by S014 and the Ford PR department for reasons of confidentiality.
The special vehicle engineering division of the Ford plant was charged with providing the car, and it installed a standard five-slat front grille to help with the "stealth makeover."The glove box included a radio and a second rearview mirror for the protection officer, with the connection still attached.Only 24,961 miles have been logged on the vehicle.
The late Diana, Princess of Wales was obviously a lover of the RS Turbo, according to Arwel Richards, a historic automobile specialist at Silverstone Auctions.
The decision made by the future queen's daughter-in-law, the future king's mother, and the earl's daughter was fascinating.
Isn't it interesting how the Escort RS Turbo came to be associated with the white stilettos of Essex but had the most beautiful woman on Earth as its first champion
another Ford Escort driven by Diana was sold at auction for £52,000 in June 2021.
