A 1994 Audi Quattro 2.5 convertible once owned by Diana, Princess of Wales is to be auctioned by Coys at Blenheim Palace in June. Currently on display at the Grange St. Paul’s Hotel in London, this Audi was the family car in which the princess was photographed in a number of occasions driving Their Royal Highnesses Prince William and Prince Harry in 1994.
According to Coys, L449 TRP is in “immaculate condition,” with only 33,000 km or so on the clock. The famed auction house is also planning a competition with Grange Hotel where the lucky winner will be driven in the car at the Blenheim auction and entertained to lunch before attending the auction.
“This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of royal history. We have put a guide price on the car of between £20k and 25k (RM92k-115k) but we have no idea what it will go for,” said Coys MD Chris Routledge, adding that there have already been enquiries from around the world and particularly from America.
Amongst the other wheels Lady Di was associated with were a red R129 Mercedes 500SL, Jaguar XJS, Ford Escort XR3i and even an Austin Metro. Also set to go under the hammer is HRH Prince Charles’ 1991 Bentley Turbo RL.
