A ROLLS-ROYCE owned by famous frontman Freddie Mercury has smashed its original estimate at auction.
The 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was cherished by the singer who owned it for more than a decade from 1979 until his passing.
It sold as part of an RM Sotheby’s London Sale auction held on 7th November, exceeding its estimate by almost 10 times.
Experts had the Roller down to fetch as much as £30,000, but in the end, bidding stopped at a whopping £286,250.
Silver Shadows aren’t the most collectable Rolls-Royce models, but it’s clear that Freddie’s is a cut above the rest.
