Cars belonging to two of Britain's comedy icons are going under the hammer in Stoneleigh this weekend.

Sporty models owned and driven by Peter Sellers and Rowan Atkinson are to be auctioned at a classic car sale at Stoneleigh Park on Saturday (February 25).

Mr Bean may be known for his green mini, but Rowan Atkinson loves fast sports cars in real life and the petrolhead performer's sporty 1993 Lancia HF Integrale Evo II is estimated to sell for up to £75,000.

The car had covered just over 87,000km when, back in May 2021, it was purchased by Atkinson.

A spokesperson for Silverstone Auctions says: "He has enjoyed many happy hours in the car, although the total mileage still remains below 90,000km, and the history file confirms recent money well spent on keeping the little Lancia in such fabulous condition."

Inspector Clouseau actor Peter Seller's 1966 Lotus Elan S3-SE was delivered to his Haymarket home in the year of its production.

According to Silverstone Auctions it was driven by him, with wife Britt Ekland in the passenger seat, until 1969.

The rare model, part of the Piddington Collection, is offered with a guide price of between £80,000 - £120,000.

Silverstone Auctions explained: "With zero miles since its superb restoration and over 60,000 miles from new, there is nothing to preclude using this 'almost new' S2 on a regular basis, or its next owner may choose to pop it into a private collection enjoying the Peter Sellers' provenance, however, we can't help but feel that a combination of the two might be best."

The Silverstone Auctions Sale will take place on 25 February at the Race Retro Show in Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.
