Cheeky chappie celebrity chef Jamie Owner is offering three classic cars at auction in Stoneleigh.

The 49-year-old will list an eye-catching collection that includes a Ford Capri, a VW Beetle and a Fiat.

The 1970 Ford Capri 3000GT is described by Jamie as his "go-to car", and made several appearances on the TV programme Jamie and Jimmy's Friday Night Feast.

Jamie took possession of the vehicle in June 2014 and restored it in line with its original specification at a cost of around £20,000. The car is estimated at £22,000 - £26,000.

The 1955 FIAT 1100/103 Series was bought by Oliver in 2012 and, fittingly, came with the original number plate 677 YUM. It is offered without reserve.

The 1967 VW Beetle 1500 convertible comes with a bespoke trailer modified to take an ice-cream fridge and condenser and designed to offer a platform for dispensing ice cream at events. Car and trailer are estimated at £22,000 - £26,000.
