The price could be right when Sir Bruce Forsyth's vintage Rolls-Royce goes up for auction.

The late TV star's 1971 Corniche Convertible will go under the hammer later this month with an estimate of between £50,000 and £60,000.

The prestige model was first delivered to Brucie in July 1971 and subsequently owned by him for the next seven years.

Described as Ming Blue with a navy blue leather interior, the Rolls has only 39,719 miles on the clock.

Ashorne-based Classic Car Auctions (CCA) says: "If this beautifully elegant Rolls-Royce has even a smidgeon of Sir Bruce's warmth and bonhomie it will be a joy to own and drive.

"One can only hope that something of the much beloved entertainer permeates this car that once carried him daily.

"If this Rolls-Royce ends up sitting in your driveway you might well be quoting Sir Bruce's famous catchphrase when your eye falls on this beauty: 'Nice to see you, to see you … nice.'"

Sir Bruce Forsyth's career spanned more than 70 years, with highlights including TV shows The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and Strictly Come Dancing. He passed away in 2017 at the age of 89.

The CCA Summer sale takes place at the Warwickshire Events Centre, near Leamington Spa on Saturday 17 June.
