Pink Panther car set for auction
Memorabilia collectors from across the world are gearing up to make a bid for the original Pink Panther car.
The custom-made limousine was the first car of its kind to be produced and will be up for auction on July 14.
It was built in 1969 by legendary Californian custom car maker Jay Ohberg and it is thought it could fetch up to £80,000 pounds.
Auctioneer Chris Routledge said: We're expecting the car to fetch somewhere in the region of £75,000 to £80,000. There has been interest on the car from all over the world. We've had collectors in America, Europe and Japan.
He added: "The car is so iconic everybody remembers the Pink Panther car and an awful lot of people want to own it."
Admiring crowds were able to catch a pre-auction glimpse at the car which has been on display at the West End Live 2007 event in London's Leicester square.
