Savile’s Rolls sells for £130k

A Rolls-Royce belonging to the late Jimmy Savile has sold for £130,000 (€106,000) at an auction of thousands of his mementoes and personal belongings.

The car, which he called ‘The Beast’ and still has his personalised JS 247 licence plate, is expected to be the highest priced single item at the sale in Leeds.

It was bought by an internet buyer as hundreds packed Savile Hall in the Royal Armouries complex.
