JOHN CLEESE – 1987 BENTLEY EIGHT, £2,50
You likely know him as Basil Fawlty of the popular hit TV Show Fawlty Towers. John Cleese is a celebrated actor well recognized for his passion for fancy and lavish vehicles. Cleese was particularly fond of his Bentley Eight, and he has an interesting way of passing on its ownership. Cleese hasn’t simply put the car up for sale, though it is on auction from a starting price of £2,500. No, Cleese has a bigger way of letting his beloved Bentley go!
John Cleese has decided to offer whoever buys the car a lunch with him. He also offers a handwritten story of the celebrity passengers who have ridden in the car, including Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis. In addition to that, he offers a signed photograph of the scene of him giving the red Austin 1300 a ‘thrashing’ in the show Fawlty Towers. Cleese describes the vehicle as to the “most beautiful car” he had ever had.
