Sports car of icon Marilyn up at auction
A CLASSIC car owned by Marilyn Monroe is up for sale – and expected to fetch £380,000.
The Hollywood legend bought the black two-door Ford Thunderbird new in 1955 and drove in it with playwright Arthur Miller to their wedding in 1956.
The Some Like It Hot actress gave it away shortly before her death from an overdose in 1962.
The V8 convertible, which has a top speed of 113mph, goes under the hammer on November 17 in Los Angeles.
Auctioneer Darren Julien said: “This wonderful black Ford Thunderbird is not only part of the automotive history but comes with an aura of glamour, romance and tragedy of a true Hollywood legend.”
