STINGS LIKE A BEE

Previewed in the last issue, the ex-muhammad Ali Rolls-royce Silver Shadow Convertible became ‘The Beaut in Zoute’ at Bonhams’ sale in the fashionable Belgian coastal resort. Sold with all the right documentation and period photos with the sporting legend, the Rolls blitzed its pre-sale estimate of €40-60k to sell for €132,250 (£116,600) all-in. That’s around double what the best example might achieve on a good day without the superstar connection.
