A curvy car for a curvy star, as Diana Dors' light blue sports car goes up for auction in California.
The blonde bombshell's 1949 Delahaye Type 175 S Roadster, to be precise. Only 51 of this special car were ever made, with production on a small scale.
Bought for the actress when she was just 17 and didn't even have a licence, for £5,000. A lot of money back in the late forties, but it will set its buyer back a lot more when the auctions gets under way on the 14th August in Monterey in California.
RM Auctions setting an estimate of between $4 and $6 million for what is probably the French car maker's most extravagant post-war design.
The car has a racing pedigree, winning a number of high-profile races, before languishing in Colorado in the US in the 1970s.
Its owner had enough of its racing spec engine and replaced it with one from a much less glamorous Oldsmobile, leaving engine and roadstar estranged for almost thirty years.
The car and its power finally reunited just months ago.
This roadster was not enough for the up-and-coming starlet, with Diana Dors becoming the youngest owner of a Rolls Royce at the age of 20.
