Described as Ming Blue with a navy blue leather interior, the Rolls has only 39,719 miles on the clock.

Classic Car Auctions (CCA) say: ‘If this beautifully elegant Rolls-Royce has even a smidgeon of Sir Bruce’s warmth and bonhomie it will be a joy to own and drive.

‘One can only hope that something of the much beloved entertainer permeates this car that once carried him daily.
