This is a bizarre exotic car story indeed…but leave it to recently deceased English media mogul Sir Jimmy Savile to make headlines posthumously! It seems that the English television personality/disc jockey/presenter had a special Range Rover renovation done, allowing it to actually be lived in, and is about to hit the luxury car auction block in February.

If you are a fan of both Mercedes-Benz luxury cars and the hit film ‘The Hangover’, the sleek 1965 220SE convertible used in the movie is purportedly up for grabs on eBay! There were about 5 cars used during filming, and this one is said to have suffered no crash scenes, just the rambunctious wolf pack. We would love to rent a Mercedes to these guys!

Publicity whore Charlie Sheen is at it again, although this time I approve…he is auctioning off his one-off 1966 Mustang convertible for charity. Do you like vintage cars? Rent a 1965 Shelby Cobra in Miami, our brand-new baby! We are partial–but feel it blows Sheen’s Stang out of the stable…even if his is doused with legendary tiger blood.

Because only 765 Lamborghini Miuras were created, it is not entirely shocking that one is set to hit the luxury car auction block for an estimated $1.38 million. But for that price, one could fetch 3 brand-new Lamborghini Gallardos or an endless supply of Lamborghini rentals!

Items created or owned by legendary pop artist Andy Warhol demand a price, as we will see again at Bonhams when his 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow hits the luxury car auction block! The understated brown Rolls Royce is expected to fetch an obscene amount, and will be in good company because the 1929 Rolls Royce Phantom owned by screen goddess Marlene Dietrich will also be hitting the block that very day!
Andy Warhol’s Rolls Royce is a rather muted brown, quite a contrast to his vivid artwork!

I guess alimony and child support for his newest addition must be a bitch…because Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider is for sale on eBay, with a current bid of $92,450.00 USD. Well, perhaps that was a rather calloused conclusion to draw…maybe he is just tired of the exotic sports car and ready for the new 458 Italia. One thing is for certain–when it comes to the Govenator, after the bad press passes, he will be back. Check out memorable Arnold montage video at bottom of post!
Hey Arnold, rent a Ferrari from Imagine Lifestyles Luxury Rentals anytime you are in New York, Miami, Chicago or LA, it would be an honor!
