A CAR gifted by Sir Paul McCartney to his daughter Stella is to be sold off by a Vale auctioneer.

A Mercedes Benz 190E will go under the hammer at Littleton Auctions’ classic cars sale this weekend.

The car was gifted to fashion designer Stella for her 21st birthday and has been in her ownership ever since, racking up 43,000 miles.

Auctioneer, Ben Homer, said: “I’ve always had a love of classic cars so this sale is especially thrilling for me. 

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the interest and have had some fantastic items consigned to us.

“Stella McCartney’s Merc is already drawing attention but other lots exciting collectors are the VW Karmann Ghia and an example of the classic “Back to the Future” Car, a 1981 DeLorean.”

The auction takes place this Saturday, March 18, at Littleton Auctions on School Lane in Middle Littleton.

The Mercedes is estimated to sell for between £5,000 and £8,000.
