The late Princess Diana's Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1 has fetched a whopping $1.2 million at an auction held at Britain's Silverstone racing circuit.
The Ford Escort was owned by the late Diana between 1985 and 1988 and was often seen driving around Chelsea and Kensington.
Diana clocked up a total of 11,000 kilometres on it before returning it to Ford.
The RS Turbo Series 1 was usually made in white but the royal family police guard had requested for Diana's to be painted black for discretion purposes.
Tomorrow marks the 25th death anniversary of the late Princess of Wales.
