LUXURY from a bygone era will be up for sale when a Rolls-Royce Sedanca De Ville 20/25 goes under the hammer.

"It is a rare chance to acquire a genuine piece of automotive history and a sound financial investment."
It will be sold at a fine art sale, on March 22 and 23, at the auction rooms in Heage Lane, Etwall.
