A car used by Diana, Princess of Wales is going under the hammer at auction on Thursday (August 27). The black Ford Escort RS Turbo was driven by Diana from August 23, 1985 to May 1, 1988 and is expected to fetch a six-figure sum.
Diana was previously pictured with the RS Turbo Series 1 outside the boutique shops of Chelsea and the restaurants of Kensington. Diana preferred to drive her own car and had a member of the Royalty Protection Command (SO14) in the passenger seat. The car is believed to be unique as the first and only black RS Turbo Series 1, as agreed by S014 and the Ford PR department for reasons of discretion, instead of the only-white manufactured model.
