A RARE 1964 Maserati Mistral Spyder that captured the heart of Diana Dors is set to fetch up to £550,000 at auction.
The famous British actress fell in love with the car when she saw it at the Earls Court Motor Show in October that year. Deciding she simply had to have it, Dors, frequently described as the “English Marilyn Monroe”, bought it off the Italian marque’s stand.
The flamboyant star obviously appreciated the finer things in life and featured in the news when she became the youngest person to own a Rolls-Royce, despite the fact that she was not even old enough to drive at the time.
