A vintage Rolls-Royce that starred in 60s award winning film ‘Blow Up’ heads under the hammer for £230,000.

This classic 1965 Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupe was the motoring star of the movie.

The 1966 film which won the Palme d’Or – the highest prize a director can win at the Cannes Film Festival.

The movie which was directed by Michelangelo Antonioni focuses on a photographer who believes he has captured a murder whilst taking pictures of a model in a park.

The vehicle was originally ordered by disgraced Jimmy Savile.

However, the former DJ didn’t ever drive it, it is understood.

The film’s co-producer Pierre Rouve is believed to have been the first owner.

The Rolls-Royce is kitted out with a 6.2-litre V8 engine and has an impressive top speed of 115mph.

A spokesperson for H&H Classics, stated: “Any Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Mulliner Park Ward Drophead Coupe is a special car but only chassis SHS349C can claim to have had such an important role in a 1960s’ cinematic masterpiece.

“Owned by one of the film’s co-producers, Pierre Rouve, at the time, the four-seater was filmed being driven through a cornucopia of London’s streets – showcasing everything from squalor to splendour – by Thomas, the main protagonist.

“Reputedly modelled on David Bailey and Terence Donovan, the lead character accidentally photographs what may or may not be evidence of a murder prompting all manner of angst.

“Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, ‘Blow Up’ garnered two Oscar nominations and won the Palme d’Or at the 1967 Cannes International Festival.”

They added: “The order for chassis SHS349C was originally placed by the infamous disc jockey Jimmy Savile.

“However, it seems uncertain that he ever sat behind the wheel.”
