Prestige car insurers - Prestigecarinsurance.com - Quality Car Insurance - ask you this. Who can forget the lovely sail boat/yacht in the timeless 1980's commissioned Duran Duran promotional video for the International Boat Show - ' Rio '? Or, casually enquire the prestige car insurers - Prestigecarinsurance.com - the futuristically PC-executed airliner used in Britney's soft-porn stand first 'Toxic' show reel? (that glamorised her astonishing singing ability and prestige car insurer - Prestigecarinsurance.com - bet the majority of you marvelled at the train used in the w**k-rock video spectacular for the w**k-rock hair 'n'spandex-fest that was the killer Queen single "Breakthru"? I could go on. That said who can muster up the strength required to recall the 1985 Bentley Continental convertible that formed one of the centrepieces to the hit song 'Nikita' - written and performed by none other than fame-ravaged flower-obsessor, and vocally-honest scalp-stitcher - Reginald Kenneth Dwight?
As succinctly example-ised above, music and transport have been inexplicably joined at the hip over the years. It's with this I bring you news that one such prop has come up for auction. Sir Elton of John's unsurprisingly flamboyant motoring pestilence is to be auctioned off to the highest/most tasteless bidder in the big smoke some time this week. H+H Classic Auctions are the firm taking their corporate wedge from the sale of the Great Dame of Pop's automobilic hound, for the second time of asking; seeing as they accepted their commission initially in 2002 when they off-loaded it onto the current, clueless registered owner of a piece of recording industry history. Syon Park in London is the venue if you're devoid of occupation, yet buoyed by spondulees come May 24 th. And you'll need to be laden in the cash department as its reserve is set at roughly £44,000. So what does a collector of expensive bric-a-brac get for their knack of spotting a bargain? Well, Sir Elt's name on the log book for starters, which must be worth a good chunk of the estimated price. And a body specially crafted by Mulliner Park Ward, a coachbuilder who I gather are/were the Harrod's of chassis-modellers. Not to mention a host of unique features that would bring a glimmer of sunshine to the most professional of pessimists. Colour-coded radiator veins, parchment trim piped in red, and extra speakers that filter the music emitting from a 10-disc, boot-mounted CD player. (so you can uneasily experience 'the John' as if he's right behind you!)
