Volo Auto Museum to auction Princess Di's ride

VOLO – The Volo Auto Museum is auctioning off some of its most prized automobiles Friday to make room for new exhibits.

Museum officials plan to sell the 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II that Prince Charles and Princess Diana rode in during the princess’ first visit to the United States in 1985. It will be sold in a no-reserve auction Friday on eBay along with Jon Bon Jovi’s 2003 BMW 745 LI, Groucho Marx’s 1973 Cadillac DeVille, and a selection of other celebrity and movie cars.

The highlight of the collection is the silver limousine, which was once valued at $2 million, but is expected to sell for about $150,000, said Brian Grams, director of the Volo Auto Museum.
