Rock star cars set to go under the hammer

Two cars formerly owned by some of Britain's greatest stars are heading to auction in March. A 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL, once owned by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, and a 1995 BMW E38 750iL that used to belong to Status Quo's Francis Rossi.

The cars are going under the hammer at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show, under the custodianship of Classic Car Auctions (CCA). Both are described as being in excellent condition – the Mercedes scores 109 out of a possible 135 points, and the BMW an impressive 116.
