Top Gear presenter Chris Evans to flog 13 classics

The Radio presenter and bona fide car nut is flogging the part of his collection dubbed “The Fantastic Thirteen” at Bonham’s Auctioneers’ sale at the forthcoming Goodwood Revival.

The multi-million-pound selection includes a striking replica of kids' movie favourite Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Also going up for sale on September 12 are six of Evans' Ferraris, one of which, a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C Alloy, is estimated to fetch £2,600,000 to 2,900,000.

Sholto Gilbertson, Bonhams Director of Motor cars, said: "Chris Evans is offering thirteen incredible motor cars at Bonhams sale, a stable which includes six outstanding Ferraris.

"Chris has been a long-standing client of Bonhams, so we're delighted to offer his incredible motor cars at Bonhams Goodwood Revival Sale. 

“In refreshing his collection, others will have the opportunity to enjoy Chris' fantastic cars. After all, you never 'own' a classic car, you enjoy it, look after it, and pass it on for others to appreciate."
