Disgraced Jimmy Savile's Rolls-Royce Corniche - that he nicknamed The Beast' is "worthless", Autoblog has discovered. The special motor, which sold for £160,000 in July with only 4,000 miles on the clock, is now probably worth nothing at all, after a string of horrific and distressing allegations against the TV presenter and charity fundraiser, who died last year. Speaking to Autoblog, Mike Hind, communications manager for the vehicle valuations specialist CAP, said: "I think it is completely undesirable to anyone now, and has the potential to be totally worthless." The 2002-registered car sold in July at a charity auction with Sir Jimmy's cherished plate on it – JS 247. But it's that number plate which has stripped the car of its value, believes Hind. "The car is probably worth nothing with JS 247 on it. I'd advise the number plate be changed and Savile's name be removed from the log book." A scrap dealer paid £160,000 for the car in July, but told Sky News he fears the car is worth half of that and is trying to get his money back. Hind told us the car, without the "celebrity" status, has a Black Book Live CAP Clean trade-in value of around £52,000. The owner – who has not revealed his identity for fear of being found out by his wife – told Sky News: "I don't want to be associated with it [the car]. I'm just gutted because all of this should have come out before hand."  |

Lovely runner Low mileage for year Mint paintwork, no scuffs Slight wear and tear on child seats in back, hence low asking price. |

The owner of the car is well known, he appeared on Look North both when he purchased it and when the story blew up.
There are plenty having a good laugh now and saying it couldn't have happened to a better person. Not for me to comment obviously |

We now know for certain that Savile was a loathsome vile ugly creep, though plenty of us always disliked him without knowing what he was up to.

What the feck has what he was, got to do with the value of his car? If he was a god medal winning athlete, does thst add value to it?
I'd buy it for £5k if he doesn't want it. Many years ago I purchased a Vauxhall Ventura Estate car. Nobody wanted it because the owner of it was stabbed to death by his wife, while they were parked in a quiet lane. When I found out nobody wanted it I gave her a tenner for it and told her it was only good for scrap. I replaced the bloodstained carpets, cleaned the upholstery, put it into an auction in Ashford, Kent, and got £170 for it. |

Mohammed done it for years and he has millions of followers. Maybe Sir Jimmy should have converted to Islam and then this furore wouldn't have erupted.

That car will be the major tourist attraction with millions of Americans busting a gut to visit it. That guy will be able to sell it to the Yanks for at least a million. |
