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."

The provenance of the vehicle is very poor

Nevertheless I'd swap my Hillman for it



The owner said he has spoken to other buyers who bought ex-Savile belongings at the charity auction, and they believe their purchases are also worth nothing."A lot of people spent a lot of money on that stuff, tracksuits and that, and they've got to burn them now because they're worth nothing.

"I've got my lawyers looking at it now, but my solicitor has spoken to a barrister and he seemed to think none of us had a leg to stand on," he said.

Thinks the relatives should be made to buy back all the stuff sold at auction. Hmmm. how about they just donate the money to child charities, and you greedy barstewards who thought they were going to make a profit take the hit?

Not really - you had to be good to impress her but most of all you had to be genuine so not many people got on to the favourites list. She did laugh at Doddy though who she said was funny without being dirty.

Always remember when my lad asked her if she had any HP sauce to put on one of her famous roast dinners. With a withering look she said "hunger is the best sauce". He never asked again and often uses the saying with his own kids.

Looking at video's of Saville now makes my flesh creep. Why didn't we spot it then - brainwashed by the BBC and celebrity in general. Now that we know what to look for, would it be wrong to pick out a few suspects. I think you'd soon get banned if you did.

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.
