Robbie Coltrane is selling the 1951 Cadillac in which he made his epic trip across America for the TV programme Coltrane in a Cadillac.
The actor and comedian expects to get between #18,000 and #24,000 for the black two-door convertible with maroon interior at a Brooks car sale at London's Olympia on December 2.
The ''Caddy'' was the star's faithful companion on the journey across the United States. However, lack of preparation time meant that the car occasionally went wrong.
''But Mr Coltrane assures us that since then all necessary remedial work has been carried out,'' said Malcolm Barber of Brooks yesterday.
The Cadillac boasts new headlamps, dynamo, battery, tyres and triple-plated chrome.
'''She now drives as good as she looks', as they say in Detroit,'' said Mr Barber.
Only just over 6100 Series 62 convertibles were built for 1951 and the car is rated as a ''five-star investment'' by the Cadillac Collectors' Guide.
The car is offered with a book and video of Coltrane in a Cadillac.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
