Two car belonging to the late Chris Rea are due for auction with Iconic at Supercar Fest on 16-17 May.
The pair includes the music star’s 1972 Fiat 500 that was converted to electric power and used as his everyday car.
Converted in 2023 by Retro Electric Ltd, the Fiat has a range of 75 miles and comes to auction in superb condition with an estimate of £10,000-£14,000.
At the other end of the performance scale, Rea’s 2022 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is expected to fetch between £80,000 and £100,000.
Acquired by Chris Rea in June 2023 and retained within his personal collection, the Porsche has covered just 1,242 miles. Supplied new by Porsche Centre Cardiff, it is finished in Slate Grey Neo with black exterior accents and a black hide and Alcantara interior.
Charles Smalley, Car Specialist at Iconic Auctioneers, said: ‘Cars from Chris Rea’s collection always attract interest, but what stands out here is the contrast. The Porsche is a modern performance car with very low mileage and clear collector appeal, while the Fiat 500 is something he used and enjoyed over many years. Together they show the breadth of his taste and, equally, the range of cars we are proud to offer at auction.’
