Fleming's Rare Car On Sale
A vintage sports car once owned by JAMES BOND creator IAN FLEMING is set to fetch $195,000 (£130,000) at auction.
The made-to-order AC Aceca Coupe was bought brand new by Fleming in 1962, and is one of only six existing models in the world.
It has a top speed of 130 miles-per-hour (209 kilometres-per-hour) and is fitted with a radio and seat belts, unlike standard vehicles of the '60s.
The car will be sold by auctioneers Bonhams in West Sussex, England later this month (Sep10).
A Bonhams spokesman says, "The value comes really from its rarity, but it's nice to hang a famous name to it."
