Olympian Sir Chris Hoy is selling his Ferrari 458 Italia, worth around £140,000, that has another former celebrity owner.
The Scot bought the burgundy supercar, which is capable of 202mph, in 2012 and it has only 13,500 miles on the clock.
Radio 2 presenter and former Top Gear host Chris Evans’ had a short spell as its first owner before it was put up for sale through a car dealer in Lancashire.
Sir Chris, who won six Olympic golds on track, bought the 458 Italia in 2012 and still owns the 202mph supercar.
Mark Hickman of Silverstone Auctions, which is selling the vehicle, said: “Chris has really enjoyed owning the car, but it’s time for a change. It’s totally unique."
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
