Former Beatle George Harrison's Porsche to be sold at auction

Ex-Beatle George Harrison's rare black Porsche 928 is expected to fetch £20,000 when it is sold at auction later this year.

The car was bought by Harrison when he lived in Henley-on-Thames and he drove it for more than three years. It's rare in that it is a 'base' black colour with black stitching on its leather interior instead of the usual black/red or black/cream combination.

The car is being sold by Raj Sedha, from Leeds, who bought the car in 2003, but did not realise the significance of its former owner.

Mr Sedha said he bought the car for spare parts until his wife looked at the paperwork and saw the George Harrison's name on the log book.

Now fully restored and working the car is expected to fetch upwards of £20,000 when it is sold at auction on March 17th.
