Fancy a bargain? Roger Taylor's Mercedes is up for auction

Here’s a bargain celeb ride. Up for auction on November 16, this 1991 Mercedes 600SEL was first owned by Queen drummer Roger Taylor....

It may have racked up 168k and it needs a new power steering pump, but the W140 is bomb-proof. Estimated at £1,500, it has to be the cheapest chunk of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia you’ll ever find. 


This 600SEL was first owned by Roger Taylor, drummer with the celebrated rock band, Queen, whose name is recorded on the accompanying Swansea V5 document as the only keeper prior to the current vendor. We are advised that the car has covered some 168,000 miles from new and that there are many bills for work carried out on file. Finished in black with cream leather interior, 'J192 MLM' is described as in generally 'average' condition, the only reported defects being non-functioning power steering and a rear door electrical fault. The car is offered without reserve and sold strictly as viewed. No reserve.
