Nice to drive you, to drive you nice - If you play your cards right you could pick up Brucie's old Roller.

A classic Rolls-Royce, formally owned by the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, has emerged for sale, nearly 40 years after it was sold by the former Strictly Come Dancing host.

The Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible dates back to 1971 and was owned from new by the legendary entertainer until 1978.

Since then it has had a string of other owners including Alpine Grant - the brother of musician Eddie Grant.

The car itself is in pristine condition and its blue bodywork appears as new.

Under the bonnet the car has a 6750cc V8 engine and could reach speeds of over 100mph.

Over the years the soft top Corniche has been a real favourite for the rich and famous with other celebrities to own one including Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Tom Jones and Frank Sinatra.

This one came into the possession of its current owner, and vendor in 2006, but now following Forsyth's recent death he has decided to sell it.

It is being sold by H&H auctioneers, Cambridgeshire, and could be yours for £50,000
