A plush Harley Davidson motorbike thought to be the only one ever owned by Hollywood legend Marlon Brando has emerged for sale for a whopping £260,000.
Brando bought the plush Harley Davidson Electra-Glide in 1970 just before filming started on The Godfather, largely considered to be his best film.
A huge fan of motorbikes, Brando's association with two-wheeled machines was set in stone when he starred as violent biker and gang leader Johnny Strabler in hit 1953 film The Wild One.
His Harley is now tipped to fetch $400,000 - around £260,000 - when it goes under the hammer at Julien's Auctions in LA on behalf of a private owner.
