The cadillac once owned by former Argentine president Juan Peron and his wife Eva.

A luxury Cadillac limousine once owned by Eva Peron and her husband Juan, the former president of Argentina, has emerged for sale for 260,000 pounds.

The jet black motor was used to drive Peron, known by the affectionate nickname Evita, and her husband around capital city Buenos Aires on state duties.

The left-hand drive 1951 Cadillac boasts a 5.4-litre, eight cylinder engine and has a black leather bench seat in the front and a beige cloth seat in the back.

Incredibly the 63-year-old car has just 3,489 miles on the clock.

The car is expected to fetch 260,000 pounds when it goes under the hammer on behalf of its owner in a Silverstone Auctions sale on September 4.

Also included in the sale is a jewel found inside the car when it arrived in the UK from Argentina. It is thought to have come from one of Evita's dresses.
