A plane, Audi Q5 and Rolex are among the luxury gear seized by police and up for grabs at auction

Ever fancied owning your own plane?

Well you're in luck - and you might just be able to bag a bargain because there's one going up for auction, with no reserve, in Newport .

The auction, run by Wilsons Auctions, will include 80 lots of high-end goods and will take place at the auction company’s Newport site.

It's an unreserved government auction, meaning that the luxury goods being sold off have been seized as a result of the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Along with the Piper Arrow IV plane, there are a range of luxury items up for grabs.

They include a Polaris RZR 170 EFi ATV off-road buggy, a Polaris Scrambler XP Quad, a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited and an Audi Q5 S Line TDi Quattro.

The auction is being held on Wednesday, March 11, at the Auction House on Usk Way, and starts from 7pm.

But bidders can also join in from all over the world, with the company's online bidding tool.

He added: “With the auction available to both physical and online bidders it is open to a worldwide audience and gives customers the chance to purchase quality goods for an affordable price.

"Wilsons Auctions plays an important role in realising any type of asset on behalf of our government clients which has seen us responsible in returning £100 million back into the public purse in recent years."
