Criminal's confiscated Rolls-Royce Ghost being sold to highest bidder

A criminal's confiscated Rolls-Royce Ghost is being sold to the highest bidder at an auction.

The car was seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act from the owner, who was at the forefront of a multimillion-pound drug ring operating in Essex. In total, the gang were ordered to repay a hefty £800k confiscation order.

With less than 49,000 miles on the clock, the luxury 2012 vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder at Wilsons Auctions on behalf of a law enforcement agency committed to combating organised crime. Other items being auctioned off include a BMW X5, Rolex Sea-Dweller 400, and vintage Chanel handbags.

"Luxury doesn’t stop at the Rolls-Royce – other items listed in the catalogue for this auction include an excellent Patek Philippe Nautilus, multiple Rolex models, designer handbags and a fabulous range of exquisite diamond jewellery."

Everything from raw gemstones such as orange heart cut loose diamonds and yellow radiant cut diamonds to stunning £3,000 necklaces are up for auction.

The Online Luxury Goods Auction will run from 11am on May 26 to May 31, allowing time for buyers to participate. Prospective buyers can register on the Wilsons Auctions website, where they can also find additional information about the auction and the bidding process.
