Princess Diana’s much loved Ford Escort RS is up for sale – 25 years on from her death

Princess Diana’s much loved car is up for sale, 25 years after her death.

The Ford Escort RS was driven by the princess from 1985 to 1988, during the early years of her sons William and Harry’s childhoods.

After being won on a radio station competition in the 90s, it was privately owned for a number of years before becoming part of a Ford RS collection, where it has been kept in ‘top condition’. 

Much less flashy than her later cars, mother-of-two Diana shunned the Royals’ Rolls-Royces and Daimlers for the modest Escort for a time and was often pictured driving it in London.

Silverstone Auctions Classic Car Specialist Arwell Richards told FEMAIL:  ‘We wouldn’t be surprised if it went for over £100,000.’
