A car given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles as an engagement present has sold for more than £52,000 ($72,000) at auction.
The 1981 Ford Escort Ghia sold for about $30,000 more than the lower range of the expected price.
The auctioneer’s estimate had suggested that the car would fetch between £30,000 and £40,000 ($41,500 and $55,400). With fees, the final selling price was £52,640 ($72,800).

The car was given to Diana by Prince Charles in May 1981, two months before the pair’s wedding, according to Reeman Dansie auctioneers.
The young princess drove the vehicle until August 1982.

The car was sold on Tuesday with its original registration number, paintwork, and radio. There are approximately 83,000 miles on the car’s speedometer.

“The Ford was Princes Diana’s personal transport in the early and happiest part of her relationship with the Prince of Wales and there are numerous photographs of her driving it and even her watching the Prince playing polo, sitting inside it,” the Reeman Dansie statement reads.
The auctioneers said the unnamed seller was a woman who was a great admirer of Diana and who had kept the car’s royal roots a secret even from her friends.
The vehicle comes with a silver frog mascot on the bonnet.

The Ford saloon comes with a silver frog mascot on the bonnet, a copy of a gift from Diana’s sister, Sarah Spencer.
Reeman Dansie said the gift was to remind Diana of “the fairy tale of a beautiful girl whose kiss turns a frog into a prince.”
It’s not the first time a Diana vehicle has sold for an impressive sum — her Audi convertible was sold last year for £58,000 ($80,300).
