This car was owned by Rowan Atkinson and Rowan Atkinson.
Rowan Atkinson is a motorhead who is well-known all over the globe. You can now get one of the many impressive motorbikes that Mr. Bean has owned over the years.
It’s not his McLaren F1, he sold it a few years back. Instead, it’s a handsome Mercedes500E. If you recognize it, it’s likely because it was featured in Magazine over the years.
It is quite bizarre that Atkinson has owned this car twice. Atkinson bought the car brand new in 1991. He kept it for four more years before selling it. Atkinson purchased the car in 2017, 23 years after he first sold it.
This car is a rare find. It is one of only 29 left-hand drive vehicles that the U.K. has supplied. Why? The car looks like a regular executive sedan. However, it has a 5.0-liter V8 engine under the hood. This allows it to accelerate from 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.5 seconds to a top speed 161 mph (259 km/h). These numbers are remarkable for a car that is 28 years old.
It also comes with a detailed history file.
“We are thrilled to offer a car directly from Rowan Atkinson. Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction director, said that the car has a unique story because the owner has owned it twice. “We have many unusual stories, and this is one of them, especially for a celebrity to buy his car after such an extended period.”
“We are used to celebrities cars, and this car will generate a lot more interest not only because of who it was owned but also due to its rarity.”
