The much-loved van from the classic sitcom is coming up for auction - and it could sell for as little as £15,000
DEL BOY'S legendary yellow three-wheeler from Only Fools and Horses is up for sale.
The famous motor appeared in the 2001 Christmas special If They Could See Us Now and was driven around the glitzy roads in Monaco.
The 1968 Reliant Regal comes complete with the iconic tiger print interior and Trotters Independent Trading Co on the side.
It's one of the most recognisable cars from TV but it could sell for an absolute bargain price.
It's being sold with "no reserve" next month with insiders suggesting as little as £15,000 could be enough to bag a piece of British sitcom history.
It's still in full working order passing it's MOT without issue six years in a row - but it's done just 30 miles in the past decade.
Accessories including a "Tax in Post" window notice, nodding tiger, roof rack with suitcase, set of furry dice, personalised rubber foot mats and a set of blow-up plastic dolls.
The current mileage is 71,778 miles and the van is supplied with its original owners handbook, an MOT until 9th June 2018 and letters in the history file from the BBC which confirm its authenticity.
It was one of a number of Regals used for filming the popular sitcom over its 20-year run.
And this appeared in the Christmas special - one of the last ever episodes - where Del Boy loses his fortune.
At the time it was the BBC's most viewed television programme of the decade with 21.3million tuning in.
The Regal is fitted with a 600cc engine which develops just 30bhp. This gives it a 0-60mph time of 25 seconds and a top speed of just 75mph.
Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone Auctions, said: "Del Boy's Reliant Regal is one of the most distinctive cars of BBC comedy history.
"Only Fools and Horses has a fan base spanning several generations and is something of a British treasure, so to have the van from the series for auction is a real treat which will no doubt draw the crowds."
"Disregarding its TV provenance, it's probably that most reliable example of this 'marque' that you will find and has even participated in the London to Brighton rally in 2001 and 2004."
Del Boy's van will be sold by Silverstone Auctions over the weekend of November 11 at the NEC.
