This Rolls Royce Corniche III, once owned by the late film director Michael Winner, was listed for the relatively bargain price of £69,950.

The only car to register a lower value than other models online, the 47 per cent decline in value may have something to do with the fact that the car was purchased to celebrate accumulating £6million worth of debt.

Erin Baker, Auto Trader editorial director, said: “Whether you’re a popstar, a Premier League footballer, or even Her Majesty The Queen, Auto Trader continues to be the number one destination for selling your car.

"Car finance deals have made car ownership a realistic prospect for many drivers, but it’s also increased choice across both new and used cars, surprising buyers with cars they may have first thought unaffordable including the cars previously owned by the rich and famous.
