The Fiat 500L driven by Peter Kay in BBC comedy Car Share is up for auction – with all funds raised set to go to charity.
Yorkshire car dealer Piccadilly Motors is selling the famous Fiat, through specialist trade platform Dealer Auction.
Traders are being encouraged to “throw away the price guides and bid generously for this piece of comedy history”.
Piccadilly MD Simon Watts originally bought the Car Share Fiat at auction, with the intention of raising money for the firm’s chosen charities.
“Due to the current pandemic and the restrictions we’re under, this has proven to be extremely difficult – therefore I thank Dealer Auction for helping us achieve our goal.”
All money raised will go to the Candlelighters charity, which supports families facing children’s cancer in the Yorkshire region.
The retailer also supports Martin House Hospice, which provides family-led care for children with life-shortening conditions across Yorkshire.
Over more than two decades, Piccadilly has raised more than £150,000 for its chosen charities.
The auction runs until Wednesday 27 January – and the winner will not only get the famous red Fiat, but also the car door that was knocked off in the final series, signed by Peter Kay, Sian Gibson and the crew.
Car Share ran for three series from 2015 and won numerous awards including the National Television Awards’ Best Comedy for three consecutive years.
