•Surprise Surprise, the 1977 Mini once owned by TV star Cilla Black

•Fully gamed up, the tour bus from the pop boy band, One Direction

What a line up of exciting cars coming to the CCA auction on the 3rd August. Cars from film, music and stars are being offered at the Warwickshire Event Centre.

Leading the stardom is Cilla Black's 1977 Mini bought new by her husband Bobby Willis, the tour bus from One Direction with nearly every gaming console you could possibly imagine and a replica of the Range Rover that featured in the James bond film Octopussy.

Surprise Surprise! Well what a lovely surprise this is. The Mini, owned from new by Cilla Black and bought by her beloved husband Bobby Willis, has come to auction. But this is a very special Mini as it is the Wood and Picket version. With 41,000 miles on the clock and having recently undergone a restoration whilst maintaining all the features offered by Bill Wood and Les Pickett, this little black Mini is in excellent condition and estimated at £24,000 to £28,000. But that is not all, as it has an invitation to this year's Goodwood Revival alongside The Beatles original Mini Coopers and the sale includes an entry and tickets.

Nick Bicknell Classic Car Specialist for Classic Car Auctions commented:' The owner who is a collector of very selective classic cars, told us that Bobby bought this as a gift for Cilla and the number plate is original to the car. It has had four previous keepers, but a great car with proven ownership to one of the UK's best loved entertainers.'

The James Bond films always come up with some really great cars and gadgets. Octopussy didn't disappoint, at the start of the film Roger Moore drove a Range Rover towing a horse box which as we can all guess was no ordinary set up. Well you can now purchase for an estimated £60,000 to £70,000 a Tribute version of the 1982Range Rover as seen in the film, which was commissioned by a serious Bond and car fanatic. Sourced, converted and restored by respected specialists, Bishops Heritage, this car underwent and extensive nut and bolt restoration and would now be very suitable for safaris and shoots as well as numerous PR and marketing opportunities.

Gary Dunne, Classic Car Auctions auction manager commented: 'We have really got some cracking lots for our auction in a few weeks time. Again we have been chosen to auction some very significant cars from the world of entertainment and they will certainly have loads of interest.'
