Cars with a royal connection always command a higher price and a 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo, which is coming up for sale at auction on Aug 27, is set to be no exception.
The three-door, 130-horsepower car is the definitive hot hatch, although its stealthy black paint with a blue pinstripe sets it apart from its sporty brethren. Regular go-faster RS Escorts came in all-white only.
