Slash motor may interest classic car fans

Those with collectors car insurance policies might be interested to hear Guns N' Roses rocker Slash is set to put one of his motors up for auction.

The guitarist is selling his 1966 Corvette Stingray, which has a pre-sale estimate of between $90,000 (£56,000) and $100,000, Reuters reports.

A sale is set to take place on March 26th at Julien's Auctions, which pointed out a decent chunk of the money will go to charity.

His car is just one of a number of possessions the guitarist is putting up for auction, including around 14 of the instruments he plays, as well as his jackets and two of his trademark top hats.

Slash appeared on stage alongside Where is the Love? pop stars the Black Eyed Peas at this year's Super Bowl Final between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Cowboys Stadium in Texas earlier this month.
