A yellow Ferrari owned by Chris Evans, similar in the photo below, was sold in an auction in UK for £66,500 or nearly US$110,000.

The Ferrari 575M Maranello is a two-seat, two-door, grand tourer built by Ferrari. Launched in 2002, it is essentially an updated 550 Maranello featuring minor styling changes from Pininfarina.

According to British news sites on Sunday, the 2003 Ferrari 575 Maranello of Evans, who was previously owned by rock guitarist Eric Clapton was bought by an anonymous buyer in an auction in Silverstone.

“Famous name provenance is always a help,” Silverstone Auctions manager Guy Loveridge was quoted on reports, adding that he was not surprised that the rare care was sold for that huge amount.

The rare Ferrari is estimated to cost around £58,000 but because it was previously owned by celebrities, it has fetched a higher £66,000.
