Previously unseen snaps of 80s pin-ups to go up for auction
The stunning photos were taken by photographer Philip Raymond-Barker in the mid-1980s
UNSEEN snaps featuring some of Britain’s most famous 80s glamour models are going under the hammer - including shots of Sam Fox and Heather Mills.
Thousands of the never-before-seen Page 3 models' portraits have been unearthed for the first time in over 30 years - and they’re now finally being shown to the public.
The stunning photographs, taken by Philip Raymond-Barker, include 80s pin-up Sam Fox as well as Paul McCartney's ex Heather Mills.
Heather was shot in a series of titillating poses by the Cotswolds-based snapper early on in her career - before she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident.
Other glamour girls featured in the glossy photographs include Page 3 legend Kathy Lloyd, who started her topless career in 1984, aged 18.
The pictures - which range from sexy semi-nude and lingerie shots to playful portraits - were taken at Phillip’s London studio in the mid-1980s.
The shots of Sam Fox and the other big name stars will now go under the hammer, with an estimate of £100 to £150 on August 12 at Moore Allen & Innocent auctioneers.
Valuers from the auction house, based in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, reckon they could see bids of as high as £500 for the more raunchy snaps and the negatives.
Auctioneer Philip Allwood said: "These photographs are more than 30 years old, but the models still attract a fervent following, and we're expecting a lot of interest from their fans.
"Interest in Samantha Fox, particularly, will be greater now that she has entered the Big Brother House.
"Raymond-Barker shot the models for glossy European publications.
"Many of these images will never have been published in the UK - and some may never have been published at all."

The auction house is also selling other items from the snapper's studio, including camera and studio lighting and equipment - enough for the lucky buyer to start their very own glamour studio, if they wanted.
Portraits of a far more modest variety - but still featuring big names from the world of entertainment during the 1980s and 1990s - will also go up for auction at the sale, but are expected to sell for a far more modest £50.
