A 202mph Ferrari 458 owned by radio DJ Chris Evans AND Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy to fetch £140,000
The stunning supercar was previously owned by the former Top Gear host who sold it to cyclist Sir Chris. The Olympic star is now shifting the 200mph Ferrari to one lucky owner at auction
OLYMPIC hero Sir Chris Hoy has put Chris Evans' old Ferrari up for sale - and it is expected to sell for £140,000.
The stunning Ferrari 458 Italia is regarded by experts as one of the Italian firm's greatest ever models.
And this 2010 car is extra special as it has been owned by two popular British petrolheads.
Radio 2 presenter and former Top Gear host Chris Evans was the first owner of the Rosso Vinaccia coloured supercar.
A well-known Ferrari collector, Evans only kept the motor for a short period before putting it up for sale.
Sir Chris, who won six Olympic cycling golds in the velodrome, bought the 458 Italia in 2012 and still owns the 202mph supercar.
It has been driven just 13,500 miles in seven years and Sir Chris, who has raced at Le Mans, is sending it to auction.
With 570bhp from a 4.5-litre V8 engine, the supercar is capable of 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds and will reach a top speed of 202mph.
Mark Hickman, classic car specialist, Silverstone Auctions, said: "Chris has really enjoyed owning the car, but it's time for a change.
"It's totally unique and a really high specification.
"I've never seen one in that colour before.
"It's been clearly looked after and in fantastic condition and with such a detailed history and provenance we're expecting a lot of interest in the car."
It goes under the hammer at Silverstone Auctions' NEC Classic Motor Show Sale over the weekend of November 11 and is expected to sell for £140,000.
