Drive like a Jedi as vintage motor owned by Star Wars legend goes up for sale… but it costs £1.5million
A classic motor once owned by a Star Wars legend can now be yours... if you can rustle up £1.5million.
Petrolheads can drive like a Jedi with a 1948 Tucker ’48 car that was once owned by George Lucas.
The iconic set of wheels was created by American motoring entrepreneur Preston Tucker - best known from 1988 Hollywood biopic Tucker: The Man and His Dream - with Lucas as executive producer.
The Tucker '48 was built from Tucker's vision of an American family sedan - with a number of features that were way ahead of their time during the early 1940s.
The car boasts a frameless, uni-body structure, windscreen pop-out safety glass, a centre headlight that turns with the steering, a padded dashboard, and a crash compartment of ahead the front passengers.
Lucas was likely the car's fifth owner when he purchased it in 1982. He then kept it at the famous Skywalker Ranch for years, eventually selling it in 2005.
The motor is up for auction via Broad Arrow Auction at Northern California’s Monterey Jet Center on August 14 and 15 during the Monterey Car Week.
