A CAR that featured in the much-loved Yorkshire TV comedy show, Last of the Summer Wine, is set to go under the hammer.

The 1970 Triumph Herald 13/60 will be sold in Tennants Auctioneers’ Motor Car, Motorcycle and Automobilia Sale on Saturday, June 5, with an estimate of £10,000 to £15,000 plus buyer’s premium.

The red Triumph Herald convertible was one of three similar models used in the long-running show, which was on screens from 1973 to 2010.

Such was the prominence of the car in the show that Corgi made a miniature Triumph Herald which was sold in a specially-themed pack along with a model of the car’s owner Edie Pegden, who played by Thora Hird.

The car has been fully restored, and will feature alongside a host of classic, vintage and luxury cars up for auction in Tennants’ Leyburn salerooms.

The vehicles will be available for public viewing on Thursday, June 3 and Friday, June 4.

An illustrated catalogue will be available at tennants.co.uk leading up to the sale, and remote bidding is available.
