Jamie Oliver sells vintage Fiat with unique plate number
Jamie Oliver is putting up his 1955 Fiat 1100 pick-up for auction on Saturday September 28.
The celebrity chef, who is an avid car enthusiast, has owned the vehicle since 2012, and it is still in its original and unrestored condition, with just 43,000 km on the clock.
The ute was imported from Italy in 1973, and the celebrity chef is the third UK owner of the vintage vehicle.
Not only does the ute still have its original steel wheels - with yellow highlights - it has a unique plate number that spells out '677 Yum'.
The rear of the car has been embellished by the celebrity chef, with a sticker of a white hearts and the initials J.O which stands for both his name and his wife Juliette, known as Jools.
The Fiat 1100 is painted green and has brown vinyl seats, with the spare wheel stowed behind them. It has a four-speed manual gearbox that connects the four-cylinder petrol engine to a live axle rear-end.
Classic Car Auctions, the auctioneers selling the car, has assessed the vehicles condition and given it an overall grade of 80 out of 135, meaning that the car is still in 'good condition'.
The ute is expected to sell for between £6000 and £8000 ($AU11,700 to $AU15,600).
