Prince William and Harry’s late mother Princess Diana’s unique black Ford Escort, driven by her in the 1980s is due to be auctioned this weekend.

According to the Reuters, the RS Turbo Series 1 Escort belonged to Diana between 1985 and 1988. It would be auctioned at Britain's Silverstone racing circuit, which expect it to fetch more than 100,000 pounds ($118,000).
