Caine referred to himself as the “original bourgeois nightmare – a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars,” which suits the type of vehicle he purchased.It was described as a luxurious car, “trimmed with a superlative mix of sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers, and deep lambswool carpet”, and was known to be “expensive.”According to the BBC, the actor walked into the Jack Barclay showroom in London with a list of things to buy: “Milk, bread, newspaper, cigarettes, Rolls Royce,” but was shot down because of his untidy appearance.Caine eventually purchased the car at another dealership later on.Sir Michael sold the vehicle two years later to a nightclub owner Jack Leach, who owned the car for 43 years until his death in 2013.The classic car went under extensive restoration before being sold, in addition to repainting it in its original black colour.Senior motor car specialist at H&H Classics Damian Jones said: “Sir Michael Caine is a true British icon, so it’s a pleasure to be able to offer his very first car for sale, which in itself is another great British classic.”In other news, Sir Michael Caine responded to claims that the 1964 film Zulu is piece of culture that “incites the far-right”.
