Elvis Presley’s old car is up for sale along with other King of Rock and Roll memorabilia.

The white 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V was purchased by him and gifted to his fiancée, Ginger Alden.

The vintage motor, which boasts a top speed of 116mph, has been fully restored.

It previously appeared at the Elvis Presley Museum, in Memphis, Tennessee, US.

It has an all-steel roof, full-grain white leather interior with red dashboard and carpeting.

Inside, there is a luxury Cartier clock, automatic climate control, cruise control, twin comfort lounge seats, and a high-gloss woodgrain insert interior.

It is set to sell for £243,000 ($300,000) at Julien’s Auctions, in Los Angeles, California, which ends on Saturday (18 Nov).

Elvis purchased the vehicle from Star Lincoln Mercury Sales in Glendale, California, for £10,986 ($13,500).

It is the 775th Continental produced out of a total of 80,000.

Restoration work includes a new custom-built exhaust, a new windshield, new tires, complete bodywork and paint job and a new brake system.

The pricey motor comes with images of previous ownership documents showing that the vehicle was in Ginger Alden’s name in 1977.

It also comes with a copy of Ginger Alden’s memoir, Elvis & Ginger – where she discusses the car in detail – and a copy of a Letter of Authenticity from Jo Alden.

A red racing jacket, screen-worn by Elvis Presley as “Steve Grayson” in the musical, Speedway is also up for sale.

It is expected to rake in £32,553 ($40,000).

Other notable items from the 1950’s icon include a 14k gold-filled Lord Elgin watch.

The Jailhouse Rock singer was famously seen wearing different versions of the watch throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

An empty bottle of prescription sleeping pills is also set to sell for £5,693 ($7,000).

The label reads, “Elvis Presley: Take one capsule every bedtime as needed for sleep.”
