She has driven it regularly since, and it is expected to fetch up to £17,000.

Evans is getting rid of his black 1964 Daimler V8 Vicarage Convertible, which cost him £135,000 and is expected to fetch up to £70,000.

Evans famously wooed Piper by giving her a Ferrari filled with roses the day after they first met.

She was 18 at the time and had not yet learned to drive.

Piper, now 24, and Evans, who is 16 years her senior, were granted a "quickie" divorce last month but remain the best of friends.

The couple married in Las Vegas in May 2001 and separated in October 2004.

Radio 2 presenter Evans is now dating golfer Natasha Shishmanian, while ex-Doctor Who star Piper has found love with fellow actor Laurence Fox.
