A Volvo that was once owned by David Bowie has sold for $270,000 at auction in Switzerland, according to Motoring Research. The car was sold by a Swiss auction house called Oldtimer Galerie Toffen, who said that the car sold for over three times what they had initially anticipated. Bowie’s former Volvo262C was one of the last of the line produced in 1981, and it was delivered to his Swiss home in June of that year. The car was initially registered under Bowie’s own name, David Robert Jones, before transferring over to the record company Belway Bros. It sold with over 33,000 miles on the odometer. Bowie’s car was fitted with an optional three-speed automatic transmission, as well as heated leather seating, air conditioning and a Blaupunkt stereo. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com.
