The BMW used to chauffeur Prime Minister John Key over the past three years is going under the hammer.
The 2008 BMW 730LD is among five ministerial BMWs to be sold in a commercial auction in Auckland on December 3.
"We were blown away by the public interest in thegovernment BMWs at the last tender. With the Prime Minister's car up for auction, we expect even more interest this time round," said Turners Auctions chief executive Graham Roberts.
Mr Key's vehicle has less than 48,000km on the clock and has been regularly serviced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The car is expected to fetch $62,000-$68,000 at auction.
"The opportunity to buy a Prime Minister's vehicle is extremely rare, so we expect collectors to be particularly interested in this one," Mr Roberts said in a statement.
Other vehicles in the auction include a 1967 Roll Royce Phantom, a 2000 Bentley Arnage, a 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, two Ford Mustang GTs (2005 and 2006), as well as three 2010-2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS/RS coupes.
