Diana Dors purchased this 1949 Delahaye Type 175 Roadster very early in her acting career when she was just 17 years old! She paid $13,904.00 for the roadster (equivalent to $150,755.00 today) before she’d even passed her driving test! The car was sold at auction in 2011 for $3,090,620.00 (equivalent to $3,575,498.00 today). Diana Dors made a lot of money early on because she was considered to be Britain’s answer to Marilyn Monroe despite the fact that she looked more like Jayne Mansfield… either way… she was a blonde bombshell!
