Noel Gallagher sells classic Jaguar sports car for eye-watering sum

May 2024 · 2 minute read

NOEL Gallagher has sold his classic Jaguar sports car for £125,000 — having never driven it in the 25 years he owned it.

The Oasis star bought the 125mph soft-top during the band’s heyday in 1997 but never passed his test.

A mystery buyer is believed to have splashed out £15,000 more than the £110,000 Noel paid for the 1967 vehicle.

He had said he would hand it down to daughter Anais, 22, but he clearly opted against that.

The Jag, which he put up for sale in March, was last year used in a music video for the single We’re on Our Way Now by his band High Flying Birds.

It featured The Crown actor Matt Smith, 38, and actress Gala Gordon, 29, cuddling up as they drive around London.

Noel, 55, has previously branded the Jaguar MkII one of his “most expensive mistakes”.

Having originally planned to take lessons and get a licence, he dropped out of driving school after just one session.

He said: “My £110,000 Jaguar just sits in the garage. It’s been there since the ’90s.

“I thought when I became a fully-blown rock star, I was gonna need a car. So I got a MkII Jaguar from 1967, the year I was born. I thought I’ll easily have learned to drive.”

London classic car dealer Hurst Park Automobiles said the motor, with its plush red leather interior, had been bought by an anonymous buyer.

The firm added: “We can’t disclose any further information about who has bought the car, or how much it was for.”
