Spring in convertibles: as Pretty Woman Turns 35, Catawiki hosts unmissable auction for the Car and Film lovers
As Pretty Woman celebrates its 35th anniversary, Catawiki marks the occasion with a must-see auction for car and film enthusiasts: the 2000 Ford Mustang that Richard Gere gifted to his then-wife, actress Carey Lowell (famous for her Bond girl role in Licence to Kill). From May 3 to 10, collectors worldwide can bid on this piece of Hollywood history, estimated at €31,000–35,000.
A Star-worthy icon
The Mustang, with just 89,500 km, original paint, and ownership documentation, comes with a photo autographed by Gere. A rare chance to own a car that blends cinematic charm and automotive excellence. “Few objects capture the magic of cinema like this Mustang,” says Catawiki expert Luud Smits.
