A collection of rare Rolls-Royces, including vehicles used by Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, is to be auctioned 2 off in the UK. The eight cars are expected to attract combined bids of up to $6.4 million (4.9 million pounds) when they go under the hammer next month. Among the most anticipated lots is a 1953 Rolls-Royce Phantom 3 IV, used by the Queen on state occasions and kept by the British royal family for more than 40 years.
