George's car for sale on internet

Michael has sung on TV shows, but not in concert, since 1999

Singer George Michael is selling one of his cars on an internet auction site - to raise money for charity.

The black Range Rover - which comes with a "massive" stereo system and registration number J5 STUD - has been put up for sale on eBay.

The pop star paid £50,000 for the top-of-the-range model in 1991.

It has recently been kept at his father's stud farm in Cyprus, hence the registration. The ad on eBay describes the sale as a "unique opportunity".

The advert adds: "It is without question a one-off, as this gentleman's vehicles never see the private ad columns and would normally be handed down to family or friends."

A spokesman for the singer said: "George has decided to sell the car to raise money for his favourite charities."

So far the vehicle has attracted a highest bid of £4,800. Bidding closes on 26 April.
