An old Ford Escort that once belonged to the late Princess Diana sold at auction Saturday for a whopping £650,000, or around $763,700.

That’s a huge sum, considering the folks over at UK-based Silverstone Auctions told the Daily Mail they wouldn’t be surprised if the car sold for just over $100,000.

According to the outlet, the 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo was Diana’s car of choice when she owned it from 1985 to 1988. Fun fact: Diana preferred to drive herself around town whenever she met up with friends or went out shopping.

But there was still the issue of security. The solution, the Daily Mail reported, consisted of having a member of the Royal Protection Command sit passenger side when she drove around town. “The RS Turbo was never designed to be driven by the wife of the second in line to the British throne nor to transport the future King,” said a spokesperson for the auctioning firm.
