The home cocktail bar from the BBC TV series Only Fools and Horses, owned by the character Del Boy, played by actor Sir David Jason, is heading to auction in the UK.
The bar, which featured heavily in the TV series, is a ribbed leatherette design which has been signed by eleven cast members including Jason, Christopher Ryan (Tony), Sue Holderness (Marlene), Nick Stringer (Jumbo), Roy Marsden (Danny Driscoll), Helen Blizzard (Trudy), Philip Pope (Tony Angelino), Antoni Corone (Rico), Andree Bernard (Nerys), John Moreno (Enrico), Mike Carnell (Towser) and Lee Gibson (Cabaret singer).
The item is sold with a letter of authenticity from the Only Fools and Horses Appreciation Society.
The auction features a number of recognisable pieces of memorabilia from the Only Fools and Horses TV shows including Del Boy's Motorola 8500X brick mobile phone, a crucial prop in Del's pursuit of a city-boy appearance.
Signed by Sir David Jason the phone is available with an estimate of £350 - £450
Del's house phone, a 1973 American Telecommunications Corp candlestick telephone, also signed by Jason is also available at a £350 - £450 estimate.
Perhaps the most recognisable piece of memorabilia is a replica van panel of the Trotter's famous bright yellow Reliant Robin bearing the famous 'Trotters Independent Traders' logo.
Signed by 16 cast members the panel could be yours for £2,000 - £3,000.
