Jay Kay from Jamiroquai is selling three of his cherished cars

Jay Kay of Jamiroquai fame is making some room in his garage and entrusting Bonhams with the sale of three of his cherished cars – two Porsches, a Carrera GT and a 911 Carrera 2.7 RS ‘Lightweight’, and a beautifully specified Ferrari F12tdf…

Jamiroquai’s lead singer Jay Kay has never made any bones about his love for exotic cars. Hell, many of his songs are either about his favourite cars or feature them in the videos – Black Devil Car, anyone? Now, the exuberant pop star has decided to part ways with three cars from his current stable, entrusting Bonhams with finding them happy new homes. Kay is a true automotive connoisseur, having owned over 100 cars including Ferrari 275s, Lamborghini Miuras and myriad Porsche 911s.

The first of the three he’s selling at The Bond Street Sale on 7 December is a silver 2004 Porsche Carrera GT with just 2,500 miles on the clock (est. £650,000–750,000). It’s followed by another Porsche, this time a gorgeous 911 Carrera 2.7 RS ‘Lightweight’ resplendent in Tangerine and benefitting from a recent engine rebuild (£750,000–850,000). Finally (and perhaps inevitably) there’s a Prancing Horse from Maranello – a gorgeous Grigio Ferro Ferrari F12tdf that Kay generously specified himself back in 2016. It’s covered just 895 miles and boasts the most exquisite chocolate-coloured interior. Bonhams has attached a pre-sale estimate of £670,000–740,000. You can find the entire catalogue for Bonhams’ annual season-closing sale, taking place at its Bond Street HQ on 7 December, listed in the Classic Driver Market
