Memorabilia from the classic 1969 film the Italian Job is to go under the hammer in Cumbria this weekend.
The registration plates from the three Mini Coopers used in the movie’s famous car chase, are to be part of a classic cars auction in the Lake District.
The sale has been organised by the Italian Job fan club and is expected to raise £40,000 for the charity NCH which cares for deprived and abused children.
The auction will take place at Dalemain House, Ulswater, on Sunday.

The nationwide Italian Job fan club was set up in 1990 and has so far raised more than £2m for children’s charities by organising Mini Cooper rallies.
Freddy St George, founder of the organisation, said: “It is fair to say that everyone involved is a complete nut about the film and I have watched it hundreds of times.
