Alongside, Classic Convertibles Auction runs from May 2nd to 18th featuring a curated selection of can’t-miss open-top models
Mustang gifted to actress Carey Lowell by Richard Gere up for auction on Catawiki from 3rd to 10th May
Amsterdam, 7 May 2025 This April, just as Pretty Woman marks its thirty-fifth anniversary, Catawiki, the leading online marketplace for special objects, offers a convertible with true Hollywood credentials. Up for auction is a 2000 Ford Mustang once owned by Richard Gere, the man who charmed the world and Vivian Ward in the screens, and defined cinematic cool from American Gigolo to Chicago.
This red Mustang is more than a collector’s item. It accompanies a certificate recounting the cars’ ownership history under Gere, who purchased this head-turned convertible as a gift to his then wife and actress Carey Lowell, known for her role as a Bond girl in Licence to Kill, alongside a portrait signed by the actor himself. With 89,500 kilometres on the clock, original factory paint, an accident-free history and just 280 kilometres driven since its last full service, the Mustang is in exceptional condition: a rare fusion of Hollywood lore and automotive legacy, and it's estimated between € 31,000-35,000.
“Few objects capture both screen magic and engineering excellence like this,” says Luud Smits, Catawiki’s Movie and Memorabilia expert. “It’s a Mustang with star power. For collectors, this kind of crossover is the real gold.”
This isn’t the first time someone’s had the chance to snap up and call their own a car with stardom status on Catawiki. Here’s a look at some celebrity-owned cars sold in previous years:
