J35 TER previsouly owned by comedy legend Jethro sold at auction for a staggering £30,500. Jethro who was always seen using the personalised number plate, it was even used on the vehicle that carried his coffin aon his fianl journey.

Harvey Pile from Stags Auctioneers told BBC Radio Cornwall: "When I was instructed to conduct the sale on behalf of the family I knew it would be quite a sought-after and special item to be selling but I did not expect it to be beyond £15,000 to £20,000.

"There was quite a prolonged bidding war between numerous people, it actually didn't close until 19:40 BST, travelling from £15,000 right up to £30,500 until somebody was finally victorious and now owns a piece of comedic history."

Mr Pile said he had no doubt the affection for Jethro had added to the interest in the sale.

"The origin of it is important and I think that's definitely helped us promote it and obviously helped the sale prices be very very healthy," he said.
