Elvis is in The Building: The King's Cadillac Reaches U.K. Museum

A Cadillac Seville once owned by Elvis Presely is now on display at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, U.K.

The vehicle, a 1977 that was purchased back in October 1976, was probably the last car that the King purchased for his own personal use. The car was also driven by Elvis the day before his death, according to The Telegraph.

Its burgundy and silver finish was chosen by Presley himself and still has its original CB radio, which he chose to install in order to communicate with the guardhouse and kitchen at his Graceland mansion.

When Presley died, the car was given to Elvis's girlfriend Ginger Alden by his father Vernon. It was auctioned off in Las Vegas in 1994 and sold for $101,500 to a private collector.

The car was sold off again for $81,250 in August to Steve and Suzannah Hall, who are huge Elvis fans. They then offered to the car up for display at Beaulieu, according to The Telegraph.

Lady Fiona Montagu, wife of Lord Montagu, the founder of the museum, was one of the first people to see the piece of rock history.

"I am a huge fan, and had the costume made to wear at an Elvis-themed fundraising evening we held in the Museum last year in support of our Beaulieu education charity, the Countryside Education Trust," said Montagu.

The only copy of Elvis Presley's first recording will be put up for auction in January. The record, which was recorded by Presley when he was 18, is expected to fetch anywhere between $75,000 and $100,000, according to Invaluable.com.

The auction will also feature Presley's first driver's license, which was issued to Presley back in 1952. The license is expected to sell for an estimated $15,000 to $20,000.

The auction will take place at Graceland in Memphis on January 8, which would have been Presley's 80th birthday.
