Heath driving his Aston Martin in Sydney, January 01, 2005.
The ROYAL blue classic Aston Martin V8, which once belonged to Heath Ledger, is again up for sale in Sydney.
The beautifully presented car was actually the NEC Motor Show car and it is finished in deep royal blue, with chamois leather piped in navy and navy Wilton carpets.
For a time, it was proudly parked in the driveway of Ledger's former Bronte home, proving that he was a man of style. However, it is now in the showroom of the Classic Throttle Shop in North Sydney, with a price tag of $145,000* - only for the most committed of the Ledger memorabilia hunters.
