Classic Car Auctions (CCA) claim the 1980 Range Rover Classic was one of two owned by the Jamaican music legend, adding that it was obtained via an agent who dealt directly with the Marley family.
Despite having a smashed windscreen, a battered body and an engine that currently resides in its boot, the SUV is expeted to fetch around £150,000 (around $181,000) when the hammer drops.
The 43-year-old Range Rover was one of purchases made just one year before his death in May 1981 at the age of 36. CCA says the SUV was originally shipped to Marley from the Solihull factory via Germany to Jamaica.
In addition two Range Rover SUVs, Bob Marley also owned a matte-blue Land Rover SUV that is currently in his former home, now a museum, at 56 Hope Road in Kingston.
