IT IS not a ring-side seat that's up for grabs, but a driver's seat. That's because a Kent classic car dealer is selling a Bentley once owned by former boxer Mike Tyson.

Peter Jarvis, 61, of Gildenhill Road, Hextable, near Dartford has placed a £135,000 price tag on the 1999 Bentley Continental Sedanca Coupe. The twice-heavyweight champion, nicknamed Iron Mike, was the first owner of the car.

Mr Jarvis, who started buying and selling cars in 1969, bought the car in Chicago at the end of last year.

In the past he has also bought and sold vehicles to Princess Margaret, comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, and singer Tom Jones, and a Mercedes once owned by Beatle John Lennon.
