The museum states that the $2 million armor-plated car will go to the highest bidder, with a portion of the sale benefitting Children with Leukemia, a charity supported by the late Princess of Wales.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was purchased in 1979, according to The Daily Mail, and is equipped with bulletproof windows, intercoms and protection against poisonous gas. The interior also features crimson leather seats and matching carpet.
