Noel Gallagher ‘sells his classic Jaguar sports car for £125k’ – after it ‘sat in his garage for 25 years’ since he never learnt to drive
Noel Gallagher has reportedly sold his classic Jaguar sports car for £125,000 to a mystery buyer, despite having never learnt to drive it over the 25 years he owned it.
The singer, 55, is thought to have made a profit of £15,000 on the 1967 vehicle, which he had bought in 1997 for £110,000 during the height of Oasis’ fame.
Having previously dubbed it one of his ‘most expensive mistakes’, his daughter Anaïs, 22, was allegedly set to inherit the automobile, which featured red leather interior, before it was put up for sale in March.

It has been claimed that Noel had every intention to obtain a driver’s license, but gave up after taking just one lesson.
He said on Radio X in 2019: ‘My £110,000 Jaguar just sits in the garage. It’s been there since the ’90s.
‘I thought when I became a fully-blown rock star, I was gonna need a car. So I got a MkII Jaguar from 1967, the year I was born. I thought I’ll easily have learned to drive.’
Woohoo! The singer, 55, is thought to have made a profit of £15,000 on the 1967 vehicle, which he had bought in 1997 for £110,000 during the height of Oasis’ fame

Ensuring it didn’t go to waste though, the 125mph soft-top was featured in the We’re On Our Way Now music video by his band, High Flying Birds.
Doctor Who star Matt Smith and actress Gala Gordon put on a cosy display in the Jag while driving around London for the fictional visual.
Hurst Park Automobiles, a classic car dealership based in London, told The Sun: ‘We can’t disclose any further information about who has bought the car, or how much it was for.’

MailOnline has contacted Noel’s representatives for comment.
It comes after Noel was caught looking embarrassed after an entire restaurant serenaded him with his own song.
The hitmaker was having lunch in Ibiza with his wife Sara MacDonald and son, when he was recognised.
The surrounding customers began singing Wonderwall by Oasis at him, and clapping along.
A bemused Noel cringed and put his head in his hands as Sara got out her phone to record the hilarious moment to his mortification.
The funny interaction was all recorded in a TikTok that soon went viral, with the TikToker saying: ‘Noel Gallagher from Oasis in Ibiza!!! Everyone was singing their song. I think he was a little embarrassed hehe.
Noel shares two sons Sonny, 11, and Donovan, 14, with Sara, and daughter Anaïs with his ex-wife Meg Matthews, although she wasn’t present with them on the trip.
