Elizabeth Taylor's iconic Rolls-Royce up for sale
Elizabeth Taylor was known for many things. Her stunning eyes shone on the silver screen, woo'd many a husband and sparkled when she was able to volunteer and help those in need.
But the "Cleopatra" actress owned much more than Oscars and accolades; she often would roll about town in her 1960 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II.

Taylor ordered it after marrying singer Eddie Fisher while she was living at The Pierre Hotel in New York City.
She would flit around in the Rolls, which she nicknamed "The Green Goddess" due to its custom green color. Green was Taylor's favorite color, and it was the same color as the wedding dress she wore when she wed Fisher.

She owned the car for 20 years, which means it outlasted her marriages to Fisher, to attorney-turned-politician John Warner, and to actor Richard Burton -- twice.
The car is one of only about 20 left-hand drive Silver Cloud II drophead coupes built, and it has only had two owners since it rolled off the production line. The odometer reads just over 40,000 miles.
