Elvis Presley's Mercedes-Benz 600 limo, the 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III seen in "Pan's Labyrinth",  and the 1934 Lagonda M45 Tourer owned by Nick Mason are three of the stand out lots in Bonhams "Important Motor Cars and Fine Automobilia" sale, which takes place tomorrow (December 6th) at Mercedes-Benz World, at Brooklands in Surrey.

Nick's Lagonda has had five owners since new. The four and a half litre model with open four-seater body was built by Vanden Plas, and was immaculately restored by Nick who bought it in October 1991. It is estimated at around £110,000-140,000. More details of the car (and the auction) at www.Bonhams.com.

Proof that you cannot keep a good album down, Pink Floyd's 1973 classic "The Dark Side Of the Moon" has earnt its highest rank on the Billboard 200 chart since 1980 as it has re-entered at No. 69, helped, no doubt, with Amazon.com offering the MP3 download of the album as a "deal of the day" at $1.99!

In other DSOTM news, BBC4 TV in the UK is airing a multipart scientific series named "The Beauty of Diagrams". On December 2nd the series looked at "Newton's Prism". In the programme, they compared Dark Side's iconic cover with Newton's Prism. As part of this, they undertook a short but interesting interview with Storm Thorgerson on the album cover.

The show will be repeated in due course, but you can see it now via the BBC iPlayer. Storm's interview starts at about 20 minutes and 50 seconds into the show, and goes on to around the 23 minutes, 30 seconds point.

Our thanks to Dr Najam Beg, and to David Haddock, for the Newton programme info.

Further to our story a couple of weeks ago concerning the Pink Floyd quadrophonic consoles which are being offered for auction at Bonhams in London's Knightsbridge on December 15th, there's a couple of other items of great interest to Floyd fans in the sale.

First, there's lot 155: a poster for a long-forgotten concert that Pink Floyd performed at Dunelm House, at the University of Durham, on March 20th, 1969. Until this poster appeared in the catalogue, this show had not been noted anywhere and was destined to be just a memory for a lucky few. The estimated selling price for this is £450-550.

The other item is lot 284: a one-off Epiphone Casino guitar signed by a host of rock legends with the proceeds going to Pup Aid. The charity was launched by Oasis singer Liam Gallagher to raise awareness of the terrible trade of puppy farming. The guitar is expected to sell for between £3000-4000, and is signed by the likes of Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Roger Daltrey, and David Gilmour, amongst others.
