His immaculate 2002 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible, which has just 4,420 miles on the clock, carries a conservative sale estimate of £60,000 to £90,000. The sale kicked off at Savile Hall, at the Royal Armouries, with about 300 people packing the room and many more bidders taking part over the phone and internet.
The DJ, who died just before his 85th birthday last year, nicknamed his beloved car "The Beast", and it still bears his personal registration number, JS 247. Lot one - the Highland suit - was bought by a local man.
The auction, which is estimated to raise up to £300,000, will take place at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. As the auction continued, some items started to soar above their estimates.
A Scottish shepherd's crook estimated to sell for between £30 to £60 went for £380.
