There's little for Hagerty to put a value on this unique Barbie car other than the closest equivalent in the real world, which was a 2003 chassis sold by RM Sotheby's last year for CHF16.4million Over the years, Barbie has proven herself a true petrolhead. Her first car was an Austin Healey 3000, and she has been behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz 190 SL and Ferrari 328 GTS. This time, all eyes will be on her trademark pink Chevrolet Corvette.
Ford's legendary pony car, the Mustang, has also been a favourite of Barbie's through the years, with fans fondly remembering her cherry red 1994 example. With the British sports car maker embroiled in an arms race with Porsche, Barbie opted to switch allegiances in the late nineties. Radio 4 broadcaster Paul Lewis reveals: My whole pension is in CASH and not shares... after all I am Mr Money Box This comes as carwow has seen a 70% surge in customer enquiries for convertibles since May compared to the same period last year. This National insurance cut is welcome but it doesn't fix Britain's stealth tax problem, says SIMON LAMBERT

A Corvette, you say? Nah, Babs didn’t own America’s Sports Car until America celebrated its 200th birthday in 1976. An iconic Volkswagen Beetle? Nope, that came later too. Mattel decided the perfect car for a teenage girl living in cold-weather Wisconsin was … wait for it … an Austin-Healey 3000 MKII. Maybe it had snow tires? One thing it didn’t have was a top. After the Chancellor declares ‘it’s time to get Sid investing again’... Where to shop for ‘bargain’ UK small capsAccording to a series of 1960s novels published by Random House, Barbara Millicent Roberts—yes, that’s Barbie’s full name—grew up in the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. She likely didn’t venture far from home in her early years, maybe because she couldn’t. Forced for decades to walk on her tippy toes, Barbie was in desperate need of some wheels. She finally got her first car in 1962. For comparison, you can count boyfriend Ken’s cars on one hand. Let’s face it, the guy is just along for the ride. More about that later. There's little for Hagerty to put a real-world value on this unique Barbie car other than the closest equivalent that changed hands recently - a 2003 Scuderia Ferrari F1 chassis sold by RM Sotheby's last year. With cool details and realistic touches, this Barbie vehicle makes a great gift for 3 to 7 year olds. Mat Watson, Chief Content Officer at carwow commented; “Not only is the Barbie Movie providing dream convertible inspiration but the UK’s enjoyed a streak of hot, dry weather since May too. On carwow, we’ve seen this translate into a larger than usual boost of online searches, inquiries, and sales of convertible cars. With consumers catching Barbie fever when it comes to other products, we anticipate we’ll see a big summer for convertible sales too.”
