What is my BMW worth given its famous previous owner?

I own a 2016 BMW 750i with every conceivable extra - new price £81,915. The car was owned by Francis Rossi from new to my purchase in September 2020.
Car is in as new condition. Glacier silver metallic, Nappa leather in Zagora Beige. The car has a full BMW Service History and has only 27,000 miles covered.

I would be grateful if you could advise what premium price this 750i with such a unique ownership history would be likely to achieve?

A car of this age and mileage without a famous previous owner is likely to be worth around £25,000-£30,000, so any premium on top of that because of its history will depend on what documentation or evidence you can provide which proves the previous ownership, and also what someone is prepared to pay for it because of it. It is possible that this would increase its value by a few thousands pounds but there are no guarantees. We would suggest entering it into a classic car auction where you can include details about the previous owner, which will also mean it is seen by a wider audience.
