- There's a red 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate going for auction at no reserve on Bring a Trailer.
- But its past ownership is what makes it special; it was once owned by none other than Lady Gaga.
- It was also owned by an ex-Formula One driver named Eddie Irvine.
I've always known Lady Gaga had fantastic taste in fashion. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to learn that she also has great taste in cars. She once owned this red-over-black 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate, which is now up for grabs on online car auction site Bring a Trailer.
Offered at no reserve, the auction will end in just a few days. And funny enough, Gaga isn't the only celebrity who has owned this Alfa Spider. Eddie Irvine, an ex-Formula One race car driver, bought the car because she'd owned it, according to Road & Track.
The car wears Irvine's signature, but when he approached Gaga to have her sign it, she apparently told him, "Get that shit out of here, now!"
And now it's for sale.
You can bid for this 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate that was once owned by Lady Gaga and ex-Formula One driver Eddie Irvine on Bring a Trailer.

The owner of the shop selling the car, Gaston Rossato, told Road & Track: "I don't know why she wanted it, but I have a feeling I know why she didn't want it anymore. I think it was a getting-rid-of-things-that-remind-you-of-an-ex-boyfriend situation."
