A psychedelic golf buggy used by Noel Gallagher at his Chalfont St Giles home is among a host of Oasis memorabilia going to auction after news of the band’s reunion last week.
Perhaps the most peculiar item of over 60 lots on offer at Propstore auctioneers' website, Noel’s golf buggy appears to have undergone a psychedelic paint job in the same style as John Lennon’s Rolls Royce Phantom V limousine.
The vehicle was given to the singer by his then-wife Meg Matthews as a gift in the late 1990s, which he used to travel around the pair’s estate in Chalfont St Giles, and is expected to sell for between £5,000 and £10,000.
While the 57-year-old no longer lives in Buckinghamshire, he spoke about his love for the area ahead of a headlining slot at last year’s PennFest – also giving a shout-out to his “favourite Indian restaurant for a vindaloo”, Milton’s Cottage on Deanway.

The memorabilia auction comes after Noel and brother Liam announced they were reuniting for the first time since breaking up backstage at France’s Rock en Seine festival in 2009 – with an Oasis reunion tour across the UK and Ireland planned for 2025.
Other items on offer include 18 of Noel’s guitars, including his recognisable Silver Sparkle Gibson Les Paul Florentine, which he has described as “the best guitar in the world” and is expected to sell for up to £400,000.
A tambourine used on stage by Liam is also up for grabs, along with a number of Noel’s handwritten lyrics to Wonderwall, which are estimated to go for between £4,000 and £8,000.
Fans will be able to view the auction’s items in the Together We’ll Fly exhibition at the Cumberland Hotel near London’s Marble Arch, from Friday, October 18, to Sunday, October 20, with proceeds from the event supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Propstore’s music and poster specialist, Mark Hochman said: “Propstore is genuinely excited to offer fans the chance to own these extraordinary pieces of music history.
“This auction provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with the legacy of Oasis and we can’t wait to see these iconic items become part of new collections that will celebrate them for years to come.”
A preview exhibition will be held at Propstore’s Hertfordshire office by appointment from Wednesday, October 16 to Friday, November 8, before the Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction begins in November.
