KARACHI: The Academy Award winner George Clooney is selling his 2008 Tesla Signature 100 Roadster to raise funds for relief work in Sudan.
He is aiming to raise more than $100,000 to aid the victims of war-torn Sudan by auctioning off his limited-edition electric car.
Clooney, who is a philanthropist, has been raising awareness about the humanitarian crisis
in the troubled African republic for a long period of time.
He is hoping to boost funds for aid in the area with the sale of his rare black metallic 2008 Tesla Roadster.
The eco-friendly Signature 100 vehicle is one of the earliest models of the two-seater sports car.
It will be auctioned off by Gooding & Company at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in Los Angeles.
“We are overjoyed to present George Clooney's Signature 100 Tesla at Pebble Beach because
this is an incredible opportunity to purchase a modern collector car with all the right
elements; one-owner, celebrity provenance; historical significance; limited-edition rarity
and philanthropic ties,” David Gooding, president and founder of the auction company, said.
The amount raised from the sale will help the ‘Satellite Sentinel Project’, co-founded by
George and activist John Prendergast.
Earlier this year, Clooney was arrested outside the country’s embassy in Washington for
remonstration about human rights violence.
However, he was released from jail the same day; his efforts for the prosperity of humankind
are well appreciated.
