The donation of the autographed car was part of anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration over the weekend in London’s Hyde Park. The vehicle was also autographed by Vodafone Mercedes-Benz driver Lewis Hamilton, along with Quincy Jones, Annie Lennox and Peter Gabriel.

The auction of the car will raise funds for Mandela’s 46664 campaign against HIV/AIDS. As of Monday morning, there was no word on Mandela’s Web site about when the car will go up for auction. The 46664 number refers to Mandela’s prisoner number during his detainment.
