More than 350 classic film outfits will be auctioned in March for up to £60,000 a piece - reports The Sun.

The collection, to be sold at auctioneers Bonhams, includes some of the biggest costumes ever to grace the silverscreen.

The collection is being sold by Angels - the costumier for films shot in Britain.

There will be everything from Alec Guinness's cloak in Star Wars to Al Pacino's shoes worn in The Merchant of Venice as well as many items from popular TV shows.

James Bond costumes are high on the list and prospective buyers will be allowed to try on Sean Connery's dinner jacket, Roger Moore's navy commander jacket and even Pierce Brosnan's Brioni suit from Goldeneye.

Dad's Army fans can purchase Arthur Lowe's uniform.

Costumes from five Doctor Whos will be on sale, including Christopher Eccleston's leather jacket - expected to fetch around £4,000, and an outfit worn by Tom Baker - expected to fetch £20,000.

Adrian Cowdry of Bonhams said: "You'll never get such a large, important and diverse collection in one place again."

The sale takes place on March 6.
