The 51-year-old uploaded photos of herself with her 2004 Chrysler PT along with a "no reserve" tag, meaning a potential buyer could snatch up the deal for less than a pound.
South-east London based Fergison revealed on the description section of the web page that the car goes by the name of Dolly.
“Dolly is getting to be an old girl now,” she wrote, up-selling it further by adding that "many a well-known face" have sat in the seats.

She also wrote: “Dolly has been a joy to have, so it’s with reluctance that I’m selling her. She is steeped in genuine floor-to-ceiling memories. Bye, bye Dolly and thank you for the adventures.”
Despite the initial 99p price tag, bids started coming in thick and fast, with the figure soon reaching £500.
As if owning the impressively-connected automobile isn't enough, the lucky highest bidder will receive a signed photo of the actress as well as a note requesting they “look after my old faithful”.

A day into the listing (and 60 bids later) and the car has so far reached £2,750.01 - with still a week of bidding left to go.
The listing also includes the information that Fergison will donate a quarter of the proceeds to Ellenor - a hospice charity helping those that face terminal illness.
Dolly was purchased when Fergison had been a cast member in EastEnders for a year. Her last appearance as Heather was as a corpse, following her untimely death at the hands of Ben Mitchell.
