A gray, three-piece pin-stripe suit worn by Sir Winston Churchill was bought for $1,700 by Madame Tussaud's waxworks at a London auction on Friday.
The company said its current model of the British wartime leader wears a black coat and striped trousers, specially made to suit Churchill's preferences."Usually, famous people present clothes to us, but we didn't have a suit from Churchill and this gray one, which was made for him in 1957, will be stored for possible future use," said Juliet Simpkins of Tussaud's.
Churchill, who died in 1965 at age 90, was modeled 13 times by the waxworks as he changed appearance throughout his long career.
