Two well-known icons namely the Rolling Stones and the Jeep recently collaborated for a good cause.  A brand new orange Jeep Renegade autographed by members of the Rolling Stones band was auctioned off in the name of charity.

Bearing the signatures of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts, this star-studded off-roader – the first Jeep to be built in Italy – was sold by Charity Buzz to an anonymous bidder for US$46,000. That’s actually worth more than two-and-a-half times its original price.

The proceeds will go to Community Links, a London-based organization that develops and runs practical activities in order to handle the causes and consequences of social exclusion.

The Jeep company was named as the “Presenting Sponsor” and “exclusive automotive partner” of The Rolling Stones’ “14 On Fire” tour and chose the band’s only Italian concert to launch its first-ever small SUV in Italy.
