The Nissan Skyline sports car driven by Paul Walker in Fast & Furious has been put up for a charity sale, with a €1m price tag.

The buyer will also receive the rental certificate from Universal Pictures that proves it was the one used in the film, the fourth in the series. The proceeds will go to Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide, whose work involves responding to natural disasters and other crises via a network of skilled relief workers.

The actor was killed in a car accident last year, when the Porsche Carrera GT his friend Roger Rodas was driving crashed and burst into flames; a coroner's report stated that the car had been travelling at over 100mph at the time of the crash.

For 13 years he headed up the Fast and Furious franchise, starring alongside the likes of Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel in car-racing thrillers. He will appear in the seventh instalment in 2015, as most of his scenes were completed at the time of his death, and another posthumous movie, Brick Mansions, will be released this year. His role in the forthcoming hitman movie Agent 47 was given to Rupert Friend, and he was replaced in romance The Best of Me by James Marsden.
